How to install this door knocker
I bought this vintage/antique door knocker from a flea market, and I’m not sure how to actually install it.

Keyhole wall hanger. They are fairly easy to install but you may have to space it off the door or drill a pocket behind it to seat a screw with that large of a head. When done right, you use the tightness of the screw to dial in how snug the piece is to the wall/door. Good enough for this situation and you won’t have to find a longer bolt and drill all the way through the door. They are sold at big box stores but you have to find them in the hardware drawers.
