Rockwood 71A US32D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes does the Rockwood 71 push plate come in?
Two sizes: 3 x 12 inches and 4 x 16 inches. The 4 x 16 is the size most commonly specified on commercial openings, and it is the only one of the two wide enough to take engraving, since Rockwood engraves plates 4 inches wide or wider. If you need something outside those two, Rockwood makes the 71 in custom sizes on request.
2) Will a 4 inch wide push plate fit my narrow stile aluminum door?
Probably not. On a narrow stile aluminum storefront the stile is often only around 2 inches of usable face, so the 3 x 12 inch Rockwood 71 is the one to look at, and even that needs a stile check before you order. Measure the flat face of the stile clear of the glass stop and leave room for the plate's beveled edges. The 4 x 16 is sized for wide stile aluminum, hollow metal, and wood doors.
3) What screws come with the Rockwood 71 push plate and can I use it on an aluminum or glass door?
It ships with #6 x 5/8 inch oval head sheet metal screws, which suit wood and hollow metal. For aluminum, order the TEK option for self-drilling screws. If you cannot drill the door at all, such as a full glass or a door you do not want punctured, order the SA option: self-adhesive mounting with 1/16 inch double face foam tape and no screw holes in the plate. TORX security screws are the third option where tamper resistance matters.
4) Is the Rockwood 71 push plate rated to a commercial standard?
Yes. The 71 meets ANSI A156.6 and carries the J301 product code, and Rockwood lists it as commercial grade hardware. That is the standard a specifier or facility procurement group will be looking for on an architectural door trim submittal.
5) Do I need a pull plate on the other side, and what pairs with the Rockwood 71?
Standard practice on a push/pull opening is a push plate on the push side and a pull on the pull side. The 71 is push only, it has no handle. For the pull side, options include the Delaney 4 x 16 inch pull plate, which matches the 4 x 16 footprint, or heavier duty cast pulls like the Ives 8303 with 8 or 10 inch center-to-center mounting, or the Ives 8302 with through bolt mounting where the door takes hard use.
6) What is the closest match to a Rockwood 71 push plate in a 4 inch by 16 inch size from another brand?
The Rockwood 71 is offered in 3 inch by 12 inch and 4 inch by 16 inch sizes in stainless steel with four beveled edges. Delaney offers a 4 inch by 16 inch push plate (DLY-490xxx) in the same nominal plate size, so it covers an opening already prepped for a 4 x 16 push plate. Emtek also makes push and pull plates in its Modern and Knoxville series if the look matters more than matching a stainless commercial plate.
7) I need a pull on the plate, not just a flat push plate - what should I order instead of the Rockwood 71?
The Rockwood 71 is a flat push plate with no handle, intended for the push side of the door. For the pull side, Ives 8302 is a heavy duty pull plate with through bolt mounting and Ives 8303 is a heavy duty pull plate with 8 inch or 10 inch center-to-center mounting. Trimco offers cast pull plates as well: the 1010 series with a 5 inch CTC pull, the 1012 tapered with 5.5 inch CTC, the 1013 round with 5.5 inch CTC, and the 1014 half-round with a 6 inch CTC pull. Delaney lists pull plates in 3-1/2 by 15 inch and 4 by 16 inch sizes.
8) The existing plates on my doors are 3-1/2 inches by 15 inches - does the Rockwood 71 match?
No. The Rockwood 71 push plate is built in 3 inch by 12 inch and 4 inch by 16 inch sizes, so neither will cover the screw pattern or footprint of a 3-1/2 by 15 inch plate. For that size, Delaney lists a 3-1/2 inch by 15 inch push plate (DLY-4905xx) and a matching 3-1/2 inch by 15 inch pull plate (DLY-4900xx). Rockwood does make the 71 in custom sizes on request if you need the plates to stay one brand across the building.
9) Can I get a push plate with a cutout for the cylinder or thumbturn?
Yes. The Rockwood 71 can be ordered with a cylinder cutout (CFC) or a turn knob cutout (CFTT) at Rockwood's standard locations and sizes. That is how you use a push plate on a door that also has a mortise lock or a deadbolt on the push side, instead of trimming around it.
10) Is 0.062 gauge stainless heavy enough for a high traffic door?
0.062 inch is Rockwood's standard gauge for the 71, in stainless steel, with four beveled edges so there is no sharp corner to catch a hand or a cart. For school corridors, offices, hotels, and similar traffic that is the normal specification. For doors that take cart and equipment abuse, a heavier cast plate such as the Trimco 1010 Series is the heavier duty route, though that is a pull plate rather than a push plate.
