The History of Door Knockers ~ while there is very
little documentation about the early history of door knockers, it is
documented that door knockers have been used for more than two thousand
years with early examples hailing from Ancient Macedonia around 400BC.
During that time period, door knockers only graced the doors of the more
elite members of society.
Early door knockers would have likely been
crafted from hand beaten iron.
