FAQs
What material is the door knocker made of?
The door knocker is made of antique iron.
What is the diameter of the door knocker?
The diameter of the ring is 102mm.
Does it come with everything needed for installation?
Yes, it comes complete with bolt-through fixings for installation.
Can this door knocker be used on a metal door?
While it might be possible with modifications, it is primarily designed for solid wood or composite doors to ensure a secure bolt-through installation.
How should I maintain the black antique finish?
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. For added protection in harsh environments, a clear sealant can be applied.
What is the benefit of bolt-through fixings?
Bolt-through fixings provide a more secure and stable mounting solution compared to screws that only grip the surface, as they pass completely through the door.
Is this suitable for exterior use?
Yes, it is designed for exterior use, but care should be taken in harsh weather conditions to maintain the finish.
Troubleshooting
Knocker is loose or wobbly.
Check and tighten the nuts on the bolt-through fixings from the inside of the door. Ensure the door is solid enough to hold the fixings securely.
Knocker makes a dull sound.
Ensure the knocker and its mounting plate (if applicable) are making firm contact with the door surface. Tighten fixings if necessary. The sound can also vary based on door material.
Difficulty installing the bolt-through fixings.
Ensure you have drilled the holes to the correct size and are using a drill bit appropriate for your door material. Make sure there are no obstructions within the door.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Mark Position: Determine the desired location on your door, ensuring it is easily accessible and aesthetically pleasing.
- Drill Holes: Using the knocker as a template, mark and drill two holes through the door for the bolt-through fixings. Ensure the drill bit size matches the bolts provided.
- Attach Fixtures: Insert the bolts from one side of the door (usually the exterior). Align the knocker on the exterior and the mounting plate (if applicable) on the interior.
- Secure: Tighten the nuts onto the bolts from the interior to secure the knocker firmly to the door.
Compatibility:
- Door Type: Best suited for solid wood or composite doors that can accommodate bolt-through fixings. Not recommended for hollow or thin doors.
- Door Thickness: Ensure your door thickness is compatible with the length of the provided bolts.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the antique iron finish.
- Maintenance: Periodically check that the fixings remain tight. For exterior doors in coastal or highly humid environments, consider applying a light coat of clear sealant to the finish for added protection against potential corrosion.
