Door Knockers

A front door knocker is a classic home accessory that can add a finishing touch to any house’s exterior. The traditional placement of a knocker directly in the middle of a door puts it front and center, and provides an opportunity to add a statement piece that helps define your home’s first impression.

Although nearly all door knockers are made of metal, they come in such a wide variety of designs and finishes that it’s easy to find one that is as expressive as you are. Whether you’re looking for a sleek and glossy knocker, one with an understated patina, or something more sculptural that makes a bold statement, themine.com has hundreds of choices. From nautical knockers, classical motifs, and a menagerie of animal designs (including the iconic lion door knocker), to abstract and contemporary knocker designs, there are styles to fit any home. And, with products from dependable brands such as Michael Healy, Classic Hardware, and Atlas Homewares you’re sure to find a knocker that will be a stylish and functional addition to your door for years to come.

When it comes to installation, door knockers are actually very easy to add or replace. The project requires just a couple minutes, a few screws, a drill, and a level. The method of mounting the knocker will depend on what kind of door you have. For a wooden door you can surface mount the knocker with a couple screws through the front, while for all other door compositions, you’ll want to mount it from behind with screws that go all the way through the door. Some door knockers also come with the additional feature of an integrated peep hole, so for this type you may need to take an extra step to drill a hole for viewing as well.
