You don't need to lift your hand to knock a door, amirite?

You can gather more momentum for a good knock by raising your hand though.

Exactly, it's easier to do it with the whole arm rather than just with forearm muscles

You knock with your whole arm? I knock normally, but I still only use my forearm

Also, consider what it would look like to knock with an unraised hand...

nah, you just need to stand with your back to the door and you'll have all the leverage you need.

Well, this is life changing. And I wanna know: who started the high knocking and why did it take off?

It was a lot more common in the past for people to have metal "door knockers" mounted on their doors at about eye level. You had to lift your hand up to use it.

I wish we still had door knockers. It hurts my knuckles to knock.

It's been a long time since power windows in cars became the norm. But the gesture of cranking the window still indicates the person you want to talk to should open their window.

I would think the metal door knockers were at eye level BECAUSE people used to knock at that spot. I assume people were knocking before metal door knockers were used. And if everyone was knocking low previously then door knockers would have been installed lower

That's how drug dealers knock on doors. I think. Actually, i don't know if that's true. I want a lawyer.

They meant knocking at the height your arm\hand naturally hangs, not using your head lol

Low knock. Keep your hand low and knock on the door that way.

Actually it's easier to knock with your feet if we're being honest, plus you can use your hands to hold more items

Just kick the door open.

Knocking at ear level surely has some benefit in perceptability.

High hand knocking seems like something that a nose in the air English snob came up with to appear elegant and sophisticated. Smh

You don't need hands to knock on a door.

You need to, if you want to use your triceps and biceps. Otherwise you need to use the muscles of your shoulder, which act of a longer lever and are less powerful.

by Piperhand 1 week ago

Well you don't even have to use your hand. You can just walk and slam yourself into the door. I think that would do.

Feels weird knocking at crotch height.

by These-Area 1 week ago

If you don't lift your hand. It turns into punching the door.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

Exactly, just use your head.

by Weird_Economics 1 week ago

That's totally correct OP. You can use your forehead to knock.
