How it works

1. Place your order, then email reference images and notes to hello@yorkshirefoundry.com.

2. We create and share an initial concept for your review.

3. You can request one round of minor refinements.

4. After written approval we cast, finish and prepare your knocker for dispatch.
   All bespoke designs are made compatible with our interchangeable system as standard. If you are looking for something more unusual, please let us know early — in some cases it may not be possible, or it may involve additional cost.

Lead time

Typical lead time is 4 to 8 weeks from design approval to dispatch. We will confirm a projected timeline when we receive your images.

Important notes on fit and finish

• Compatibility with our interchangeable system is built in as standard.

• Requests beyond this (oversized rings, unusual backplates, or complex undercuts) may not be achievable and may require an additional charge.

• Each piece is cast and finished by hand. Small variations in texture and colour are part of the process and should be expected.

• AB2 bronze alloy will naturally deepen in tone over time. You can buff it if you prefer a brighter look.

Returns, cancellations and design policy

• The £100 design contribution is non-refundable once design work begins, even if you decide not to proceed.

• The finished door knocker is made to order and not returnable unless there is a manufacturing fault.

• Further or major redesign work beyond the included minor improvements may incur additional charges which we will quote before proceeding.

• If scope, size or complexity changes after we start, pricing and timelines may be revised by agreement.

Intellectual property and acceptable content

• By ordering you confirm you have the rights to use any images or artwork you supply.

• We reserve the right to decline designs that are inappropriate, offensive or that infringe third party rights or licences.

• The final design may be added to the Yorkshire Foundry collection and shown in our marketing and portfolio. If you prefer discretion, please tell us before we begin.
