How do door knockers work?
1 Answer
Door knockers work because of their hinged design. After you mount the back plate onto a door, the striker portion hangs from the frame on the hinge, allowing you to raise it up and strike it against the backing. On 1stDibs, find a range of antique and vintage door knockers.
