Frequently asked questions
Where is a door knocker typically installed on an entry door?
A door knocker is typically installed centred horizontally on the door, mounted between 60 and 66 inches from the threshold. Casson Hardware lists recommended mounting heights on each product page where the manufacturer specifies them.
What materials are used for designer door knockers?
Casson Hardware stocks door knockers in solid brass, blackened steel, and stainless steel — materials chosen for weather resistance, acoustic resonance, and finish stability over time.
Can a door knocker be specified to match the rest of the entry hardware?
Yes. Casson Hardware carries door knockers in finish families that coordinate with entry levers, house numbers, mailboxes, and doorbells so an entire entryway can be specified in one finish.
Does Casson Hardware ship door knockers across Canada?
Yes. Casson Hardware ships door knockers to all Canadian provinces and territories from our Toronto warehouse, with delivery to the United States also available.
