PP2280 Framed Push Plate, Heavy-Duty, 3-1/2" x 15"

The PP2280 is a 3-1/2 x 15 inch framed push plate, so it covers a narrow vertical band at hand height on the push side. That size protects the finish where palms and fingertips hit, but it won't stop cart, gurney, or hand-truck damage lower on the door. For traffic like that you want a kick plate at the bottom of the door in addition to the push plate, not a bigger push plate.

Mounting hardware ships with it. Each PP2280 is packed individually in a poly bag with its mounting hardware, sold one plate per unit. So order one per door leaf you're plating. If you also want a pull on the opposite face, that's a separate pull plate, since the PP2280 is a push plate only.

Not as a replacement for the exit device trim. The PP2280 is a plain protective push plate and does no latching. On a door with an exit device, the outside trim has to come from that device's own line, for example the Detex P/PN Series pull plate made for their Value Series exit devices. The PP2280 works on that door only as added finish protection on the push face, clear of the device.

No, the PP2280 is sold as a single push plate, one per unit. Deltana doesn't pair it in a set here. If you want a matched push and pull combination out of one series, Emtek's Knoxville, Modern, and Petal push and pull plates are all sold as push and pull families. For a pair of doors with a push side and a pull side, you'd order the PP2280 for each push face and a pull plate separately for the pull faces.

The Delaney 3-1/2" x 15" Push Plate is the direct size-for-size counterpart to the Deltana PP2280, which measures 3-1/2" x 15". Both are push plates in the same plate footprint, so an opening already drilled for one takes the other without changing the door prep. The PP2280 is solid brass with a framed edge and a 1.2 mm plate gauge; the Delaney runs as its own 3 1/2" x 15" Push Plates series. Choose on finish and edge detail rather than on fit.

The PP2280 is a push plate - a flat protective plate with no gripping hardware, listed with a Push handle type. On the pull side of the same opening, the Delaney 3-1/2" x 15" Door Pull Plate carries a pull on the same 3-1/2 by 15 inch plate size, so the push and pull leaves keep matching plate dimensions. For a heavier commercial pull, the Ives 8302 is a heavy duty pull plate with through bolt mounting and the Ives 8303 is a heavy duty pull plate with 8" or 10" center-to-center mounting. Push/pull pairs are ordered as two separate items.

No. The PP2280 is a 3-1/2" x 15" plate, half an inch narrower and an inch shorter than a 4 by 16 inch plate, so it will not hide the outline or the holes left by the larger size. For a fleet already standardized at 4 by 16, the Delaney 4" x 16" Push Plate matches the push side and the Delaney 4" x 16" Door Pull Plate matches the pull side. Use the PP2280 where the doors are being prepped fresh or where the existing plates are already 3-1/2 by 15.

Solid brass, 1.2 mm plate gauge. That matters two ways: solid brass won't rust through at a scratch the way a plated steel plate does, and the finish is on brass rather than over a different base metal, so it wears in rather than flaking to a contrasting substrate. The 1.2 mm gauge with a framed edge is what makes it the heavy-duty version rather than a thin decorative plate.

Six finishes: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Antique Brass, and Oil Rubbed Bronze. If you're matching a building standard, the PVD polished brass is the one to specify where the plate takes heavy hand traffic, since PVD holds its color under handling far better than a lacquered polished brass. Antique brass and oil rubbed bronze are living finishes that will vary and mellow with use.

Footprint, mainly. The PP2280 measures 3-1/2 x 15 inches, while a plate like the Delaney 4 x 16 inch push plate is wider and taller. Go wider only if the door stile has the face width to take it; on narrow stile doors the extra inch of width is what puts the plate edge over the glass stop or the door edge. If you're standardizing a building, pick one size and stay with it, since the two do not look intentional side by side.

It's a commercial-grade item, built as the heavy-duty version in solid brass at 1.2 mm gauge with a framed edge. That suits corridor and common-area doors in multi-family, office, and hospitality work. For openings taking metal carts and constant service traffic, look at a through-bolted heavy-duty plate instead, such as the Ives 8302, which mounts through the door rather than with surface screws.

They solve different problems. The PP2280 is a push plate that protects the door face and is pushed flat-handed. The Detex P/PN Series pull plate is built for Value Series exit devices, so it is matched to a specific exit device rather than to a plain swinging door. On an opening with a Detex Value Series device, the P/PN plate is the item that suits the device; the PP2280 is the choice for a swinging door with no exit device involved.

The PP2280 is a framed solid brass plate flagged for commercial use, offered in PVD Polished Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome and Antique Brass. Where the look drives the choice, Emtek offers push and pull plates in the Modern series, the Knoxville series, and a lost wax cast bronze Petal series. Those Emtek sets ship push and pull together as a design family; the PP2280 is ordered as a single plate, each.

One per push face, so 40 plates for 40 single doors, and 80 for 40 pairs where both leaves get plated. Each is priced and packed individually with its own mounting hardware, so there's no case-pack quantity to work around. Keep the whole order in one finish, since brass finishes vary enough between production runs that mixing later purchases is visible in a corridor.
