Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a push plate and a pull plate?
A push plate is a flat plate with no handle, mounted on the side of the door that is pushed open. A pull plate combines a plate with an attached pull handle so the door can be gripped and opened from that side.

When should a push plate be used instead of a lockset?
Push plates and pulls suit doors that do not need locking, such as interior doors, restrooms, storage rooms or one-way traffic doors where only an open and close function is required. PDQ push plates mount on the push side and are often specified as a matched set with a pull on the pull side.
