Troubleshooting
Door knocker is loose after installation
Check that the screws are fully tightened. If the holes are stripped, you may need to use slightly larger screws or wood filler to secure them.
Knocker makes a dull sound
Ensure the knocker is making firm contact with the plate. Sometimes, slight adjustments to the mounting can improve sound projection. Check for any obstructions.
Surface appears dull or discolored
This is likely the natural patina developing. If you prefer a brighter finish, use a brass polish. For continued patina, simply wipe with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This door knocker requires mounting directly onto your front door. You will need appropriate screws or bolts (not included) that are suitable for your door material and the weight of the knocker. Ensure the mounting location is clear and the door can swing freely without obstruction. Mark the desired screw hole positions, pre-drill if necessary for your door type, and securely attach the knocker.
Compatibility: Compatible with most standard front doors, including wood, composite, and potentially some metal doors (with appropriate fixings). It is a purely decorative and functional hardware piece.
Care: To maintain the look, you can clean the brass with a soft, damp cloth. If you wish to preserve a bright, polished finish, use a brass polish according to the product instructions. However, many appreciate the natural aging process where the brass develops a unique patina over time, which requires no special care. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface.
