Bronze Plaques

Bronze plaques: signage cast in cabinet hardware's own bronze

Nothing here operates a door or drawer; a plaque is signage, cast flat and mounted with screws rather than hinged or turned. The Please Remove Your Shoes Plaque comes in three fonts, New Century Schoolbook, Coronet, and Century Gothic, and a blank Plaque repeats those same three options for anyone writing their own wording elsewhere. A Nameplate Ladies and Nameplate Gentlemen round out the group as restroom or room signage, along with a separate Mens Plaque carrying the same restroom function under a different name and a slightly different font treatment.

Three fonts, three very different moods

New Century Schoolbook is a serif face, the choice for a traditional foyer or mudroom. Century Gothic drops the serifs for something plainer and more current. Coronet leans script-like and formal, closer to an invitation than a sign. Since the wording on the Please Remove Your Shoes Plaque is fixed either way, font is really the only choice left on that particular piece, though the blank Plaque leaves that wording open for whatever custom text a buyer needs engraved. Legibility at a glance is the practical test here, since a plaque gets read from several feet away, never held close like a printed page.

Signage, not code-compliant restroom hardware

Cast in the same bronze finishes used across Rocky Mountain Hardware's door and cabinet pieces, a Nameplate can match levers and pulls installed close by, rather than looking like a mismatched material choice next to them. That said, these belong to home or small commercial signage, not ADA-compliant restroom markers, which carry their own material, mounting height, and Braille requirements a cast bronze plaque was never built to meet in a code-regulated public building. A space subject to public accessibility code needs markers built to that specification, not a decorative bronze casting meant for a private home.
