What Are the Uses of Door Plates?

 Door plates are a great way to protect your door from damage. They can be installed on a variety of different types of doors and they come in a wide range of sizes.

The most common use for these door plates is to protect the bottom half of a door from wear and tear caused by heavy traffic or rough usage. They can be installed on the pull side or the push side of a single door and are typically sized to be 2 inches less than the width of the door panel.

They are also a common choice for commercial buildings where they may be subject to heavy daily abuse and can save the owner from costly repairs. They are available in a number of styles and are often made from durable materials like copper.

Another common use for door plates is to protect the keyholes and cylinders from wear and tear. This can help keep your doors looking and working at their best, so that your business can continue to thrive for years to come.

Escutcheon plates are small security fittings that are unobtrusive and designed to enhance the look of a door. They are ideal for situations where it is difficult to fit a traditional lock or other security feature because the door may not have sufficient space for such a fitting.

They also come in a variety of colors to blend in with the door and can be used on metal, wooden or glazed doors. They are a simple, low-cost and effective solution to protect your door against damage.

The simplest way to find out what type of plate is best for you is to measure the thickness of your door and consult with your local hardware store. They will have a large selection of plate styles and can recommend the one that will work best for you.

Alternatively, you can choose to have your door pre-prepped for a specific configuration. Some options include circular strike plates, full lip strike plates and extended lip strike plates. Circular plates are shaped differently and will only fit certain doors that have already been prepared for them.

These are a popular option for high-traffic areas such as warehouses and shops where people frequently kick the door open in their effort to carry objects. They are also valuable for homes where pets might scratch at the door to enter or exit.

They can be fitted to swinging and one-directional doors as well as vertically positioned gates and they come in various sizes to match your existing ironmongery. They are also a good way to increase the aesthetics of your door and can add character and a sense of style.

Fingerplates are a good choice for commercial or public buildings where there will be lots of people passing through the building and they are essential in any place where fingerprints are a problem. They can be fitted to a variety of different door types and are available in a wide range of colours so that they will complement your current ironmongery.
