Ives 840028828 Kick Plate Aluminum 8 X 28 Inches

Product Description

The IVES 840028828 is an aluminum kick plate measuring 8 inches wide by 28 inches long, designed to protect the lower section of doors from scuffs, dents, and wear caused by foot traffic. At 0.1 inches thick and 3.3 pounds, it provides a solid, low-profile guard that installs flush against the door face. The aluminum finish suits commercial and residential door applications where durability and a clean appearance are both required. This type of protection plate is a standard item for facilities maintenance techs, commercial door installers, and finish carpenters working on high-traffic interior and exterior door assemblies.

This kick plate is suited for use on wood, hollow-metal, and composite doors in commercial buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and multi-family residential properties. It is particularly useful on doors in corridors, restrooms, and service areas where carts, equipment, and foot traffic regularly contact the lower door surface. One plate is supplied per order. Installation requires no special trade licensing and is typically handled by door hardware installers or general contractors during finish-out or renovation.

Installation Notes

Door hardware installers and general contractors typically mount kick plates using countersunk screws through pre-drilled holes in the plate. Confirm door thickness and face clearance before fastening to avoid interference with door hardware or weatherstripping. No power shutoff is required, but removal of the door from its frame may assist alignment during installation. Follow the door manufacturer's guidelines and applicable building codes for proper placement and fastener selection.
