The Spira Brass Victorian Plain Square Finger Plate is designed for homeowners and interior designers looking to add authentic period character to solid wood doors while protecting surfaces from daily wear. Its primary benefit is the combination of timeless aesthetic appeal and high-quality solid brass construction, though it is important to note that the polished gold finish requires regular cleaning to maintain its original luster and prevent tarnishing over time.

While the solid brass is durable, the polished finish may degrade faster in harsh outdoor environments. It is best suited for interior doors or protected porches.
This model is 300mm in length, providing ample protection for most standard-sized doors.
It is not recommended for hollow-core doors as there is limited material for the screws to grip, which may cause the plate to loosen over time.
Yes, all essential fixings are included in the package for a professional, flush finish.
No, because the product is made of solid brass, it will not rust like iron or steel. It will, however, develop a natural patina or tarnish over time if not polished.
Fill original holes with wood filler, allow to dry, and re-measure the placement using a level to ensure the plate is perfectly vertical.
Check that the door surface is perfectly flat. If the wood is warped, consider adding a thin felt backing to distribute pressure evenly.
This is often oxidation. Gently clean with a dedicated brass polish and buff with a soft cloth to restore the reflective finish.
Installation is straightforward and requires only a screwdriver and a steady hand. First, ensure the surface of your wooden door is clean and level. Position the plate centrally on the door rail, mark the screw holes with a pencil, and pilot-drill the wood to prevent splitting. Use the provided fixings to secure the plate firmly. For compatibility, ensure your door has enough flat surface area to accommodate the 300mm length of the plate. To care for the polished gold finish, avoid harsh abrasive chemicals. Instead, wipe the surface periodically with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. If minor tarnishing occurs, use a specialized brass polish applied sparingly to a soft cloth, buffing gently to restore the shine.
