FAQs
Does this come with mounting hardware?
Yes, all necessary fixings for a standard installation are included in the box.
Can I mount this on a glass door?
No, this product is designed specifically for wooden and composite doors that can accommodate drilled fixings.
What are the exact dimensions?
The knocker is 13.5cm high, 11cm wide, and 3cm deep.
Will the bronze finish rust?
Solid brass does not rust like iron, though it may develop a natural patina over time due to exposure to the elements.
Is the knocker heavy?
Yes, it weighs 0.6kg, providing a solid and durable feel when used.
How do I maintain the 'aged' look?
Avoid using metal polishes that remove tarnish. Simply wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately to preserve the current finish.
Troubleshooting
Knocker feels loose after installation
Tighten the rear fixing screws or ensure the mounting bolts are flush with the interior of the door.
Finish appears dull or discolored
Clean with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust; if oxidation is uneven, use a light wax-based brass polish to buff the surface.
Difficulty drilling into composite door
Use a carbide-tipped drill bit at a low speed to penetrate the composite layer without cracking the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires only basic tools, such as a drill and a screwdriver, to mount the provided fixings through your door. It is compatible with both wooden and composite doors; for metal or composite, ensure you use an appropriate drill bit to prevent damage to the door's surface finish. To care for your aged bronze knocker, wipe it down periodically with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can strip the intentional 'aged' patina from the brass. If the finish loses its luster, a light application of beeswax or a specialized metal polish safe for brass can help restore its depth and shine.
