Solid Brass Kick Plates - Antique Brass, Bronze, and Lifetime PVD Solid Brass

Kick Plates are a wonderful to enhance the entryway system of your home while increasing the durability of your door. Kick plates are used on both commercial doors and private homes to prevent scratches and gouges over time on the lower portion of the door. Because kick plates are available in a wide variety of sizes, materials and finishes it is easy to coordinate your new kick plate to complement your existing door hardware.

Kick plates are a great addition to any exterior (or interior) door in your home or business. Because the lowest section of a door frequently becomes damaged over time, kick plates function as a barrier against this normal wear and tear. Depending on the type of door you have a kick plate can mount using screws (wood doors), adhesive or magnetic for metal doors. Kickplates are available in solid brass (which is extremely durable), aluminum, or even forged iron. The plates are available in a variety of standard sizes or can be custom sized. Available finishes include Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Satin Nickel, Weathered Black, Anodized Bronze, Antique Nickel and Polished Stainless Steel.

Kickplates are produced today - allowing you to add them to your current (or new) entryway system. It is a simple way to enhance the durability of your door and complete the look of your entryway. There are a few simple steps to follow when selecting a new kick plate for your door.

First, measure carefully - kickplates are not the width of the door - allow 1/2 inch of extra room on either side of the plate for proper installation and function. Second, remember to pay attention to the type of mount needed (magnetic kick plates will not work of wooden doors and screw mount might be compatible on a metal door). Note: By adding a kick plate to your exterior door it will tie together the rest of your door hardware. Replace older knobs, doorbells and knockers in the same finish and different designs will tie together nicely.

Kickplates are readily available online as well as in many home decorating catalogs. Search for solid brass construction for increased durability and remember to ask questions.
