FAQs
What material is the door knocker made from?
The door knocker is manufactured from high-quality 316 grade stainless steel, known for its strength and excellent corrosion resistance.
Is the spyhole included or is it an extra purchase?
The knocker is available in two versions: one with a pre-integrated spyhole and one without. You can choose the option that best suits your needs.
How do I choose the right finish?
Consider the existing hardware on your door and house. Satin Silver complements brushed nickel or stainless steel, PVD Gold matches brass, and Mirror Polished Silver offers a bright, reflective chrome-like appearance.
What is the warranty on this door knocker?
The product comes with a lifetime coating guarantee, ensuring the finish will perform and look good for the life of the product under normal usage.
Can this knocker be installed on any type of door?
It is suitable for most solid doors, including wood, composite, and uPVC. The main requirement is that the door is thick enough to accommodate the bolt-through fixing system.
Does the spyhole offer a wide field of vision?
The spyhole is designed for standard visibility to screen visitors effectively. Specific field of vision details are typically not provided but it functions as a typical door viewer.
Troubleshooting
Knocker feels loose after installation
Ensure the fixing bolts are fully tightened from the inside of the door. If the door is very thin, consider using a backing plate or washers for a more secure fit.
Spyhole view is obstructed or blurry
Check that the spyhole lens is clean on both the interior and exterior sides. Ensure the correct size drill bit was used during installation to prevent any damage to the viewer mechanism.
Finish appears dull or discolored
Wipe down with a soft, damp cloth. If the discolouration persists, ensure no harsh chemicals were used. The lifetime guarantee covers finish defects under normal use.
