Dark Bronze Door Kickplate Specifications

Kickplates are a great addition to your exterior doors. Kick plates provide a great look but they also protect your door from wear and tear caused by traffic. We have many finishes available to match your other door hardware products. Generally you will want to order a kickplate 2" smaller than the width of the door you have. For example, a 36" door would look the best with a 34" wide kickplate. The weatherstrip on either side of the door will cover up to 1/2" of your door, so a kickplate that is a bit smaller leaves a nice reveal around the sides of the kickplate. If you order the exact same kick plate as your door width, the kickplate will hit the weatherstrip and jamb and may cause the door to close improperly. Our kick plates are custom made per order and generally take up to 3 weeks before delivery. Some sizes and finishes are stocked, please call us to verify if you are in a rush and we can check the timeframe. There is a 25% restock fee assessed on all returned kickplates.

Kickplate Mounting Options

Screw Mounted Kick Plates
	Screw Mount is the most secure and most common type of mount for kickplates. Using a screw mount kickplate will leave screw mount holes in your door if you ever remove it so be sure you want the kickplate before ordering. Screw mount kickplates can be installed on wood, metal or fiberglass doors.
Magnetic Mount Kick plates
	Magnetic Mount Kickplates are used on metal doors. The entire back side of the kickplate is coated with a layer of magnetic material to give a nice secure hold on the door so that it will not move when opened and closed repeatedly. NOTE: Magnetic mount kickplates can only be used on metal doors.
Adhesive Mount Kick Plates
	Adhesive Mount Kickplates are used on any door that you do not want to drill with screws. The adhesive mount kickplates have two adhesive strips on the back of the kickplate. To install you clean the surface of the door, remove the adhesive backing and apply firmly to the door. Make sure you line everything up and install the kickplate where you want it the first time as the adhesive is cannot be reapplied. Adhesive mount kickplates give you a clean look wihtout mounting screws similar to a magnetic mount kickplate, but with adhesive you can mount the kickplate to nearly any type of door surface.
