Rockwood 70AUS26D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Rockwood 70A push plate meet ANSI A156.6?
It is listed to ANSI A156.6 under type J301, which is the architectural door trim standard covering push plates. That is the designation most institutional and government specs call out on a door trim schedule, so the 70A can be written in directly against a J301 line item.
2) What screws come with the Rockwood 70A, and can I mount it without drilling the door?
Standard mounting is #6 x 5/8 inch oval head sheet metal screws. If you don't want to drill, order the SA option: self-adhesive mounting on 1/16 inch double face foam tape, which comes with no screw holes in the plate at all. For metal doors there's a TEK self-drilling screw option, and TORX security screws where tamper resistance matters.
3) Do I need a push plate or a pull plate on this door?
The Rockwood 70A is a push plate, a flat stainless plate with no handle, for the swing side of a door people push through. If people pull the door open from that side you want a pull plate instead, which carries a grip. ZenSupply stocks pull plates such as the Ives 8303, offered in 8 or 10 inch center-to-center mounting, and the Trimco 1010 Series cast pull plate with a 5 inch CTC pull. Typical practice is a push plate on one face and a matching pull plate on the other.
4) What is the closest alternative to the Rockwood 70A push plate if I need a larger plate face?
The Rockwood 70A is a 3 inch by 12 inch stainless steel push plate. If the door needs more coverage, Delaney offers push plates in a 3-1/2 inch by 15 inch size and a 4 inch by 16 inch size, both sold as push plates rather than pull plates, so the push-side function stays the same while the plate face gets larger.
5) What finishes does the Rockwood 70 push plate come in?
Three: 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 626 satin chrome, and 630 satin stainless. For matching the rest of an institutional opening, 630 satin stainless is the usual pairing with stainless pulls and push bars; 626 reads brighter and matches chrome-plated brass trim.
6) Can I get a cylinder or thumbturn cutout in a Rockwood 70 push plate?
Yes. Specify CFC for a cylinder cutout or CFTT for a turn knob cutout, which is how you run the plate over a lock on the push side without fouling the cylinder. Standard locations and sizes are set by Rockwood, so the cutout lands where their trim schedule puts it unless you call out otherwise.
7) Is a 0.050 gauge stainless push plate heavy enough for a school or hospital corridor?
The 70 series is standard gauge 0.050 stainless steel with four beveled edges, built for commercial use across institutional buildings, offices, retail, education, detention, sports facilities and hospitality. For high-abuse openings Rockwood offers a heavy bevel version on models 70A through 70G, specified as HVBEV, which puts more material at the edge where cart traffic hits first.
8) What are the alternatives if 3 x 12 inches is too small for my door?
Larger push plates we carry include the Delaney 3-1/2 x 15 inch push plate and the Delaney 4 x 16 inch push plate. The 4 x 16 is the common choice where a bigger hand target or more coverage of an existing mark is needed. Rockwood will also run the 70 series in a custom size if you need to match an odd existing cutout.
9) I need something more decorative than the Rockwood 70A for a hospitality entrance - what are the options?
The Rockwood 70A is a plain stainless steel plate with beveled edges, meant for institutional, office, retail, educational, hotel and restaurant use. If the opening calls for a decorative treatment, Emtek makes push and pull plates in the Knoxville and Modern series, and a Petal series made from lost wax cast bronze. Those are styled sets rather than flat utility plates, so confirm the plate size suits the stile before ordering.
10) For a high traffic door, is the Rockwood 70A heavy enough or should I look at a heavy duty plate?
The Rockwood 70A is a standard gauge 0.050 stainless steel push plate built to ANSI A156.6, J301, which suits commercial push-side duty. Where the opening takes hard use on the pull side, Ives 8302 and 8303 and Trimco 1010, 1012 and 1013 are rated heavy duty, with the Ives 8302 using through bolt mounting rather than surface screws.
11) If I want matching push and pull plates from one maker instead of mixing the Rockwood 70A with another brand, what should I look at?
Delaney sells matched sets, with a 3-1/2 inch by 15 inch push plate and a 3-1/2 inch by 15 inch pull plate, plus a 4 inch by 16 inch push plate and 4 inch by 16 inch pull plate. Emtek Knoxville, Modern and Petal are also offered as push and pull plate pairs. The Rockwood 70A is a push plate on its own, finished in 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 626 satin chrome or 630 satin stainless, so a matching Rockwood pull would be ordered separately.
