What are the overall dimensions?

The overall dimensions are 110mm (4 3/8″) high and 80mm (3 1/8″) wide including the leaf, with a projection of 60mm (2 3/8″).

Is this suitable for all types of doors?

How should I clean the door knocker?

Troubleshooting

Knocker does not strike the brass strip clearly

Ensure the knocker is firmly attached and properly aligned. Check that the striking plate is securely bolted to the door. Minor adjustments to the knocker's position might be needed.

Loose fitting after installation

Retighten the nuts on the inside of the door. If the bolts feel stripped, replacement bolts of a similar gauge may be required.

Surface marks or scratches on the finish

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. For minor scratches, a black furniture polish may help to disguise them, but avoid abrasive cleaners.
