Prima Profile Doctor Heavy Duty Solid Brass Slimline Door Knocker

Profile Doctor Door Knocker Solid Brass Heavy Duty Bolt Through Fixing 7.6" UPVC

Our heavy duty solid brass profile doctor door knocker has a timeless elegance, mixing the traditional with a stunning modern finish. Manufactured from high quality brass, then hand polished and topped off with a durable coating.

These doctor knockers come as a sturdy unit, with a classic 'doctors knocker' shape. The knocker has a through fixing for strength and stability.

This solidly made knocker is reminiscent of times gone by where the Victorian physicians would identify themselves by fitting this design of knocker on their door - it permitted the sleeping doctor to be woken by a frantic caller in the middle of the night. Thankfully this use is a rarity nowadays, but a resounding rap with these knockers still echoes quality and great taste.

A door knocker is often the focal centre of the facade of a home and the knocker you choose can say a lot about your sense of style and taste. This knocker offers that real sense of vision and adds the perfect finish to all doors.

Installation:

Tools required: Pencil, tape measure, spirit level, electric drill and drill bit and spanner.

1: Measure the spacing between the fixing positions on the door knocker; you will require two holes; one for the door knocker itself and one for the striking plate. Then select where you want to place the knocker on your door. Using a pencil, mark on the door where each bolt will go. 

2: With the electric drill and the correct sized drill bit, carefully drill holes all the way through your door. Clean the holes so that they are free of dust and particles.

3: Place the striking plate bolt through the correct hole, ensuring that the nut is on the inside of the door (trim to the correct length as necessary); screw the bolt into your striking plate securely. Next, put the second bolt through the other hole and screw it into the door knocker. Use a wrench or spanner to gently tighten all bolts. (Please note that some knockers may have a small grub screw to stop the fixing and striking plates rotating, these will require separate shallow drill holes). 

4: Wipe the knocker clean of any dust from the installation, stand back and admire your good work!
