Troubleshooting
Door knocker is loose
Tighten the fixing screws from the inside of the door. Ensure they are fully secured.
Finish appears dull or tarnished
Clean gently with warm, soapy water. For stubborn marks, a specialized brass cleaner (used sparingly and according to instructions) may help, but avoid abrasive materials.
Screws are difficult to drive
Ensure you are using the correct screwdriver type (e.g., Phillips head). If drilling pilot holes, confirm they are of appropriate size for the screws and door material.
