Product Information

Full details

The Timco Finger Plate in Gold is designed for homeowners and office managers looking to preserve the condition of high-traffic doors while adding a touch of elegance. Its primary benefit is providing a durable shield against daily wear, grime, and fingerprints, keeping door surfaces looking pristine for years. While it offers excellent protection and a clean aesthetic, note that it requires surface-mounted installation, which means you will have visible screw heads on the plate face.

FAQs

Can this plate be used outdoors?

No, the Timco Finger Plate is strictly designed for internal use. Exposure to outdoor elements may cause the finish to degrade or corrode.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will generally only need a suitable screwdriver and a measuring tape to ensure correct alignment.

Will this plate cover existing scuffs on my door?

Yes, provided the damage is within the footprint of the plate, it will effectively cover and protect the area from further wear.

Is the gold finish prone to tarnishing?

With proper care and by avoiding abrasive cleaners, the finish is designed to remain bright for a long period.

Can this be fitted to any type of internal door?

Yes, it is compatible with most standard internal wooden doors.

Are the fixings hidden?

No, this is a face-fixed product, meaning the screw heads will be visible on the surface of the plate.

Troubleshooting

Plate sits unevenly on the door

Check if the door surface is warped or has debris behind the plate. Remove the plate, clean the area, and ensure the screws are tightened evenly.

Screws are stripping during installation

Ensure you are using the correct size screwdriver and have pre-drilled small pilot holes if the door material is particularly hard wood.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Timco Finger Plate is designed for quick execution. Using the provided fixings, align the plate on the push side of the door, typically vertically centered with the door handle. Ensure the plate is plumb using a spirit level before tightening the screws. Regarding compatibility, this plate is intended for internal doors; avoid using it in outdoor environments where moisture could compromise the gold finish. For ongoing care, simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as these can scratch the gold plating and dull its reflective properties.