11) What finish is the Rockwood 71 push plate and will it match my other door hardware?
US32D, satin stainless steel. That is the most widely used commercial finish, so it will sit correctly next to satin stainless pulls, hinges, and exit device trim on the same opening. If your building is on a brass or bronze scheme, this is not the plate for it.
12) What else could I use instead of the Rockwood 71 push plate?
If you want the same commercial footprint from another brand, Delaney makes a 4 x 16 inch push plate and a 3-1/2 x 15 inch push plate. For a decorative opening rather than an institutional one, Emtek's Knoxville, Modern, and Petal push and pull plate lines are the design-led alternative, with Petal in lost wax cast bronze. The Rockwood 71 is the plain architectural option built to ANSI A156.6.
13) Is the Rockwood 71 handed, and does it matter which side of the door it goes on?
No handing. It is a flat rectangular plate with four beveled edges, symmetrical, so one part works on either leaf of a pair and in either orientation. Mount it on the push side, typically centered on the stile at about 45 inches to center, which keeps it in reach and clear of the lock. There is no left or right version to specify.
14) Is the Rockwood 71 the right push plate to use with an exit device trim?
The Rockwood 71 is a standalone stainless push plate mounted with #6 x 5/8 inch oval head sheet metal screws, and it is not built around any particular exit device. If the plate has to work with a Detex Value Series exit device, Detex makes the P/PN series pull plate specifically for those devices, which keeps the prep and mounting matched to the device rather than freehanded on the door.
15) What is a more decorative alternative to the Rockwood 71 push plate for a hospitality or high-end residential door?
The Rockwood 71 is a plain stainless steel plate with four beveled edges, built to ANSI A156.6 J301 for commercial use. If the door calls for something ornamental, Emtek offers push and pull plates in the Modern and Knoxville series, and the Petal series is lost wax cast bronze. Those are styled pieces rather than flat utility plates, so confirm the plate size against the existing door prep before switching.
16) For a high traffic door where screws keep working loose, is there a heavier alternative to the Rockwood 71?
The Rockwood 71 is a 0.062 gauge stainless plate fastened with #6 x 5/8 inch oval head sheet metal screws, and it can be ordered with TEK self-drilling or security Torx screws. On the pull side of a heavily used door, Ives 8302 is a heavy duty pull plate that mounts with through bolts, which carries the load through the door rather than into the face skin. Trimco 1010, 1012 and 1013 are cast heavy duty pull plates as well.
17) Do the Trimco and Ives pull plates cover the same hole pattern as a Rockwood 71 push plate?
Do not assume so. The Rockwood 71 is a flat push plate using #6 x 5/8 inch oval head sheet metal screws through the plate face. The Ives 8303 pull plate is specified by pull center-to-center, 8 inch or 10 inch, and the Trimco cast pull plates are specified the same way - 5 inch CTC on the 1010, 5.5 inch on the 1012 and 1013, and 6 inch on the 1014. Those CTC dimensions describe the pull, not the plate screw pattern, so measure the existing plate and its holes before swapping a push plate for a pull plate on the same door.
18) I need a push plate with no visible screws - what are my options?
The Rockwood 71 can be ordered with SA self-adhesive mounting, which uses 1/16 inch double face foam tape and leaves no screw holes in the plate, or with security Torx screws if a fastened plate is required but tamper resistance matters. Among other push plates, Delaney offers 3-1/2 by 15 inch and 4 by 16 inch push plates and Emtek offers the Modern and Knoxville series, so confirm the mounting method with those before specifying a screwless face.
19) Can I get a matching push and pull set rather than mixing the Rockwood 71 with another brand?
The Rockwood 71 is sold as a push plate on its own, in 3 inch by 12 inch and 4 inch by 16 inch. If you want both sides from one series, Delaney pairs a 4 inch by 16 inch push plate with a 4 inch by 16 inch pull plate, and a 3-1/2 by 15 inch push plate with a matching 3-1/2 by 15 inch pull plate. Emtek's Modern, Knoxville and Petal offerings are also sold as push and pull plates within one style.
20) Can I put room numbers or PUSH lettering on a Rockwood 71 plate?
Yes, on plates 4 inches wide or wider, so the 4 x 16 size takes engraving and the 3 x 12 does not. You specify the copy with the order and Rockwood uses its standard engraving locations. Useful for facilities standardizing signage and door trim into one part.
