FAQs
What are the dimensions of the plate?
The finger plate measures 300mm in length and 75mm in width.
Can I install this on a glass door?
This plate is designed primarily for wood or composite doors; mounting on glass may require specialized adhesive and is generally not recommended.
Does this come with screws?
Please check your specific package contents, as hardware inclusion may vary by retailer.
Is the finish weather-resistant?
The plate is designed for interior use; outdoor exposure may lead to discoloration or oxidation over time.
Can it be painted?
While technically possible, painting the plate is not recommended as the finish is designed for durability and aesthetic appeal in its original state.
How do I remove the plate if I move?
If screwed, unscrew carefully. If adhered with tape, use a plastic scraper or a hairdryer to warm the adhesive before gently prying it off.
Troubleshooting
Plate is not sitting flush against the door
Check for obstructions under the plate and ensure the door surface is perfectly flat. If using screws, check if they are overtightened.
Plate is moving or rattling
Tighten the screws or, if using adhesive, remove the plate, clean the residue, and apply a fresh, high-strength mounting tape.
Surface of the plate is showing water spots
Clean the plate with a specialized metal polish or a mixture of mild soap and warm water, then buff dry with a microfiber cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure the door surface is clean, dry, and free of debris. If using screws, pre-drill small pilot holes to prevent splitting the door material. If using adhesive, ensure the backing is high-quality to withstand temperature changes. To maintain the plate, simply wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth and a mild non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or steel wool, as these can strip the silver finish and lead to premature tarnishing.
