Door sign
The term door plate has two different meanings.
Cover plate
On the one hand, door plate denotes a cover plate over the recesses in the lock area of the door leaf or door leaf with a guide bearing for the door handle . The guide bearing gives the door handle the axial and radial seat. A distinction is made between a long plate and a short plate. Name of the door plate / door rose parts and their abbreviations according to DIN 18 255:
- Long shield = L
- Short shield = K
- Door rosette = R (for door rosette )
- Door handle rosette = DR
- Key rosette = SR
- Profile cylinder perforation = PZ (for profile cylinder )
- Tumbler perforation = BB (for a tumbler lock )
- Special perforation = SO (e.g. for oval cylinders)
- Use in living areas = Where (low stress, low frequency of use)
- Use in the commercial sector = whether (high stress, high frequency of use)
Designation examples: "Set DIN 18 255 - L - BB - AI-Wo" = door handle set with long plates (L) with perforation for tumbler (BB) made of aluminum for use in living areas.
Name tag
On the other hand, the door plate can be a name plate that is attached to or on the door; it bears the name of the resident or user or the name of the room to which the door leads.
