About Us

Why we make door knockers

Our mission at Yorkshire Foundry is to create beautifully designed door knockers and handles that enhance the overall aesthetic of your home for decades to come. We understand that the front door of a home is symbolic, and it is the first thing guests see when they visit. That's why we believe that door knockers and handles should reflect the homeowner's personality and make a lasting impression. Our door knockers and handles are made in small batches to ensure minimal waste and maximum quality. Each piece is designed by our team in York, UK, before being cast 20 miles away by a family-run foundry on the edge of the North York Moors.

    Ben

Ben is the engineering director at Yorkshire Foundry, where he manages the design and manufacturing of the company's unique and high-quality door knockers and cupboard handles.

With a passion for creating beautiful and functional products, Ben came up with the concept of an interchangeable door knocker system in July 2021, which sparked a wave of creativity and led to the development of the company's innovative wreath holder and multiple design options for door knockers and handles.

Ben works closely with the team at the family-run foundry, located on the edge of the North York Moors, to ensure that each piece is of the highest quality.
