Why should you use a door knocker?

The purpose of a door knocker is for visitors to be able to announce their presence once they arrive at your home. There are many benefits when opting for a traditional door knocker rather than a door bell. Both pieces of door furniture have their own pros and cons, however, you may find that door knockers are the way you want to go for your project. If so, door knockers are often cheaper and easier to install than doorbells and do not require any wiring.

Doorbells are useful if you have a large house with rooms that are far away from the front door. The chiming sounds will ring throughout your home, alerting you. An electrician will be required for the installation and upkeep of this product, however. Although door knockers may not possess the loud ringing chime effect, their heavy design and knocker plater allows them to produce a loud, distinct knocking sound. This provides you with the same result of informing you that you have guests.

Door knockers help to protect your knuckles and allow you to knock on a door without effort. These products are perfect for elderly visitors who cannot use their hands against the wood, as the door knocker does this job for them.

Knockers are great for long term use, as they are very low maintenance and will always serve as a statement piece on your front door. If you want to add a nautical effect to your design, why not add a ships bell instead to your entrance.

Where to install a door knocker

Door knockers are typically installed on the face of the door and positioned in the centre. This not only creates a vector that your guest’s eyes are immediately drawn to but adds practicality when using the product. The knocker plate is positioned right under the knocker handle. The knocker plate protects your door from any marks and is used to create the crisp and loud knocking effect.
