Kick Plate Types

Stainless Steel Kick Plates
Stainless steel kick plates are heavy duty and very durable. If you require fire rated kick plates, stainless steel must be used, as aluminum or plastic cannot be fire rated.
Fire Rating
A Warnock Hersey Listed fire label designed for installation on commercial doors up to 3 hours is given to each First Defense fire rated kick plate.
Available Mounting Options
Self Drilling Screws Mounting Option
This is the most popular mounting option. The kick plate comes pre-drilled with pilot holes, and self drilling screws are included. This option is available for fire rated kick plates.
Security Torx Screws Mounting Option
The kick plate comes pre-drilled with pilot holes, and security torx screws are included. This option is available for fire rated kick plates.
Countersunk Holes Option
This option is only eligible for kick plates that are mounted by self drilling screws or security torx screws. The pre-drilled pilot holes in the kick plate are counter sunk, meaning they are drilled with a recess so that the head of the screw will seat flush in the kick plate when tightened.
Bevel Edges Option
Standard kick plates come with a square edge. This option allows you to add a bevel to all 4 sides of the kick plate. The bevel edge helps blend the kick plate into the door better visually and provides a more finished appearance. The bevel edge option is not available for plastic kick plates.
