Brass, antique or patina, iron, bronze, and porcelain are just a sampling of some of the most popular materials used to fashion front door knockers. When choosing one, you should make sure that it stands out, looks great, and compliments not only your door but also any other outside furniture or décor that you have.

Most are heavily weighted by being cast in solid metal. This ensures that when your visitors knock on the door, the sound will be easily heard while you are inside of the house. However, they must also be crafted in a manner that it will not become damaged or chipped due to repetitive use. A material that is often used due to its ability to withstand heavy use is solid bronze. Bronze may also be colored or given a patina finish to ensure that it is vibrant and bright. Patina is an excellent method used to ensure that they look great and will withstand the elements of nature. Other knockers may be polished to a high shine, or left with a faux antique finish that adds to their allure.
