A door knocker has a part fixed to the door, and a part (usually metal) which is attached to the door by a hinge, and may be lifted and used to strike a plate fitted to the door, or the door itself, making a noise. The struck plate, if present, would be supplied and fitted with the knocker. Many of us ignore how beautiful architectural antiques can be. One thing to remember is how long they have lasted and how much longer they will continue to last. It is also very positive to consider the planet when re using these old items. With a lick of paint and a polish by a great restorer they can be as good as new.
