Questions people ask

Which sizes can I have?

Four door name plate sizes: A4 (297 × 210 mm), 350 × 250, 450 × 300 and 600 × 400 mm, any of them portrait or landscape. Other sizes are quoted: ask below.

How does it fix to the wall or door?

Four holes, 10 mm in from each corner, with brass screws in the box. Choose countersunk holes for a flush screw or plain drilled holes for the traditional proud head. Plaques are screw-fixed; we do not supply an adhesive fixing.

How much wording fits?

Up to four lines: 28 characters on the first, 36 on the second and 42 on each of the others. The designer shrinks the text to fit and warns you if a line would engrave too small to read.

Can I have a logo or crest?

No. Brass plaques are lettering only, in your choice of nine fonts.

How long does it take?

Made to order and dispatched within 5 working days. We check every design by hand before it goes on the machine and email you if anything needs looking at.

What does delivery cost?

Royal Mail Tracked 24 is £6.95 and courier is £14.95, chosen before you pay; you give the delivery address on the secure payment page. Collection from our works in Alnwick is free.

Can I return it?

Personalised plaques are made to your wording and are not returnable unless faulty; the usual 14-day cancellation right does not apply to personalised goods. If a plaque arrives faulty we replace it.

Where can it be used?

Indoor walls, doors and sheltered porches. Our outdoor finish is still under test, so ask us before fixing one outside. Three coats of Incralac lacquer slow tarnishing; a polish with Brasso every few months keeps it bright.

Engraved name plates and small plaques

Laser engraved into solid brass with your own wording: a name for a door, a frame, a trophy or a keepsake. Three coats of Incralac lacquer to slow tarnishing. For indoor walls, doors and sheltered porches.
