Hardware Essentials 852395 Bright Brass Door Knocker with Viewer, 7in, 1 Piece

Exactly what I ordered and looks awesome

The product itself is not so bad. It’s a door knocker. With a peep hole. It looks nice.But the instructions leave a lot to be desired! First of all there was no template provided to mark the precise location of the holes you need to drill. Second, the instructions say to drill a 3/16 inch hole for the screws. Well that is correct. The screws need a 3/16 inch hole, on the inside of the door. But there is a sleeve, which is actually part of the screw that attaches to the door knocker. So the hole on the outside of the door needs to be one quarter inch. That’s if you have a metal door. Because if you have a solid wood door then you’re going to have to drill a 1/4 inch hole the length of the sleeve only. If you drill all the way through with a quarter inch bit then the head of the screw will pull through the door.Who designed this anyway?

This is to be a gift, an it exceeded my expectations. I am having the family name engraved locally.

Just make sure you have a 1/2" drill bit to drill the peephole part. I have to say that because I know its not a standard bit to have. I bought this because the metal front door I have doesnt have a window in it, so I wanted a peephole. Plus, with all the drilling, I got to annoy the tenant I was evicting while he was cheating on his girlfriend. bye bye Jacob lol, hope she catches/caught youAnyways, yes this was relatively easy to install, and the knocker looks great on the outside. Almost the exact size of my old knocker that was just a knocker, so this covered up the outline of it very well

Your directions say use a 3/16 drill bit for the screws. Your package comes with 2 screws within another 2 screws. Probably a nice concept for installing the knocker but explain how to apply this application . You need a BIGGER drill bit for this procedure. I like the brass knocker. However make the directions on the package to co-inside with the screws.

This knocker is pretty much a clone of the one on my door I needed to replace, one we received as a gift. The assembly has standoffs that serve as posts to push through drill holes in your door. I had hopes this one had the exact form factor so I wouldn't have to redrill holes, but as luck would have it the holes for my old knocker were1/8" farther apart. By simply plugging one of the holes, I was able to drill a new hole just above it to provide a perfect fit for this knocker. The new knocker is beautifully turned out and looks and works great. It feels very solid and I'm sure will last at least as long as the one it replaced, which had gotten corroded from 20 years of weather exposure.

I like the door knocker a lot, but it’s missing some hardware pieces.

This is very pretty and sturdy and we were able to install it using the 4 1/8" apart holes from our previous knocker. It makes a nice solid clunk when you let the half ring fall onto the plate.

je l'ai retourné la lunette était trop petite je la rachèterai si la lunette était de un demi pousse.mon trous dans la porte est de un demi pousse

gift for friend

A perfect replacement to a previous Door knocker that had lost its shine. The holes for the screws were a bit different then the original knocker but new holes and a little wood filler took care of that issue.

Great product

That info is hard to find/Otherwise a fine knocker.
