Consider a door knocker for a quick upgrade to your front door. Depending on how you like visitors to announce themselves, you might want to consider a door knocker for the handsome authority it brings to a door.
Most door knockers are die cast and brass plated in traditional styling with a finish that will keep them from tarnishing. There are also some very attractive, solid brass, hand cast versions with nature themes as well.
Prices for door knockers range from as little as $10 for a flea market find to $250 for a unique casting. Home center versions of door knockers typically run from $5 up to $20.
