“No Soliciting” signs are more of a polite request than a legally binding directive. In residential areas, they primarily serve as a deterrent to unwanted visitors like salespeople and canvassers. While ignoring these signs can sometimes lead to trespassing charges, this depends on local laws and enforcement. The signs carry a bit more weight in commercial settings, and ignoring them can be grounds for a trespassing complaint. However, certain groups, such as political canvassers and religious organizations, might still be allowed to knock due to free speech protections. Always check your local ordinances for specific regulations.

About the Author: Jason Howie
The idea for KnockBlockers came from a real-life dilemma: those relentless door-to-door solicitors who seem to have a knack for ringing the bell right when the baby is finally asleep. And let’s not forget the dogs, who go into a barking frenzy every time someone approaches the door. The constant worry of waking the baby and the chaos that ensues inspired Jason to create KnockBlockers.
