Deltana PPH3515 Push Plate 15" for 8" Door Pull

A push plate is blank, it takes the hand and protects the door face on the push side. A pull plate has a handle mounted to it and goes on the pull side. On a single door swinging one way you generally want a pull plate outside and a push plate inside. The Deltana PPH3515 is the push plate half, meant to back an 8 inch pull; if you want the handle and plate as one assembly instead, the Trimco 1010 Series carries a 5 inch center-to-center pull on the plate and the 1014 Series a 6 inch center-to-center half-round pull.

The Deltana PPH3515 is a flat push plate that mounts behind an 8 inch door pull; the pull is a separate part. If you need a single plate with the pull already attached, the Ives 8302 heavy duty pull plate uses through bolt mounting, and the Ives 8303 heavy duty pull plate comes with 8 inch or 10 inch center-to-center pull mounting. Trimco also builds cast pull plates with the pull integrated: the 1010 Series at 5 inch center-to-center, the 1012 tapered heavy duty at 5.5 inch, the 1013 round heavy duty at 5.5 inch, and the 1014 Series half-round at 6 inch center-to-center.

It is a decorative plate for a pull-and-push opening, not exit device trim. If the door carries a panic device and you need the plate to work with it, use trim built for that device, such as the Detex P/PN Series pull plate for the Value Series exit devices. Mounting a general push plate over exit device prep can leave you with holes that do not line up.

Solid brass, with a 1.2mm plate gauge. That matters for two reasons: brass takes the plated and PVD finishes without the flaking you get on coated steel, and 1.2mm is thin enough to sit close to the face of the door rather than standing off it.

Mounting hardware is included, packed with the plate in an individual poly bag. It is sold each, so for a push/pull set on one leaf or for both leaves of a pair you order the quantity of plates you need plus the DP2576 or DP2574 pull separately.

Seven finishes: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, and Polished Chrome. If the doors get heavy daily traffic and hand oils, the PVD Polished Brass holds its color where standard lacquered polished brass will wear through at the push point.

Deltana rates the PPH3515 for commercial use. It is a decorative solid brass plate rather than a through-bolted institutional one, so it suits storefront, office, hospitality and multi-family entries. For a high-abuse opening (a school corridor, a hospital service door) a through-bolt heavy duty plate like the Ives 8302 is the sturdier route.

The Deltana PPH3515 is a 1.2mm gauge solid brass push plate rated for commercial use. Where a job calls out heavy duty specifically, Ives and Trimco carry that duty level: the Ives 8302 and Ives 8303 are heavy duty pull plates, and the Trimco 1012, 1013, and 1010 Series are heavy duty cast pull plates. Those are pull plates with the pull integral to the plate, so the substitution changes the door face from a flat push surface to a grip.

One model number covers seven finishes, so a facility can hold a single part across buildings and vary only the finish: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel and Polished Chrome. Each is sold each and ships bagged with its own mounting hardware, which keeps kitting simple when a crew is doing a floor at a time.

The Deltana PPH3515 is a flat solid brass plate finished in options including PVD Polished Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Polished Brass, and Antique Brass. If the door calls for a patterned or sculpted face instead, Emtek builds push and pull plates in the Knoxville and Modern series, and a Petal series in lost wax cast bronze.
