Make a statement at your front door — a heavy-duty solid zinc knocker that installs cleanly, without a single bolt in sight.

The Fab & Fix Architectural Modern Door Knocker is a precision-engineered, heavy-duty door knocker designed for homeowners who want to elevate their entrance without compromise. Constructed from solid zinc to exacting specifications, it delivers a substantial, premium feel that is immediately apparent — and a contemporary aesthetic that suits the clean lines of modern door designs perfectly.

Part of the acclaimed Fab & Fix Architectural Door Hardware range, this knocker features a patented Easy Fit Faceplate system that eliminates the need for through-drilling entirely. There are no visible bolts on the inside of your door — just a clean, professional result that looks as though it was fitted by a specialist. Available in Chrome and Graphite Hardex finishes, it is compatible with uPVC, composite, and timber doors.

Key Benefits:

• Clean External Fixing — No Through Fixings – The patented Easy Fit Faceplate screws directly to the external face of the door only. There are no through fixings, no bolts penetrating the door, and nothing visible on the interior — a genuinely clean, professional finish from both sides.
• Premium Solid Zinc Construction – Heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant solid zinc gives this knocker a substantial weight and build quality that feels markedly superior to lightweight alternatives on the market.
• Universal Door Compatibility – Designed for use on uPVC, composite, and timber doors, making it an ideal replacement or upgrade across virtually all modern UK door types.
• Hardex Finish Technology – Available in Chrome and Graphite, both finished in Fab & Fix's Hardex coating — engineered for outstanding resistance to fading, tarnishing, and weathering in exposed outdoor conditions.
• Architectural Range Design – A significant step up from the Classic series, this knocker belongs to the premium Architectural hardware range, offering a refined, contemporary silhouette that complements modern door furniture.
• Straightforward DIY Installation – The face-fixed faceplate system is designed for straightforward installation, removing the complexity and risk of drilling through door panels — a confident DIYer can achieve a flawless result in minutes.
• Low Maintenance Durability – With routine cleaning and light lubrication twice a year, the Hardex finish retains its appearance and the knocker continues to operate smoothly, even in coastal or industrial environments.

Pro Tips:

Pro Tip: Use a pencil and a small spirit level to mark the intended position before committing, ensuring the knocker sits perfectly straight. If your door is within 25 miles of the coast or near an industrial site, increase your cleaning and lubrication schedule to at least three times per year to protect the Hardex finish from salt and airborne contaminants.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can this door knocker be fitted to a composite door?
Yes — the Fab & Fix Architectural Modern Door Knocker is fully compatible with uPVC, composite, and timber doors. The patented Easy Fit Faceplate system is specifically designed to work reliably across all three door materials, making it one of the most versatile knockers available.

Does fitting this knocker require drilling through the door?
No — this is one of its standout features. The patented face-fixed faceplate eliminates the need to drill through the door panel entirely. There are no bolts, no visible fixings on the interior, and no risk of damaging your door during installation. It is a clean, secure, and entirely non-destructive fitting method.

What is the difference between the Chrome and Graphite finishes?
Both finishes are part of Fab & Fix's Hardex range, which is engineered for long-lasting colour retention and weather resistance. Chrome offers a bright, polished appearance that suits contemporary and transitional door styles, while Graphite provides a darker, muted tone that pairs beautifully with anthracite grey, black, and charcoal composite doors.

Is this knocker suitable for use near the coast or in exposed locations?
Yes, though Fab & Fix recommend more frequent cleaning and lubrication for hardware installed within 25 miles of the coast or near building sites and industrial areas. For standard inland installations, cleaning the exterior surface and lightly lubricating moving parts twice a year is sufficient to maintain the finish and function long-term.

How does this compare to a standard door knocker?
This knocker is part of Fab & Fix's premium Architectural range — a substantial upgrade over the Classic series. It features heavier solid zinc construction for a more tangible, quality feel, a more refined modern design profile, the no-drill face-fixed faceplate system, and the durable Hardex finish. The result is a noticeably more premium product in terms of both appearance and longevity.
