Kick Plates

The bottom panel of a door takes more daily abuse than any other part. Shoes, boots, pet paws, delivery boxes, and furniture all make contact with the lower section of a door on a regular basis, scuffing, scratching, and wearing through the finish over time. A kick plate solves this problem cleanly and affordably.

Kick plates are flat metal plates that mount to the lower face of a door, typically covering the bottom 8 to 10 inches of the door panel. They act as a durable protective barrier between the door surface and everyday contact, keeping your door looking clean and undamaged for years longer than an unprotected door would last.

All kick plates at Inside Out Hardware are made by Designers Impressions and come in three finishes: oil rubbed bronze, flat black, and satin nickel. These finishes are widely used across door knobs, door levers, and door hinges, making it straightforward to match your kick plate to the rest of your door hardware for a coordinated look.

Size selection is simple. The 4 by 34 inch kick plate works well on standard single interior or exterior doors. The 6 by 30 inch and 8 by 30 inch options provide wider coverage and are popular on front entry doors and any door with high foot traffic. The 8 by 34 inch size offers maximum panel coverage and is a solid choice for exterior doors on busy households.
