A home’s entryway can make or break its curb appeal. I was in a home recently that had such unique hardware that it made the whole house very likeable… a fox doorknocker, lions head knobs and other little touches made it totally charming. Seeing this unique hardware got me intrigued about what was available out there – turns out, you can get just about anything as a doorknocker. I think that whale tail will be finding its way to my beach home in the Outer Banks and maybe the koi will take up residence here in Virginia. Here’s some great ones I found:
Michael Healy MH1101 Bumblebee Door Knocker, Brass $125
Twisted Ring Iron Door Knocker – Rust $34
Mayer Mill Brass NCBK-C New Crab Door Knocker, Chrome $93
Signature Hardware Squirrel Door Knocker $60
Michael Healy MH105 Whale Tail Door Knocker $115
Gary Kerby Indian Chief Door Knocker $350
Claddagh Brass Door Knocker $33
