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.
