Fingerplate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A fingerplate (or a finger-plate) may be:

  • An item of door furniture that protects a door from wear and tear (and accumulation of dirt) caused by people opening it with their hand. It is usually at chest height opposite the hinge, a natural place to push a door in order to open it.
  • A small clamping device sometimes used to hold work while using a drill press.
  • The part of a rotary-dial telephone that rotates when dialing numbers.
