1986 W. H. Johnson in A. Limon et al. Home Owner Man. (ed. 2) iv. x. 675 It may be that the chimney is not in use. In that case..the register plate should be closed.

2006 N. M. Paterson Vernacular Archit. & Buildings Stroud & Chalford iv. 42 The register plate was introduced to control the flue draft and this formed the next stage in the development of coal burning hearths.
