Victorian urn-style knocker made from solid zamak with a polished chrome finish. Concealed fixing plate and flexi nylon bolts suit wooden, PVC and composite doors up to 75mm thick.
Clear, Distinct Knock - thanks to swivel bar mechanism
A pivoting swivel bar strikes against the body to create a louder, sharper sound than a flat plate alone. The simple mechanical action relies on mass and leverage to transmit impact through the knocker.
Visitors can be heard across many typical homes, useful for busy streets or thicker external doors.
Elegant, Seamless Exterior - with concealed fixing plate and polished chrome finish
Fixings are mounted behind a concealed plate so no screws show externally, while a polished chrome finish creates a consistent appearance. Solid zamak resists deformation while holding plating well.
A neat, professional look on the outside that complements other chrome door furniture.
Straightforward Fit for Common Door Types - thanks to flexi nylon bolts and supplied fittings
Two nylon flexi bolts are included along with colour-matched nuts and washers, and the bolts can be cut down to suit various thicknesses. The kit is compatible with wooden, PVC, composite and UPVC door constructions.
Simple installation with basic tools, avoiding the need for specialist trades on most front doors.
