Finger Plate Questions
What is a finger plate?
A finger plate, also called a push plate, is a flat plate fixed to the push side of a door, just above the handle. It protects the paint and timber from finger marks and wear where people push the door open.
Which size finger plate do I need?
A 305mm (12 inch) plate suits most internal doors. Choose a 350mm or 500mm plate for tall or busy doors, or the 282mm plate where the door stile is narrow. Most Heritage Brass metal finger plates are 76mm wide.
Do finger plates go with pull handles or knobs?
Both. On push and pull doors, fit the finger plate on the push side and a pull handle on the other. On traditional panel doors, fit the finger plate just above the mortice knob. Use the same finish for an exact match.
Do you sell porcelain finger plates?
Yes. Heritage Brass porcelain finger plates come in plain white, gold line, white crackle and cream crackle, to match the porcelain mortice knobs and escutcheons in the same pattern.
How are finger plates fitted?
Heritage Brass finger plates have pre-drilled holes and come with matching screws. Fix the plate on the push side of the door, centred on the stile, just above the handle or knob.
For the back of the door, add a matching Heritage Brass coat hook or a robe hook for the bathroom, in the same finish as your finger plates. For cupboards and internal doors, see matching small door bolts and the full range of Heritage Brass door bolts.

Size, handle, finish and style
How to Choose a Finger Plate
1. Pick the size: a 305mm flat finger plate suits most internal doors. Choose 350mm or 500mm for tall or busy doors, or the 282mm plate for narrow stiles.
2. Match the handle: on push and pull doors, fit the finger plate above a door pull handle. On traditional panel doors, fit it above mortice knobs.
3. Choose the finish: brass finger plates in polished, satin or antique brass are the classic choice, or choose chrome, satin nickel, matt bronze or matt black to match modern handles.
4. Period homes: porcelain finger plates match the porcelain knobs and escutcheons in plain white, gold line, white crackle and cream crackle.
