Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the desired placement on the door, typically on the side that is pushed open.
- Align the finger plate with the pre-drilled holes to ensure it is straight and level.
- Use the provided matching fixing screws to secure the plate to the door. A screwdriver is typically required. Ensure screws are tightened firmly but avoid over-tightening, which could damage the door surface or the plate.
Compatibility:
This finger plate is designed for use on most standard interior and exterior doors. It is particularly well-suited for wooden doors where its antique aesthetic will be most impactful. Ensure the door material can support the weight of the cast iron plate.
Care:
To maintain the polished brass finish, regularly dust with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishing compounds that could damage the finish or intricate detailing. For stubborn marks, a mild, non-abrasive brass cleaner can be used sparingly, following the product instructions carefully.
