no knock list

The list belongs to the city.

Knockdesk is field sales software for teams that sell in person. A no knock list is a city file of addresses that commercial solicitors must skip. A do not knock registry and a no knock registry are city names for that same kind of list, not one national download. This page names La Vergne, Hendersonville, Lakewood, and Norris. This page is general information, not legal advice.

La Vergne, TN	No Knock registry	Commercial solicitors must not solicit addresses on the registry. A No Solicitation sign at the door covers all solicitors, including non-commercial.
Hendersonville, TN	Do Not Solicit Registry	Solicitors must not knock listed addresses. The registry is live-updating. Door-to-door selling is prohibited before 8 am, after 6 pm in Central Standard Time, and after 7 pm in Daylight Savings Time.
Lakewood, OH	Do-Not-Knock Registry	No solicitors or peddlers, unless invited, shall call at listed addresses, or at a dwelling posted No Peddlers or Solicitors Allowed or similar words. Registration must be renewed each year.

The sign

No soliciting sign laws are local, and they are not the registry

No soliciting sign laws live in city code. They are not a second national list. La Vergne's registry page says a No Solicitation or No Solicitors sign prohibits all door-to-door contact at that residence, while the No Knock registry prohibits commercial solicitation and still allows non-commercial contact. Norris draws the same split with Peddlers or Solicitors Prohibited on the sign. West Point City Code 5.45.180 says a placard no smaller than 16 square inches stating No Soliciting, No Solicitors, No Trespassing, or similar words, posted at the main door or near the sidewalk, is notice, and that it is the solicitor's job to check each residence for that notice.

The registry
A city no knock list you print or open before the shift. La Vergne tells commercial crews to use the monthly registry.
The sign
A posted No Soliciting notice at that house. West Point puts the duty on the solicitor to look for it.
The pin
Mark DNC in Knockdesk so the next turf loop does not treat the porch as Unvisited.

The stall

A paper list in the van is not the pin

The city do not knock registry is only as good as the address that reaches the crew. If the list stays in a glovebox and the turf still shows Unvisited, the next rep knocks the same porch. Knockdesk does not import city files. The walkthrough is how the team pins do-not-contact after they read the city page.

1Open the city registry page for the city you are running, and skip every listed address.
2Watch for a No Soliciting sign at the door, even when the address is not on the registry.
3Clock in with location, then work the turf you were handed.
4If the resident is on the list, posted a sign, or asked to be left alone, Mark DNC on the pin, or complete an outcome that marks the pin as Do Not Contact.
5Log the visit anyway when you are at an eligible door, including Not Home, so Friday is not a chat.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a no knock list?

It is a city registry of addresses that commercial solicitors must skip. There is no one national file. This page is general information, not legal advice.

Is a do not knock registry the same as a no knock registry?

Cities use both names. Lakewood says Do-Not-Knock Registry. La Vergne and Norris say No Knock registry. Hendersonville says Do Not Solicit Registry. Open the city page for the city you run.

Do no soliciting sign laws replace the registry?

No. La Vergne and Norris treat a posted No Soliciting or similar sign as covering all solicitors, while the registry covers commercial solicitation. West Point requires the solicitor to check each residence for a posted notice.

Does Knockdesk import the city list?

No. There is no live sync. Mark DNC on the pin after you read the city page or see the sign, so the next turf loop skips that porch.

What if the house is not on the no knock list?

Still watch for a posted sign. Lakewood tells solicitors not to call a dwelling with No Peddlers or Solicitors Allowed or similar words, even apart from the registry.

How much does Knockdesk cost?

Full desk is on the pricing page. A free trial is not open.
