Armor Plates

r plates are designed to protect the lower half of doors from use and abuse by pushcarts, handcarts, hand trucks, wheelchairs, and other equipment. These plates are ideally applied to the push side of single doors and both sides of double-acting doors. In some cases, an Armor plate can eliminate the need for a separate stretcher plate and kick plate.

The correct fit for your Armor Plate should be 2” shorter than the width of your door, which gives a one-inch allowance on each side. That way it clears your door trim and any weather stripping. If your door is 36” the correct size to order is a 34” long kick plate.

This item will arrive fully de-burred for smooth edges with a protective vinyl film that should be removed after installation.

NFPA NotesNFPA 80 Standard 6.4.5.1; Field installed protection plate shall be labeled and installed in accordance with their listing; Labeling is not required where the top of the protection plate is not more than 16 in. above the bottom of the door. 

Please note that kick plates on fire-rated doors may need to be tested, labeled, and installed properly to meet your local building codes, door warranties, and the like. We do not warrant or approve these plates for any specific usage.
