Sure-Loc DK180 15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What finishes does the Sure-Loc 5 inch door knocker come in?
Two finishes: 11P Vintage Bronze and 15 Satin Nickel. Vintage Bronze suits traditional and stained-wood entries, while Satin Nickel pairs with the brushed nickel handlesets and deadbolts common on newer builds. If you are matching several doors in a rental portfolio, pick one and order all doors from the same finish code so the knockers match the existing lockset trim.
2) I need a knocker for a commercial building entrance - should I use the Sure-Loc 5 inch knocker?
The Sure-Loc 5 inch knocker is classified for residential use, matching single-family and multi-family entry doors rather than commercial door systems. For a commercial-style specification, the Trimco 620 contemporary knocker and the Trimco 621 colonial knocker are the alternates in the same product role, with the 620 also available with optional viewer and engraving.
3) Is the Sure-Loc door knocker rated for commercial entrances or just homes?
It is a residential-grade accessory, built for single-family and multi-family entry doors. For a commercial storefront or an institutional opening where the knocker may also need a viewer or engraved plate, the Trimco 620 contemporary knocker is the one to look at instead, since it offers an optional viewer and engraving.
4) Will a 5 inch knocker look right on a standard residential front door?
Yes. At 5 inches it is a compact knocker sized for proportion on a standard residential entry door, centered on the upper rail or at eye level above any viewer. On a tall or oversized entry with wide stiles, a larger or heavier cast piece like the Emtek 2620 solid brass urn knocker carries the scale better.
5) Is there a smaller knocker than the Sure-Loc 5 inch, or one that doubles as a door pull?
The Emtek 86060 is a 4 inch bronze door knocker with a ring pull, from Emtek's Sandcast Bronze series, so it is both smaller and serves as a pull. The Sure-Loc knocker is sized at 5 inches for proportional scale on standard residential entry doors and is a knocker only. Pick the 86060 for a narrow stile or where a grip is wanted; pick the Sure-Loc 5 inch where you want the larger plate presence on the door face.
6) Can I use this knocker on apartment unit doors in a multi-family building?
It is intended for residential applications including multi-family properties, and being mechanical there is nothing to power or maintain per door. Before standardizing across units, check your building's fire door requirements, because through-bolting hardware onto a rated apartment entry door is governed by that door's listing, not by the knocker.
7) Does the Sure-Loc 5 inch door knocker need wiring like a doorbell?
No. The Sure-Loc 5 inch knocker is fully mechanical with no electronic components, so there is no wiring or power source to run. The comparable knockers in this role are mechanical as well, including the Emtek 2620 solid brass urn style knocker and the Trimco 621 colonial style knocker, so none of them is a substitute for a powered chime if the building requires an electric doorbell.
