FAQs
What material is the Spira Brass Fleur De Lys Knocker made from?
It is made from high-quality cast iron.
How is the door knocker fixed to the door?
It uses a concealed internal rear bolt-through fixing system for a secure installation.
What are the dimensions of the door knocker?
The dimensions are approximately 195mm in length, 75mm in width, and 7.5cm in depth.
Is the black finish durable?
Yes, it features a high-density zinc-rich undercoat and a UV colour-fast black powder coated finish for increased durability and weather resistance.
Does it come with a stud to hit?
Yes, it includes a striking stud that alerts residents and protects the door from damage.
Can this be installed on a metal door?
While designed for wood or composite doors, installation on metal doors might be possible with appropriate fixings, but compatibility is not guaranteed and may void warranty. It's best suited for solid doors where a bolt-through fixing is feasible.
How should I clean the door knocker?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
Knocker is loose after installation
Ensure the rear bolt-through fixing is tightened securely. Check that the door material is firm enough to support the fixing.
Knocker makes a poor sound
The sound produced depends on the door material and thickness. Ensure the knocker itself is securely attached to the door.
Finish appears dull or faded
Wipe with a soft damp cloth. If fading is due to prolonged direct UV exposure, consider if the location is optimal or if touch-up paint is needed.
