Deltana KP634 Kick Plate 6" x 34" Stainless Steel

The Deltana KP634 is a 6" x 34" stainless steel kick plate. The nearest cross-brand equivalents are the Hager 190S in satin stainless steel, part of Hager's 190 Series door protection plates, and the Ives 8400 Series stainless steel door protection plate. All three are surface-applied stainless plates that protect the face of a swinging door, so a facility standardizing on one can generally accept any of the three at the same opening.

Functionally yes, provided the size matches the opening. The Ives 8400 Series is a stainless steel door protection plate with beveled edges, the same category of surface-mounted plate as the Deltana KP634 stainless kick plate. What has to line up is the plate dimension against the door width and the height needed below the lock or push bar; the KP634 is 6" x 34", so on a 36-inch door leaf it is the standard 1-inch-shy-each-side kick plate. Order the 8400 in the equivalent size if you are matching an existing plate line across a building.

Two: brushed stainless (US32D) and a painted black. Both are the same 6 x 34 inch stainless steel plate, so if you are matching existing hardware on a run of doors, pick brushed stainless for satin chrome and satin nickel trim, black for matte black or bronze-toned openings.

It is rated commercial. The plate is solid stainless steel at 1.10mm gauge, which is the common commercial kick plate thickness, and stainless is the material of choice where carts, mops and wet cleaning are in play because it does not corrode the way brass or painted steel does. For a hospital or school corridor taking gurney and cart traffic all day, a heavier gauge plate is worth specifying.

Kick plates mount on the push side, at the bottom of the door, because that is the face that takes the boot and the cart. The KP634 is made for swinging doors. If you want protection on the pull side too, order a second plate, they are sold each, not as a pair.

No handing on a kick plate. The KP634 is a flat 6 x 34 inch rectangle, so the same plate works on a left hand or right hand door, inswing or outswing. What you do have to get right is the width, and whether the door has a bottom rail deep enough to take a 6 inch plate without the plate running into glazing or a panel joint.

ZenSupply carries two other stainless protection plates of this type. The Hager 190S in satin stainless has four beveled edges, and the Ives 8400 Series is a stainless protection plate with beveled edges as well. Beveled edges are the difference to weigh: they take the sharp corner off a plate that sits at shin height in a public corridor. Deltana's advantage on the KP634 is that it comes in a painted black as well as brushed stainless, so you can match dark trim without repainting a plate.

Six inches, as on the KP634, is the common height for general traffic doors, apartment entries and offices, and it clears most bottom rails on a stile and rail or glass door. Eight and ten inch plates are for openings that take cart and gurney impact all day: hospital corridors, kitchens, loading areas. Check the bottom rail depth on a glass or panel door first, since a taller plate can run up into the glazing stop.

Both are stainless steel door protection plates. The Deltana KP634 is supplied in a fixed 6" x 34" size and is offered in brushed stainless and painted black, so the black option covers a dark door or a dark hardware set without field finishing. The Hager 190S is a 190 Series plate with a satin stainless steel finish and four beveled edges. If the specification calls out beveled edges on all four sides, the 190S states that; if it calls out a black plate, the KP634 covers it.

No. The KP634 is a 6" x 34" kick plate, mounted at the bottom of the door face to take shoe and cart contact. An armor plate is the much taller plate that runs from the bottom of the door up past the lock, and a mop plate is the short plate applied to the bottom edge zone on the pull side to take mop and bucket contact. The Hager 190S and the Ives 8400 Series are both stainless door protection plates in the same kick-plate family as the KP634 and are the right things to cross-shop against it; a taller armor plate is not a drop-in for a 6-inch plate because the fastener pattern and the coverage above the plate differ.

Yes, this one is intended for exterior use as well as interior. Stainless steel is the reason: it holds up to weather, road salt and repeated washdown where a brass or plated plate would pit or discolour. On an exterior opening, use fasteners that will not rust and stain the plate.

They will all do the job, but they will not read as one set from the corridor. The Deltana KP634 is brushed stainless, the Hager 190S is satin stainless, and the Ives 8400 Series is a stainless plate as well, so the base material is consistent across all three; edge treatment is where they visibly diverge, since the 190S and the 8400 are both described with beveled edges. For a facility standard, pick one series and one size and hold it, and use the KP634 painted black option only where the door package is intentionally dark.
