Troubleshooting
Plate is not flush with the door surface
Ensure the door surface is flat. Check that screws are tightened evenly. If the door surface is uneven, consider using a spacer if suitable for your application, though this product is designed for flat surfaces.
Screws do not seem to grip properly
If drilling into wood, ensure pilot holes are appropriately sized for the screws. If drilling into a harder material, ensure the pilot hole is adequately deep and sized. For very thin doors, ensure the screws are not too long.
Acrylic appears scratched after cleaning
Only use soft cloths and mild cleaning agents. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a specialized acrylic polish, but prevention is key.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine the desired placement for the finger plate on your door, typically at hand height.
- Using a pencil, mark the locations of the four mounting holes.
- If necessary, drill pilot holes at the marked locations using a drill bit suitable for your door material.
- Align the finger plate with the pilot holes or desired position.
- Secure the plate to the door using the provided screws. Ensure screws are tightened firmly but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the acrylic or the door.

This finger plate is designed to be compatible with most standard interior doors made of wood, composite, or metal. Its dimensions (295mm x 75mm) are suitable for a wide range of door sizes. It is intended for indoor use.
Care:
To maintain the appearance and integrity of the acrylic finger plate:
- Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and water. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or scouring pads, as these can scratch or damage the acrylic surface.
