Description
Reliable Protection for High Traffic Commercial Doors
Commercial doorways endure relentless punishment day in and day out. In bustling offices, lively school corridors, and busy hospital wards, the lower third of any timber door takes the brunt of passing foot traffic. Shoes, work boots, heavy trolleys, cleaning equipment, and mobility aids constantly strike timber faces and delicate veneers. Over time, these repeated impacts leave deep gouges, scuffs, splintered wood, and ruined paintwork. Repairing chipped edges and constantly repainting scarred surfaces drives up facilities maintenance bills and disrupts daily operations, leaving your entranceways looking tired and neglected.
Fitting the Kick Plate 762 x 152 x 1.2mm Aluminium Drilled provides a simple and permanent defence against ongoing wear. Engineered from 1.2mm thick aluminium, equivalent to traditional 18 gauge sheeting, this protective barrier absorbs daily knocks while shielding the door structure beneath. Sized at 762mm wide by 152mm high, it matches standard 30 inch door leaves perfectly, providing balanced edge coverage right where destructive shoe impacts occur. The satin anodised finish adds an attractive metallic sheen that naturally resists surface scratching and finger marks.
Because maintaining compliant and presentable premises is essential for estate managers, this hardwearing plate combines subtle architectural styling with robust physical durability. It converts vulnerable timber into an impact-deflecting surface, ensuring your doors remain presentable and professional for years to come without demanding constant cosmetic touch-ups.
Stage by Stage Specification and Installation Guide
1. Pre-Installation Sizing and Assessment
Before securing the plate, measure the width of the door leaf to confirm correct positioning. Designed specifically for 30 inch leaf dimensions, the plate should sit equidistant from both vertical edges, leaving adequate clearance so it does not interfere with the frame stops or latches during closure.
2. Surface Preparation
Ensure the lower timber face is dry, smooth, and free of dirt, oil, or loose paint flakes. Cleaning the mounting zone gives you a level surface, ensuring the 1.2mm aluminium plate sits completely flat against the wood without warping or developing unwanted hollow gaps behind the metal.
3. Pilot Hole Drilling
Position the plate horizontally along the bottom rail, align it with a spirit level, and lightly mark the eight pre-drilled fixing locations. Drill fine pilot holes into the timber to avoid splitting the grain, especially when working on dense solid timber cores or delicate hardwood veneers.
4. Fastening and Countersunk Alignment
Secure the plate using matching countersunk wood screws across all eight factory-machined fixing holes. Drive the screws flush into the bevelled recesses, creating a smooth outer face that eliminates snag points for passing clothing, cleaning mops, and everyday hospital rolling equipment.
5. Alignment and Swing Testing
Cycle the door through its full swing motion to ensure the plate clear floor coverings, thresholds, and door stops smoothly. The 1.2mm slim profile adds crucial impact strength without catching on acoustic seals or bottom drop-down draft excluders fitted along the perimeter.
6. Routine Maintenance and Care
Keep the satin anodised finish looking pristine by wiping it down regularly with a soft damp cloth and mild household detergent. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemical cleaners, allowing the electro-chemically sealed protective layer to defend against corrosion for the long term.
