Sign on door of Lloyd’s underwriter with denture (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nameplate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sign' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'door of lloyd's underwriter with denture' is the wordplay.
'door of lloyd's underwriter' becomes 'name' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'denture' becomes 'plate' (I've seen this before).
'name'+'plate'='NAMEPLATE'

'on' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nameplate that I've seen before include "for handle at entrance" , "Notice telling who is the occupant" , "Plaque" , "It may be attached to an office door" , "One identifies" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
