How do I clean and maintain the black finish?

Will the black finish rust or corrode?

Troubleshooting

Knocker is loose after installation.

Ensure the bolt-through fixings are fully tightened. If the issue persists, the door material may be too soft; consider using wood filler or a larger bolt if possible.

Black finish appears dull or scratched.

Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For minor scratches, check if a specialized metal polish for black finishes is suitable, but test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid abrasive cleaning.

Knocker makes excessive noise when striking.

Ensure the strike plate is positioned correctly and securely fastened. You may slightly adjust the knocker's position or add a small felt pad to the striking surface if a softer sound is desired.
