Door Knockers

Door Knockers for uPVC, Composite & Timber Doors

Old door knocker faded, broken or just out of date? A new knocker is one of the quickest ways to smarten up a front door. Choose from Victorian urn, doctor, ring, lion head, ponytail and modern designs, with slimline versions for narrow door styles.

We stock door knockers from UAP, Prima, Avocet, Greenteq, Hoppe, Fab & Fix, Mila and Ultion, including solid brass heavy duty knockers and knockers with a built-in spy hole, so you can see who is there before you open the door. Match your knocker to your door handles and letter box for a finished look.

Choosing a Door Knocker

Slimline or standard

Slimline knockers are narrower, so they suit doors with a narrow centre rail or glass either side. Measure the space where the knocker will go.

Spy hole knocker

A knocker with a built-in spy hole replaces a separate door viewer. Check the door thickness range on the listing.

Replacing an old knocker

Measure between the old fixing holes and the size of the backplate. A knocker that covers the old holes saves filling them.

Finish

Match the finish to your handles and letter box. Finishes vary by knocker, so check each listing.

Door Knocker Buying Guide

Knockers for uPVC and Composite Doors

Most knockers fix through the door with bolts from the inside. On uPVC and composite doors, make sure the fixing bolts are long enough for your door's thickness; check the listing for the range each knocker suits.

Knockers with a Spy Hole

A spy hole knocker combines the knocker with a door viewer, so you only need one hole through the door for the viewer. If you already have a spy hole, line the new knocker up with it before you drill.

Solid Brass Knockers

Our Prima and Mila ProStyle and ProLinea knockers are heavy duty solid brass. They suit traditional and period doors as well as modern composite doors.
