Ives 8400 Series Kick Plate — 6" Height, Four Beveled Edges
The Ives 8400 Series kick plate is the commercial standard for lower-door protection in high-traffic openings. The 6" height covers the strike zone on most commercial doors; four beveled edges on all four sides give a finished, professional look without sharp corners. Pre-drilled countersunk holes ensure the screw heads sit flush — no proud hardware to catch on carts or equipment. Every plate ships with 16 #6 × 5/8" oval-head screws so installation is complete out of the box.
Substrate & Finish Options
- Stainless Steel (630 — Satin Stainless): 300-series stainless for maximum corrosion resistance; suitable for exterior and wet-area applications.
- Bronze (613 — Satin Bronze Oil-Rubbed): Warm, dark tone that coordinates with oil-rubbed bronze lever and hinge hardware.
- Bright Brass (605): High-polish brass for traditional and institutional interiors.
- Satin Brass (606): Brushed brass finish for a softer, contemporary look.
Widths run from 22" to 40" to fit standard and oversized commercial door widths. For brass plates installed on metal doors, apply gasket tape around the perimeter to prevent electrolytic oxidation and tarnishing.
Certifications & Standards
- ANSI/BHMA A156.6 — Grade 1 (J301): Meets the commercial-grade standard for protection plates; mounting hardware exceeds industry minimums.
- UL10C Listed: Certified for use on positive-pressure fire-rated door assemblies — required on fire-corridor and stairwell doors in most jurisdictions.
Typical Applications
- Commercial office buildings, lobbies, and corridors
- Healthcare facilities and hospital corridors
- Educational institutions — classrooms, cafeterias, gymnasiums
- Retail and hospitality back-of-house doors
- Multi-family residential common areas and laundry rooms
- Government and municipal buildings
- Industrial and warehouse personnel doors
Installation Notes
- Verify door thickness and substrate material compatibility before ordering.
- Use the manufacturer template to mark hole locations; drill pilot holes to match the door substrate.
- Set the plate with the included #6 × 5/8" oval-head screws — countersunk holes should sit flush with the plate face.
- For brass plates on hollow metal doors, apply gasket tape around the full perimeter before fastening to prevent galvanic tarnishing.
- Confirm alignment with door edges and existing hardware before final tightening.
