Baldwin Estate 0116.003 Imperial Knocker in Lifetime Polished Brass, 8.5" x 4.1"

I went with the Imperial version because it was larger. It looks great on my front door. It's not US made however which was disappointing but It's very heavy and the coating appears up to Baldwin's original standards.

Delivered on time. There were no visible defects on the front face. Nice smooth and shiny surface. I have a solid wooden front door and found that the screws supplied in the box were not long enough to attach the knocker to the door. I had to resort to using the screws from my old knocker, which is the same design as the new one.

We needed to find an exact replacement for the original door knocker installed 30 plus years ago. The measurements were absolutely accurate and exactly as described.

This Baldwin door knocker replaced a 25-year-old Baldwin model with the same dimensions which had become badly tarnished. Its box indicated that the product was made in China, a real shocker. The Lifetime Finish seems to be acceptable, but the casting quality is substandard compared to older model. The screw mounting holes were not flush with the base of the body, and the included screws were about 1/8" too short. Therefore, the writer was forced to polish the old screws and reuse them on the new knocker. The mechanism which holds the knocker to the base isn't engineered as well as the older model; only time will tell if it survives multiple knock-knocks and Buffalo winters. Other casting flaws are immediately visible when comparing the vintage and new models.One hopes that Baldwin isn't also outsourcing its locks to China.
