Thefts of large centre brass door knobs....

There have been several thefts of these from Norroy Road - am sure we're not the only street targeted, but if anyone gets a photo of the thieves, please let our SNT team know.

The knob nickers were in Chelverton Road recently. Barbara started a thread about it on 15th June.

Very strange thing to pinch and seemed to be brass, mine didn't get taken and was silver. Neighbour's each side of me had their's taken.

Don’t understand how they remove them.  My brass door furniture is fixed from inside of front door.

Looking at the front doors of neighbours you can clearly see from the outside one main screw so all they had to do was twist them round and round.

"Looking at the front doors of neighbours you can clearly see from the outside one main screw so all they had to do was twist them round and round."A second screw then? Nuts and bolts? Superglue?And brass does conduct electricity, of course.--------------------------A review from a website for a brass (?) knocker:-"I brought this product but has to return it because the fixings meant that I would have to drill right through the door. Went to a different outlet and got a self adhesive one instead."Well, there you go. All of £7.25 too!

I'm not sure you can turn ours from the outside as I think it has some spikes that stick into the woodwork to keep it in place but I'd need to disassemble it to be sure of that. I suspect some brute force might lever it off though
