Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Baldwin Door Knockers
Q: What makes Baldwin door knockers durable for exterior use?
A: Baldwin door knockers are built for the outdoors using high-quality materials like solid forged brass, which inherently resists corrosion. Additionally, they feature Baldwin's advanced, multi-layered finishes, many of which are designed as Lifetime Finishes™ to withstand UV exposure, humidity, and temperature fluctuations without tarnishing or fading.
Q: Are Baldwin door knockers always made of solid brass?
A: Many of Baldwin's premium door knockers, especially in their Estate and Reserve lines, are indeed crafted from solid forged brass, contributing to their substantial feel and durability. Always check individual product specifications for exact material details.
Q: How do I install a Baldwin door knocker?
A: Baldwin door knockers are generally designed for surface mount installation. They typically come with all necessary mounting hardware. Installation usually involves marking the drill points, drilling pilot holes, and then securing the knocker to the door. Detailed instructions are provided with each product.
Q: How do I choose the right size door knocker for my door?
A: The right size door knocker is one that is proportionate to your door and entryway. For standard single doors, knockers typically range from 6 to 10 inches in height. For larger or double doors, a larger knocker (10 inches or more) can create a more balanced look. Consider the overall scale of your entry and other hardware.
Q: How should I maintain my Baldwin door knocker for outdoor exposure?
A: To maintain the beauty of your Baldwin door knocker, simply wipe it clean periodically with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or ammonia-based products, as these can damage the finish. Dry immediately after cleaning.
Q: Do Baldwin door knockers come with a peephole/viewer?
A: Baldwin door knockers are primarily decorative and functional pieces for announcing guests. They typically do not include an integrated peephole/viewer. If you require a viewer, it would be a separate accessory, which can be coordinated in style and finish with your knocker and other door hardware.
