Delaney 3-1/2" x 15" Door Pull Plate

It depends on the finish you pick. The 630 Satin Stainless Steel version is made from a stainless steel base metal. The 613 Satin Bronze Oil-Rubbed version is solid brass. Same plate size either way, different base material.

Two finishes: 630 Satin Stainless Steel and 613 Satin Bronze Oil-Rubbed. 630 is the standard match for the brushed stainless lever sets, closers and push plates found on most commercial and institutional openings. 613 is the darker oil rubbed bronze used on residential and hospitality trim. Those BHMA numbers are the ones to compare against the rest of your door schedule.

No. The 613 Satin Bronze Oil-Rubbed version is solid brass with a living oil rubbed finish, so hand contact on a pull will wear the dark coating back to brighter brass at the grip point. That is normal for the finish. If you want a consistent look on a high traffic opening, order the 630 Satin Stainless Steel version instead, which is stainless base metal.

A pull plate puts the grip and the face protection in one piece, so it covers the area around the handle on the pull side of a door that has no lockset or latch trim to hide. That is why it is the usual choice on restroom, kitchen and corridor doors. If you only need the grip and the door face is already protected or finished, a standalone pull is the simpler buy. On a push/pull pair, the pull plate goes on the pull side and a plain push plate on the other.

For heavier traffic, ZenSupply carries the Ives 8302, which is a heavy duty pull plate with through bolt mounting, and the Ives 8303, a heavy duty plate offered with 8 inch or 10 inch center-to-center pull mounting. Trimco's cast heavy duty plates are another route: the 1010 Series with a 5 inch CTC pull, the 1012 tapered with 5.5 inch CTC, and the 1013 round with 5.5 inch CTC. Through bolting is the detail that matters most on an abused door, since it takes the pull load through the door rather than into screws.

Trimco offers the 1013, a round heavy duty pull plate with a 5.5 inch center-to-center pull, and the 1014 Series, a half-round pull plate with a 6 inch center-to-center pull. The Trimco 1012 uses a cast tapered pull at 5.5 inch center-to-center. Those give you round, half-round, and tapered grip profiles as alternatives to the Delaney 3-1/2 inch by 15 inch pull plate.

Several peers publish their pull center-to-center so you can set one drill pattern: Trimco 1010 at 5 inch, Trimco 1012 and Trimco 1013 at 5.5 inch, Trimco 1014 at 6 inch, and Ives 8303 at either 8 inch or 10 inch. The Delaney plate is a 3-1/2 inch by 15 inch pull plate, so match plate footprint first and then hole pattern when mixing types across a facility.

The Delaney plate is a plain rectangular 3-1/2 by 15 inch design. For decorative work, Emtek offers push and pull plate sets in the Knoxville, Modern, and Petal patterns, the Petal being lost wax cast bronze. Trimco's 1014 Series half-round plate with a 6 inch CTC pull is another shaped option if you want a cast look on a commercial door.
