Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Compatibility: This door knocker is suitable for a wide range of doors, including timber, composite, uPVC, and aluminium.
Setup:
- Determine the desired position for the knocker on your door.
- Mark the positions for the bolt holes through the fixing plate.
- Drill appropriate holes through the door for the supplied 70mm stainless steel threaded bars.
- Insert the threaded bars from the inside of the door, passing through the door.
- Align the knocker on the outside and the strike plate on the inside with the threaded bars.
- Secure the knocker and strike plate by screwing them onto the threaded bars. Ensure the dome head cap is on the internal side.
- Tighten securely but avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the door or hardware.
Care:
- The product is made from unlacquered solid brass. To maintain its original polished appearance, use a dry cloth and a suitable brass polish like Brasso. Regular light polishing will prevent excessive oxidation.
- If you prefer the natural aging process, the knocker can be left untouched. The brass will develop a patina over time, adding a unique character.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the brass finish.
