There are a couple things to consider when buying a door knocker, and size is one of them.  Buying a door knocker that is too small for your door will end up looking silly in relation to the size of the door.  Lion door knockers come in a vast array of sizes, so be sure to  take into consideration architectural details of the door and find an appropriate knocker that will fit with your existing elements.
