as my front door is my private property i wonder would it be legal to have a sign saying who is not permitted to touch my door. ?

edit: its not a racial or religious issue, i'm plagued by kids literally begging, "here mr wanna buy a dvd a lighter" or kids with hand written sponsorship forms or somebody trying to have a look inside, possible thieves. that sort of thing

As long as it's not electrified - a No Hawkers sign should be legal. Try putting your door bell push 190cm from the ground. Only answer the door when people ring the bell - and not when they knock. Kids who can't reach the bell push will get fed up and stop bothering you. Try a sign on your door knocker saying danger 230 Volts if that doesn't work. Connect it to 230Volts... no better not - need to know what you're doing if you're going to electrocute kids.

Well it's true that your door is owned by you, but it's there to protect your property inside. You put it there to stop the intruder but you can't stop a person to knock it... I think. If the person outside is not damaging your door then you can't do anything, since you are exposing your property (your door) by your wish to the outside world (out from your house).

It would be better to be fairly general i.e. No salespeople, no religion etc rather than naming people or companies or specific religions etc. Even if it is private property you could come unstuck legally if you went too far.

It's legal.... but not necessarily binding.
Why, what would you do if a non-approved person touched your door?
Technically they have already broken the law by trespassing if they are on your property against your will... whether they touch your door or not.

of course, just write a note and say to people like , religious orders, door cangassers etc, do not knock on my door or else you will be offended by our remarks, perfectly legal

Is it person or a group you don't want to touch your door.?
Does it have a racial or prejudice connotation ?
Then it may not be legel,ask a police officer.

You can put a sign up but would it not encourage people that you don't want to, to touch your door even more.

Yes as long as you do not discriminate racially sexuallyor religiously.

sure, I see no reason you can't hang such a sign on your door, for example "No Mormons or other door to door religion types" and "No soliciting, including no pretend environmentalists, no pretend college kids selling magazines, and no scouts or school kids selling me overpriced stuff I don't want anyway!"...sounds like a fine idea

In certain circumstances people could ignore your sign. For instance.......Any warrant to a bailiff to give possession of a tenement justifies him in entering upon the premises named in the warrant, and giving possession, provided the entry be made between the hours of 9 A.M. and 4 P.M..............But you could still have the sign up............
