How Nifty Knockers Works

Transform your door into a statement piece with Nifty Knockers—the patented, solid brass door knocker system that lets you swap styles as easily as accessories. It’s curb appeal with a twist.

Step 1: Install the Home Base

Mount our beautifully crafted brass Home Base to your door—just like a traditional knocker, but built for versatility.

Step 2: Pick Your Knock

Choose a Knocker Top that suits your vibe—seasonal, symbolic, or just plain bold. From sleek to cheeky, the options keep getting better with every season.

Step 3: Slide It In


Slide your chosen Knocker Top onto the Home Base. It locks into place with a satisfying glide—no wobble, no guesswork.

Step 4: Secure the Style

Tighten the hidden set screw for a secure, weather-resistant fit that’s built to last. Your statement stays put, rain or shine.

Step 5: Switch it Up Anytime

Ready for a refresh? Loosen the screw, slide off the top, and swap in something new. No hassle, just instant transformation.

Care & Maintenance for Polyurethane-Finished Brass

Your brass piece has been sealed with a durable baked polyurethane finish to protect against tarnish, fingerprints, and everyday wear. With proper care, the finish will stay beautiful for years.

General Care:

  • Dust Regularly: Wipe with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and dirt.

  • Mild Cleaning: For fingerprints or smudges, use a damp cloth with warm water and a drop of mild soap. Immediately dry with a clean, soft cloth.

  • No Harsh Chemicals: Avoid ammonia, bleach, vinegar, or solvent-based cleaners—they will cloud or damage the polyurethane coating.

  • Avoid Abrasives: Do not use metal polishes, scouring pads, or abrasive sponges. The finish is protective, and polishing agents are not needed.

  • Occasional gentle buffing with a microfiber cloth restores shinewithout risk.

Outdoor Use:

  • Polyurethane offers excellent durability but will naturally weather if exposed to direct sun, salt air, or heavy moisture.

  • Wipe periodically to remove moisture and debris.

  • Over time, some softening of the finish may occur in high-traffic or exposed areas—this is normal and part of the aging process.

Long-Term Maintenance

  • Do Not Polish: The brass beneath is sealed, so polishing past the protective finish will compromise it.

  • If the finish is ever scratched or worn, the brass may be refinished by a professional to restore its protective coat.

✨ Tip: The best way to keep lacquered brass looking new is gentle cleaning and prevention. Treat it like jewelry—polish softly, never scrub.
