We have heaps of gorgeous and decorative door plates in our range, that are usually called fingerplates. Many of them were made, are were most frequently used, back in the days when soap was a bit more a luxury than it is today, and less of a necessity! I know a few people who’d like to bring back these glory days, actually.

The point is though, that fingerplates are not generally used anymore. However, especially on interior doors, a lot of people kick their doors open. When you are carrying a screaming child to their bath… when you have a huge basket of washing in your hands … when you have been greasing your motorbike and you know you’d be shot for spreading it all over doorhandles (!). Kicking a door open is a common thing, inside your house. So, why not just transport your fingerplates down, and use them as kick plates?! They will screw in exactly the same as they would above the door handle, to be used as a fingerplate.

To decide exactly where to position your kick plates, just look at the pre made marks on your door. Not by the manufacturer …! Just check out the scrapes and marks from where you already kick the door, or perhaps where little peoples’ sticky fingers push on the door, or where dogs’ noses always seem to land…

All of our fingerplates come with screws included – either pre-drill the hole or just use a screwdriver, depending on what you door is made of and the state of your muscles! And you can kick away with pleasure 
