Interesting knockers

[Gigiopk]

Hello, I’m thinking of getting a door knocker, looking for some inspiration. We’re near the sea so I’m thinking maybe a nautical one! Have you got an interesting one, does it link to a theme of your town or street or house? Might be outing maybe people can make change just for this? Would love some ideas.

I like 'ship' door knockers and have seen a few dolphins too locally, easily found online!
I have a boring door knocker but if I ever change it I will get this lovely chameleon!

Am I the only one sniggering at the title here?

no 😏

It's got to be a brass monkey.
I'd love a brass monkey door knocker.

Haha oh no, wasn’t supposed to be rude 😆

I specifically came onto this thread to say that I have very interesting knockers...

Not sure that me bouncing them off your front door would summon you to my presence however.

There are some beautiful ones on here: www.gipsyhillhardware.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorNRzXBM0Z3Dw2HUan77Rui-6FnIxywKNTKFvAHhJpBYW7Zbdv4

I have one similar to this:

😂

Nope! It must win a prize for best title of the day/week/year, surely? EDIT -- I'm now searching the internet looking at interesting knockers... thanks @Gigiopk

I quite fancy a lobster one but there are few here to choose from: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=Michael+Healy+Scallop+Door+Knocker+-+Brass+%28Standard+Size%29&linkCode=gg3&linkId=fedcd2547cffea32747e0666c968e748&tag=deskdeck-20&ref=as_li_ss_tl

I have a dragonfly one. I love it.

Haha I put in beautiful knockers earlier

Oh I love the look of dragonfly! We get a lot of dragonflies maybe that would be a nice one to have!

We have a big brass pineapple. But DH's parents almost wet themselves laughing when we told them, because apparently a pineapple on the door means you're swingers.

My DH is from Cornwall - so we have a piskie door knocker. We left UK though - now living overseas with our piskie.

I had a pinecone which I loved, then we got a composite door so had to take it off. When we've moved it's going onto the new door!

My dd bought us one like this in nickel for our silver wedding anniversary.
On a walk during covid I saw a beautiful grandfather clock door knocker. There are so many about, the difficult bit is choosing just one!

I remember this 😂
