FAQs
Is this plate suitable for outdoor use?
These plates are primarily designed for internal door protection. Outdoor use may lead to premature degradation due to environmental exposure.
Can I use adhesive instead of the provided screws?
While screws are recommended for the most secure fit, some users opt for high-strength double-sided mounting tape, though this is not the manufacturer's suggested installation method.
What is the thickness of the plate?
The plate is manufactured from 3mm thick acrylic, providing a balance between durability and a low-profile aesthetic.
Are the screws included in the pack?
Yes, each Focus Plastics Door Finger Plate comes supplied with the necessary screws for installation.
Can the plate be cut to a different size?
Acrylic can be cut, but doing so carries a risk of cracking the material. It is recommended to choose a size that fits your door without needing modifications.
How do I clean the finger plate without damaging the finish?
Use a soft microfiber cloth and lukewarm soapy water. Do not use bleach or solvent-based cleaners.
Troubleshooting
The plate feels loose after installation
Ensure the pilot holes were not drilled too wide and that the screws are fully tightened into the door substrate.
The acrylic surface has minor light scratches
Use a specialized plastic polish or a very fine buffing compound to gently restore the surface clarity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward but requires a screwdriver and a drill for pilot holes. First, position the plate at the desired height on the door edge, ensuring it is level. Mark the screw hole locations, drill small pilot holes to prevent splitting the door material, and secure the plate using the included screws. To maintain the acrylic, simply wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could scratch the finish or cause the acrylic to cloud.
