The original Knobs and Knockers was a very interesting company set up in the nineties as a specialist retail shop for door furniture. It went on to roll out a chain of regional shops all of whom drew their stocks either from a central warehouse or approved supplier list. The operation was based mainly on an excellent manual stock control system and a posh catalogue. The model was successful and profitable and the original promoters sought greater things. The mother company linked itself to a plc, dropped the door furniture and followed a different pathway. This left a few shops owned independently to make their own way in the world, so to speak. Taylor Bros of Liverpool bought the local outlet which had moved from a city centre location to a warehouse in Aintree to sell mail order with an eye on the Internet. After a few years, we merged Knobs & Knockers with our own growing internet hardware and tools business. Today, our combined website offers a formidable range of products - over 70,000 items - on a low cost basis. The website – www.diytools.co.uk – or www.knobsandknockers.co.uk – offers a wide range of door, window and cupboard furniture in ranges from modern to traditional and from popular to posh, with high quality design to the fore and lots more besides!
