Pro Tips:

Pro Tip: If you live within 25 miles of the coast or near an industrial area, increase cleaning frequency to prevent corrosive contaminants from building up on the finish. Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner with a soft cloth and apply a light lubricant to the ring pivot point at least twice a year to keep the knocker operating smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I need to drill through my door to fit this knocker?
No. The Fab & Fix Heritage Bullring uses a patented face-fixing faceplate that attaches to the surface of your door. This is particularly beneficial on composite and uPVC doors, where drilling through the panel can affect structural integrity. Only short fixings into the face of the door are required.

Is this knocker suitable for my uPVC door?
Yes, this knocker is specifically designed for use on uPVC, timber, and composite doors. The face-fixing method is compatible with all three door types without the need for specialist tools or modifications.

What does BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 mean in practice?
BS EN 1670 is the British and European standard for corrosion resistance of building hardware. Grade 5 is the highest rating, requiring the product to withstand 480 hours of salt spray testing without significant degradation. In everyday terms, this means the finish is built to endure harsh outdoor exposure, including coastal environments, without rusting, pitting, or peeling prematurely.

Will this knocker match my existing Fab & Fix door furniture?
The Heritage Bullring is part of the Fab & Fix perfectly matching hardware range and is available in six finishes. Provided you select the same finish as your existing Fab & Fix handles, letterplate, or numerals, it will coordinate directly with the rest of your door furniture.

What fixings do I need to buy separately?
Screws are not included in the pack, as the appropriate fixing depends on your door material. For timber doors, standard wood screws of the appropriate gauge are suitable. For uPVC and composite doors, you'll need self-tapping screws compatible with your door's outer skin thickness. Your local hardware or DIY retailer will be able to advise based on your door type.
