It is a mechanical device used to make a noise on the door, usually by striking a metal plate or a ring that is attached to a door or a gate. The purpose of a door knocker is to serve as a way for visitors to announce their presence and request entry to a building.

Door knockers can also be used to indicate the social status or the style of the house, it can be a simple ring or an ornate and decorative piece.

In ancient Rome, door knockers were used to alert the household of a visitor's arrival, and they were often made of iron or bronze and decorated with intricate designs. In medieval Europe, door knockers were used to indicate a household's social status, with more ornate and decorative designs being used by the wealthy. During the Victorian era, door knockers were used to add a decorative touch to homes and were often designed in the shape of lions' heads, urns, or other decorative figures.
