HOW TO REMOVE DOOR KNOCKER WITHOUT DAMAGE TO DOOR!!

Initially I used the back end of some tweezers to lift the bottom of the knocker just enough to get the cable tie under it to pull it.
Eventually the bottom lug pulled out enough to be able to turn the whole knocker and pull it off. I did slightly bend the knocker but I had a new one to fit on.
Hopefully this helps some folk as initially all I could find was videos on how to drill out the lugs!!

But there are no screws visible ? Mine too does not have any visible screws?? Help

If you have the same type of knocker as mine in the video there are no visible screws that's why I got behind the knocker a bit and had to pull it off with a cable tie behind it. The knocker has 2 lugs on the back that go into the holes that are in the backing plate and go through into the door.

Ended up pulling the whole thing out with the screws and lug intact

Why are you wearing gloves?

Pulling hard on cable ties can hurt
