Door knockers and mounting supplies

The house was raised! The pool was installed! The furniture placed! Even the landscape was finished! As we stood looking at our beautiful dream home I couldn’t help but feeling that something was missing. That night, as I flipped through old photo albums the memories of my childhood came flooding back! At a picture of the house that I grew up in I reminisced about running up the pathway and remembered one day, when I was about 12 years old when the front door was uncharacteristically locked. I remembered feeling alien as I rapped the knocker as hard as I could. Just before panic sank in my mother opened the door. She smiled as she looked in my scared eyes and hugged me tightly as I walked past her into the familiar smells and surroundings of our living room.
The next morning I saw my husband off to work and as I turned to look at the house my eyes immediately went to the middle of the front door --- I knew then what was missing, a door knocker! That day I spent several hours shopping for the best door knocker for our new home. I wanted a door knocker that was prominent enough to be noticed and used!
