Deltana PP3515 Push Plate 3-1/2" x 15" Brass or Stainless Steel

Mounting hardware is in the bag. The PP3515 ships each plate individually poly bagged with its mounting hardware included, so a maintenance tech can pull one off the shelf and hang it without a separate fastener order. Nothing else is required to mount the plate to a swinging door.

The PP3515 measures 3-1/2 x 15 inches. The 3-1/2 inch dimension is what governs stile fit: on a narrow aluminum stile door you need the plate to sit inside the stile face without lapping onto the glass stop, so measure your flat stile face first. On a standard flush wood or hollow metal door there is plenty of room. If you need more coverage on a wider door, the Delaney 4 x 16 inch push plate is the larger option.

A push plate is a flat plate with no handle, mounted on the swing side so hands hit metal instead of the door face. The Deltana PP3515 is a push plate, so it goes on the side the door opens away from. The pull side needs a plate with a handle on it, like the Delaney 3-1/2 x 15 inch pull plate or an Ives 8302 heavy duty pull plate. On a single-acting door most jobs use one of each, matched in size and finish.

The plate footprint matches at 3-1/2 x 15 inches, so the same area of door is covered, but push plate screw patterns are not standardized between makers and the PP3515 comes with its own mounting hardware rather than reusing yours. Expect to drill fresh pilot holes. Since the outline is the same size, any old holes fall under the new plate. If you are matching a Delaney 3-1/2 x 15 push plate that is already on other doors in the building, the size matches exactly.

The Deltana PP3515 is a 3-1/2 inch by 15 inch push plate. The direct dimensional match from another maker is the Delaney 3-1/2 inch x 15 inch Push Plate, which is built in the same 3 1/2 inch x 15 inch Push Plates series size. If your doors are already drilled and finished for a 3-1/2 by 15 plate, either one covers the same footprint on the stile.

The Deltana PP3515 is fixed at 3-1/2 inches by 15 inches. When the opening needs more coverage, the Delaney 4 inch x 16 inch Push Plate steps up to a 4 by 16 face. That extra half inch of width and inch of height matters on a wide stile or where an existing plate left a shadow line you are trying to cover.

No - those are pull plates, not push plates. The Ives 8302 is a heavy duty pull plate with through bolt mounting and the Ives 8303 is a heavy duty pull plate offered in 8 inch or 10 inch center-to-center mounting, so both carry a grip handle and both are mounted for pulling load. The Deltana PP3515 is a flat push plate in brass or stainless steel meant to protect the door finish on the push side. They go on opposite faces of the same door, not in place of each other.

Plate gauge is 1.10mm, and Deltana rates the PP3515 for commercial use. That is a sheet-gauge plate meant to take hand traffic and protect the door finish, not a through-bolted heavy duty pull. If your opening is a high-abuse door where people shoulder through with carts, look at a heavy duty option such as the Ives 8302 with through bolt mounting on the pull side.

Ten finishes: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Brushed Stainless, and Paint Black. If you are matching existing hardware across a building, PVD Polished Brass is the one to pick when you want the brass tone to hold up on an exterior or high-touch door, since PVD is a deposited coating rather than a lacquer.

Both, depending on finish. Deltana lists the PP3515 in brass or stainless steel with a stainless steel substrate. The practical read: the Brushed Stainless finish is the stainless plate, and the brass and bronze tones are the brass material. For a wet or coastal exterior, or a kitchen and healthcare corridor that gets wiped with disinfectant, stainless is the material to specify.

Yes, and the PP3515 is sold each, so you order the exact count of doors rather than a fixed carton. One model, one 3-1/2 x 15 inch size, ten finishes to pick from, each plate bagged with its own hardware. For a facility standard, pick the finish once and the size stays consistent across every opening you specify it on.

No handing on the Deltana PP3515. It is a flat plate with no handle, so it works on a left hand or right hand door with no change to the part. Mount it vertically with the 15 inch dimension running up the door at hand height on the push side. That is the only orientation decision to make.

Not as trim for the device. The PP3515 is a door protection plate that mounts to the door face; it does not attach to or operate an exit device. If you need a plate that works with a Detex Value Series exit device, the Detex P/PN Series pull plate is the part made for that application. A push plate can still go on the push side of an exit device door, above or below the crossbar, purely to protect the finish.

The Deltana PP3515 is a commercial push plate at 1.10mm plate gauge. Where the pull side is taking the abuse, the Trimco 1010 Series cast pull plate with 5 inch center-to-center, the Trimco 1012 cast tapered plate with 5.5 inch CTC, and the Trimco 1013 round plate with 5.5 inch CTC are all rated heavy duty, as are the Ives 8302 and Ives 8303. Those are cast pull plates rather than push plates, so on a push/pull pair the PP3515 still covers the push face.

The PP3515 is a plain rectangular plate in a 3-1/2 x 15 inch size, sold as a push plate on its own in ten finishes. Emtek's Knoxville, Modern, and Petal offerings are push and pull plate designs sold as styled sets, with Petal being lost wax cast bronze. Pick the Deltana when you want a straightforward commercial plate you can repeat across a lot of doors; pick an Emtek series when the door is a design feature and you want the plate to read as decorative.
