Here are some online resources for nice door knockers.  All three sites also sell kick plates.

• yourdoorknocker.com - This site offers very traditional choices in eight different finishes and many different sizes.  Engraving is also available.

• door-knocker.com - This site carries some very unique designs including a crab, palm tree, pineaple, turtle and light house.  Here’s a great opportunity to express your personality or interests!  This site also sells the style of knocker that is on my own front door - a doctor’s door knocker.  The way that this knocker is designed, it allows you to hang a wreath from the top!  (See item# BA-A-06 for $48.99)

• houseofantiquehardware.com - This site sells very unusual hardware of a historical or vintage nature.  This could be really helpful if your home is a strong reflection of a certain historical period.

Do you have an idea for a front door knocker?  We’d love to hear!
