At Metal Sheets Ltd, we specialise in manufacturing made-to-measure door push plates and finger plates in brass, copper, stainless steel, aluminium and other architectural metals. Unlike standard ironmongery suppliers, we do not produce off-the-shelf plates — every piece is custom-made to your drawing, template or measurements. From clean rectangular designs to themed plates, engraved motifs, shaped profiles and patinated finishes, we create push plates that elevate a doorway and complement the building’s character. Whether you're an interior designer, architect, shopfitter or homeowner, our bespoke push plates offer far more design freedom, durability and individuality than mass-produced alternatives.
Door finger plates are touched hundreds of times a day, and the metal you choose sends a message before a visitor even enters the room.
Brass Push Plates – Luxurious & Timeless
Mirror-polished solid brass finger plates instantly project quality. They are widely used in boutique hotels, period buildings and heritage interiors, developing a natural patina over time unless kept polished. Brushed or natural brass offers a more subtle, classic finish, ideal for wooden doors. These can be paired with a brass door step cover and kickplate.

Stainless Steel Push Plates – Contemporary & Clean
Mirror stainless steel creates a crisp, modern aesthetic for high-end retail, hospitality and commercial entrances. Brushed stainless steel offers a refined, low-glare finish that conceals fingerprints and marks — perfect for offices, hospitals and public buildings.
Copper Push Plates – Warm, Characterful & Antimicrobial
Solid copper finger plates provide a unique warmth and craft aesthetic, developing a rich patina that suits both traditional and contemporary interiors. Copper naturally kills bacteria and viruses, making it ideal for hygiene-critical environments.
Aluminium Push Plates – Lightweight & Cost-Effective
Plain and anodised aluminium push plates offer excellent durability with a minimalist look. Silver anodised aluminium provides a premium architectural finish with high resistance to marking and oxidation.
For matching lower-door protection, see our made-to-measure door kick plates.
Copper finger plates are a practical choice for schools, hospitals, surgeries, healthcare facilities, canteens, washrooms and high-traffic entrances, where hygiene is essential.
Copper destroys microbes on contact, outperforming stainless steel and coated surfaces.
Pairing copper push plates with our antimicrobial copper door handles ensures full touchpoint protection across the entire doorway.
