Door knockers have a long history and have been used in various cultures throughout the centuries. The exact origins of door knockers are challenging to trace, but they are believed to date back to ancient civilizations. Here's a brief overview of the history of door knockers: 1) Ancient Greece and Rome: The use of door knockers can be traced back to ancient Greece and Rome.
