A witty, well-made welcome (or warning) for your front door.

Door signs sit at the intersection of function and personality; this one leans hard into both, with humour and actual metallurgical substance.
What we looked at
- 01Materials & Build Aluminium with hand-polished brass fixings; fully lacquered for weather resistance
Sand-moulded in-house means each plaque has a texture and weight that plastic or resin simply can't match. The lacquer coating means you're not babying it—it'll hold up outdoors without needing maintenance.
- 02Size & Fit 18.5cm (7¼") by 4.5cm (1⅞")
Compact enough to mount on most doors or narrow wall spaces without dominating the entryway. Horizontal format reads naturally at eye level.
- 03Humour & Design Art Deco styling with a cheeky tone
Walks the line between genuine warning and self-aware joke—appealing whether your dog is a guard dog or a couch potato. The vintage aesthetic works whether your aesthetic is retro or just authentically eclectic.
