Traditional Solid Brass Door Knockers

Traditional Knockers for Victorian and Modern Homes
Door knockers have been an elegant and popular addition to homes throughout time, reaching their peak in the Renaissance, Romanesque and Gothic eras. Although designs and materials have varied, the basic function has remained the same; to alert home owners they have a visitor. A door knocker is perhaps the most prominent feature on a front door so selecting a style that reflects your unique personality is important.

Sizes and Finishes
Traditional door knockers range in size but the average door knocker is between 5 and 8 inches. The most basic door knockers consist of a ring and striking plate (which is sometimes a separate component from the actual knocker). Although now door knockers are more ornamental than functional in most homes (they were replaced by doorbells) they can still be used on modern and Victorian homes. This style knocker is available in a variety of finishes including Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Polished Chrome, Brushed Nickel and Oil Rubbed Bronze. Use a common finish for your knocker, door knob and kick plate to create a common theme for your door and tie the look together.

How to Choose
When selecting a new knocker for your home it is important to follow a few basic steps. First, if you are using existing holes from a previous knocker pay attention to the center to center mounting distance - this varies between knockers. Second, choose a knocker that is proportional in size to the door you are installing it on. Larger front doors typically have larger knockers. Replacing older and worn doorknob sets with beautiful brass or crystal knobs is a great way to update your entryway door also. Choose a traditional or roped pattern to coordinate with your new knocker and a kick plate in the same finish. The front door is the first impression guests will have of your home so create a beautiful entryway set that focuses on detail.
