Pamex DD01-KS6 6" High Solid Brass Door Knocker

Screw holes on the DD01-KS6 are 4 inches center to center, so it lines up only with an existing pair of holes at that same 4 inch spacing. The plate itself measures 3-1/8 x 6 inches overall, which gives you a little material around each hole but not enough to hide holes drilled at a different spread. Measure the old holes center to center before you pull the existing knocker off.

Pamex rates the DD01-KS6 as residential hardware. For a leasing office, clubhouse, or any door taking commercial traffic, look at a commercial-line knocker instead, such as the Trimco 620 or 621 Series. For apartment unit doors and single family entries the DD01-KS6 is the right class of product.

The DD01-KS6 is a knocker only, no viewer in it. If you need both in one plate on the same door, the Trimco 620 Series contemporary knocker is offered with an optional viewer, which saves you boring a second hole in the door for a standalone peephole.

The Emtek 2620 is a solid brass door knocker in an urn style, so it holds the same brass construction as the Pamex DD01-KS6 while carrying a different decorative shape. The Pamex DD01-KS6 measures 3-1/8 inches by 6 inches overall with 4 inch center-to-center screw holes and a 3/4 inch projection, so a door already drilled for it will need its hole pattern checked against the Emtek before reuse of the existing prep.

The Trimco 620 is a contemporary style door knocker offered with an optional viewer, which combines the knocker and the peephole in one prep. The Pamex DD01-KS6 is a knocker only, a solid brass unit 3-1/8 inches by 6 inches with 4 inch center-to-center screw holes. For a multi-family door where the resident needs to identify a caller before opening, the combined Trimco 620 covers both functions in a single mounting.

They are both door knockers but they are not interchangeable. The Emtek 86060 is a sandcast bronze knocker, 4 inch, with a ring pull, while the Pamex DD01-KS6 is solid brass with an overall size of 3-1/8 inches by 6 inches and a 3/4 inch projection. The ring pull on the Emtek gives a different action and a different look on the door, and the 4 inch size against the 6 inch height of the Pamex means the two will not cover the same footprint on a repaint or a swap.

It occupies a 3-1/8 by 6 inch footprint on the face of the door. On a narrow stile door, or centered on the top rail above a glass panel, check that 3-1/8 inch width against the flat area you have before drilling the two holes at 4 inch centers.

Three finishes, all standard BHMA numbers so they cross-reference against lockset and handleset finishes directly: 605 bright brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, and 619 satin nickel. If the entry lockset on the door already carries one of those numbers, the knocker matches it.

The DD01-KS6 is a plate-and-striker knocker, 3-1/8 x 6 inches, mounted on two screws at 4 inch centers. A ring pull type such as the Emtek 86060, a 4 inch sandcast bronze knocker with ring pull, hangs a swinging ring instead and reads as a smaller, heavier cast piece. Choose on the look and on the footprint you need to cover, since the two sit differently on the door face.

The Trimco 621 is a colonial style door knocker, cut for period entries where the Pamex DD01-KS6 reads as a plainer solid brass plate at 3-1/8 inches by 6 inches. The Pamex DD01-KS6 comes in 605 bright brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, and 619 satin nickel, so if the entry needs colonial detailing rather than one of those three finishes on a rectangular body, the Trimco 621 is the style match.

The Pamex DD01-KS6 is a residential solid brass knocker in a single 3-1/8 inch by 6 inch size, offered in 605 bright brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, and 619 satin nickel, so one part number covers three finish schemes across a portfolio. Among the alternatives, the Trimco 620 is a contemporary body with optional viewer and engraving, which suits buildings that want unit numbers or names on the plate, and the Trimco 621 is the colonial body. Standardizing on the Pamex means one size and one style everywhere; standardizing on the Trimco 620 lets each door carry its own engraving.

The Pamex DD01-KS6 mounts on 4 inch center-to-center screw holes with a 3/4 inch projection. The Emtek 2620 urn style and the Emtek 86060 sandcast bronze 4 inch with ring pull are different bodies, so their mounting centers should be confirmed against the 4 inch spacing before the door is committed. If the prep has to be reused as-is, staying with the Pamex DD01-KS6 keeps the existing 4 inch pattern.

No engraving option is offered on the DD01-KS6. If you are standardizing doors across a building and want unit numbers on the plate, the Trimco 620 Series knocker is offered with engraving.
