This Top Knobs Modern Avalon door knocker is the widest piece in the knocker range, a broad brass fitting designed for entry doors where the hardware is meant to be noticed. Part of the Modern Avalon series, it pairs with companion house numbers and doorbells for a coordinated entry look.
Across the knocker range, length barely shifts while width ranges from just over two inches to this piece at 7-1/4 inches. That is more than a threefold spread, and at the wide end the knocker reads as a horizontal plate on the door rather than a vertical accent. On a wide panel door or a statement entry with substantial clearance on either side of a viewer or lock, that horizontal mass is exactly the right proportion. On a narrower door or one divided by glazing, the narrower forms in this series will sit better.
At 1-1/2 inches, this knocker stands off the door face more than any other in the range. That depth contributes to its visual weight and the feel of a substantial fitting. It is also the dimension to check before ordering if a storm door or screen door is hung outside the entry door: the gap between the two doors needs to clear the full 1-1/2 inch projection without the storm door contacting the knocker when it closes. Measure that clearance first.
This knocker is the right choice for a wide, uninterrupted entry door panel where a bold horizontal form reads well. It fits naturally into a hardware program running warm bronze tones, and because the Modern Avalon series extends to house numbers and doorbells, the whole entry surround can coordinate under one series. Confirm the mounting arrangement for your specific door construction before installing.
At 7-1/4 inches wide it is the broadest available, more than three times the width of the narrowest knocker in this lineup. The 6 inch length is the same as other wide-form knockers in the range.
It projects 1-1/2 inches from the door face. If a storm door or screen door hangs outside your entry door, measure the clearance between the two doors and confirm it exceeds that figure before ordering.
The Modern Avalon series includes house numbers and doorbells in the Top Knobs range, so a full entry surround can be pulled together under one series.
The base material is brass. That distinguishes it from the zinc alloy construction common across most decorative hardware in this catalog.
When the door has the face area to carry a wide, deep-projecting fitting, this Modern Avalon knocker delivers the proportions and the brass construction to match.
