Interesting knockers

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 love this. This is what first came to my mind. We have an almost 200 year old door with a knocker otherwise I would be buying the bee!

Has anyone ever come across a culinary themed door knocker? Like the cutlery set on the door on Great British Menu. Have looked but can’t find; it must have been specially made. Would love to get my chef husband a similar one!

For everyone smiling at the title, 🤗
There used to be a chain of ironmongery suppliers in the UK called Knobs and Knockers.

Can't find any now, apart from ROI

Such a funny retail name, I've never forgotten it in Dublin.

This is UK based, Kent I think. oyster knocker.

Pinterest is good for this, but then might be harder to find where to buy it but still good inspiration https://uk.pinterest.com/devined/door-knockers/

There are some very rude door knockers about, they would certainly have callers giggling at the door, eg make appendages, no prizes for guessing what forms the knocker!

FlutteryButterfly · 25/09/2024 21:35

You need something like a lifebouy or anchor one!

A mermaid. That way you would have a knocker with knockers. Wink

Brilliant! 👏

Am I the only one sniggering at the title here?

Nope, it's why I clicked on the thread 😄

Honeypickle · 26/09/2024 10:45

Thank you @bettytaghetti ! Hilarious!

AmusableDragon · 26/09/2024 11:13

Ignore the fact our front door needs repainting! But this is our knocker 😁 Causes much comment from visitors and passers-by. Also a good identifier for delivery drivers!

Where is the Simon Groom Blue Peter clip that I saw a few days ago?

OpalGoose · 03/10/2024 22:44

It's at the bottom of page 1 of the thread on my feed.

Just back from Malta - get yourself to Valletta OP, it's knocker heaven! Huge brass dolphins, fish, tritons, lion heads, owls.... you name it, it was probably on a door somewhere!
