Deltana DKC7U10B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Deltana DKC7 knocker suitable for a commercial entrance or apartment building corridor doors?
Deltana rates the DKC7 as residential exterior hardware, not commercial. For a single-family home, townhouse, or a residential unit entry door it's the right class of part. On a high-traffic commercial entrance, look at a commercial-line knocker such as the Trimco 620 or Trimco 621 instead.
2) Is there a smaller door knocker than the Deltana DKC7 for a narrow stile or a smaller door face?
The Deltana DKC7 measures 7 inches, so on a narrow stile or a small door face it can crowd the available flat area. Shorter options include the Sure-Loc 5 inch door knocker for residential doors and the Emtek 86060 bronze door knocker at 4 inches with a ring pull. Measure the unobstructed flat width and height of the door face before choosing.
3) I need a door knocker with a peephole built in - can I use the Deltana DKC7?
No. The Deltana DKC7 is a knocker only, with no viewer. If you want the knock and the viewer in one plate, the Trimco 620 contemporary style door knocker is offered with an optional viewer, and also with optional engraving. Choosing the DKC7 means a separate door viewer bored elsewhere in the door.
4) What is a solid brass alternative to the Deltana DKC7 door knocker in a different decorative style?
The Deltana DKC7 is a 7 inch Victorian-style knocker in solid brass. If you want solid brass but a different look, the Emtek 2620 is a solid brass door knocker in an urn style. Both are brass knockers for residential entry doors; the difference is the decorative profile, Victorian versus urn.
5) Will a solid brass door knocker hold up outdoors?
Brass is the standard material for exterior door knockers because it doesn't rust, and the DKC7 is solid brass through the substrate rather than plated over a base metal. Under a dark bronze or oil rubbed bronze finish, expect the high points to wear brighter over time with handling, which is normal for those finishes and part of the look.
6) What other solid brass door knocker styles could I use instead of the Deltana Victorian one?
If the Victorian profile is wrong for the house, the Emtek 2620 is a solid brass knocker in an urn style, the Trimco 621 is Colonial, and the Trimco 620 is contemporary. For a rustic or craftsman entry, the Emtek 86060 is a sandcast bronze knocker with a ring pull rather than a hinged striker.
7) What is the closest traditional-style substitute for the Deltana DKC7 if I do not want the Victorian pattern?
For a traditional look other than Victorian, the Trimco 621 is a Colonial style door knocker, and the Trimco 620 is the contemporary style in the same family. The Deltana DKC7 differs in that it is a 7 inch solid brass Victorian pattern offered in Oil Rubbed Bronze and Dark Bronze.
8) Is the Emtek 86060 the same thing as the Deltana DKC7?
No, they are not interchangeable. The Deltana DKC7 is a 7 inch solid brass Victorian knocker. The Emtek 86060 is a 4 inch sandcast bronze knocker that includes a ring pull, so it is both a shorter part and a different material and casting character. Mounting hole spacing will not carry over if you are replacing one with the other.
9) I am standardizing knockers across a set of rental units and want unit numbers on the plate - which knocker should I specify?
The Deltana DKC7 is a plain 7 inch Victorian solid brass knocker with no numbering option. For unit identification on the knocker itself, the Trimco 620 contemporary style knocker is offered with optional engraving. If the Victorian look matters more than the engraving, specify the DKC7 and apply separate numerals.
10) I'm re-keying and refinishing a set of rental entries. Can I order the same knocker on every door?
Yes, the DKC7 is a single model in one 7 inch size, so ordering it across a group of entry doors gives you matching hardware door to door. Choose one finish, Oil Rubbed Bronze or Dark Bronze, and stay with it across the fleet, since the two won't blend if mixed on adjacent units.
