What is a finger plate (push plate) used for?

A finger plate (also called a push plate) protects the face of a door from fingerprints, scuffs, and wear caused by frequent pushing and handling. It also adds a neat, professional finish.

Where are Frelan finger plates commonly installed?

They are commonly used on internal doors in offices, apartments, schools, hospitality settings, and other high-traffic areas where doors are frequently pushed open.

Are finger plates suitable for both residential and commercial doors?

Yes. Finger plates are popular for homes and commercial buildings because they improve durability, reduce door damage, and help keep door surfaces looking cleaner for longer.

How do I choose the right size finger plate?

Choose a size that covers the area where the door is typically pushed. For higher-traffic doors, a larger plate can provide better protection and reduce visible wear over time.

Can I match a finger plate finish to my existing door hardware?

Yes. Many finger plates are available in popular finishes to coordinate with handles, hinges, and other ironmongery, helping maintain a consistent look across the door set.
