Kick plates are rectangles between 10 and 16 inches high. The larger ones are often used when wheelchair traffic is likely. To make sure the door still opens properly, the length of a kick plate is two inches narrower than the width of the door. That means no kicking along the edge of the door or near the door jam!
The main purpose of a Kick Plate is to protect the material of the door against weathering, dirt and being kicked. A Kick Plate is designed to be installed on a ‘push’ door as these are the doors that are commonly kicked open when the user might be carrying something with both hands.
A Kick Plate can also be used for other purposes, such as adding an aesthetic touch to your home or office. With the right finish and material, a Kick Plate can add that finishing touch that you’ve always been missing. Brass is a very common finish to have installed in a home as it will match perfectly with most types of wooden doors.
