In "A Christmas Carol," Scrooge kisses the doorknocker as an expression of his joy and newfound appreciation for life after his transformation. It symbolizes his deep connection to the world around him and the love he has for all those he previously neglected. The doorknocker represents a physical embodiment of his change of heart and his desire to spread love and kindness towards others.
The door knocker is the very first thing that Scrooges sees at the end of Stave One that resembles Jacob Marley's face. In those days to have a solid brass door knocker was as strange, because it was a status symbol. They were expensive and showed any visitor to the house that the owners were people of means.
Following his visits from the three spirits, Scrooge now has a much different perspective on his life. He sees everything in a new light, and in his joy finds pleasure in even the simplest things. His house, which was gloomy and forbidding in the beginning of the story, is now a happier place simply because he himself is happy. And when he sees the knocker that was the beginning of his journey of redemption, he can't help but feel some affection for it. After all, this was the knocker that first showed him Jacob Marley's face seven years after his death. And now, he discovers, the knocker without Marley's visage has an "honest expression."
