Rockwood 70REC-US26D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What screws come with the Rockwood 73 push plate, and will they work on a hollow metal door?
The Rockwood 73 push plate ships with #6 x 5/8 inch oval head sheet metal screws. Those bite fine into wood doors and into pre-drilled hollow metal. If you're going into hollow metal without pre-drilling, order the TEK option for self-drilling screws instead. TORX security screws are also offered where you need tamper resistance on a public restroom or corridor door.
2) Can I install a Rockwood push plate without drilling holes in the door?
Yes, if you order it with the SA option. That is self-adhesive mounting using 1/16 inch double face foam tape, and the plate comes with no screw holes. It's the usual pick for glass or for a finished door you don't want to prep. Standard plates are screw-mounted with #6 x 5/8 inch oval head sheet metal screws.
3) Does the Rockwood 73 push plate meet ANSI standards for a commercial job spec?
It's built to ANSI A156.6, type J304, which is the standard that covers architectural door trim including push plates. The product is classed commercial, so it's the kind of trim that gets specified on institutional, office, retail, school, hotel and detention openings.
4) What can I use on the pull side of the door if the Rockwood 73REA push plate goes on the push side?
The Rockwood 73REA is a flat push plate with four beveled edges and no pull attached, so the opposite face of the door needs a separate pull plate. Options include the Ives 8302 heavy duty pull plate with through bolt mounting, the Ives 8303 heavy duty pull plate offered in 8 inch or 10 inch center-to-center, the Trimco 1010 Series cast pull plate with 5 inch CTC, or the Delaney 4 inch by 16 inch door pull plate. Pick the center-to-center that suits the hand grip your facility standard calls for.
5) Is the Ives 8302 pull plate a direct substitute for the Rockwood 73REA push plate?
No. The Rockwood 73REA is a flat push plate, a bare plate meant to take hand pressure on the push side of the door. The Ives 8302 is a pull plate with a pull bar and through bolt mounting, so it is used where someone grips and pulls. They are used on opposite faces of the same opening rather than one replacing the other.
6) Which push plate should I specify when the job calls out ANSI A156.6?
The Rockwood 73REA is built to ANSI A156.6, J304, and is a commercial-rated plate, so it answers a spec written to that standard directly. The Emtek Knoxville, Modern and Petal push and pull plates are styled decorative sets and are chosen on appearance rather than to satisfy an A156.6 callout.
7) I cannot drill the door face - what push plate option works?
The Rockwood 73REA can be ordered with SA self-adhesive mounting, which uses 1/16 inch double face foam tape and comes with no screw holes in the plate. The comparable pull plates take mechanical fastening instead - for example the Ives 8302 mounts with through bolts - so where drilling is off the table the self-adhesive Rockwood plate is the one to specify.
8) What finish does the Rockwood push plate come in, and will it match my other satin door hardware?
It's supplied in 626 satin chrome, which is the standard commercial satin finish on levers, closers and exit trim, so it lines up with most existing satin hardware in an office or school corridor. The plate body is stainless steel with four beveled edges.
9) What are some larger push plate alternatives if 3 x 12 is too small for my doors?
Delaney makes push plates in 3-1/2 x 15 inch and 4 x 16 inch sizes, both of which cover more of the stile and more of the old prep on a retrofit. Matching pull plates are offered in those same two sizes if you're doing both faces of the opening.
10) Will a push plate work on a door that has an exit device?
Not on the push side, since the exit device crossbar is already the pushing surface. On the pull side of a valued-series Detex exit device, the matching P/PN Series pull plate is made for it. A flat push plate like the Rockwood 73 belongs on a door with no device, where the stile itself takes the hand.
11) What is a more decorative alternative to the Rockwood 73REA for a hospitality or residential entry?
The Rockwood 73REA is a plain stainless steel plate with beveled edges, styled for institutional, office, educational and detention openings. Where a finished interior calls for something more ornamental, Emtek offers push and pull plates in the Knoxville and Modern series, and a lost wax cast bronze Petal series. Those are styled sets rather than flat utility plates.
12) The door has a cylinder or thumbturn in the way - does the Rockwood 73REA work, or do I need a different plate?
The Rockwood 73REA can be ordered with a cylinder cutout (CFC) or a turn knob cutout (CFTT) at standard locations, so the plate itself does not have to be swapped out to clear the trim. If the opening is a Detex Value Series exit device instead, the Detex P/PN Series pull plate is the piece made to go with that device.
13) For a high-traffic opening, how do the heavy duty pull plates differ from one another?
Among the heavy duty cast options, the Trimco 1010 Series has a 5 inch center-to-center pull, the Trimco 1012 is a cast tapered plate with a 5.5 inch CTC pull, and the Trimco 1013 uses a round pull at 5.5 inch CTC. The Trimco 1014 Series carries a half-round pull at 6 inch CTC. The Ives 8302 uses through bolt mounting, which carries load through the door rather than into the face only. The Rockwood 73REA pairs with any of them on the push side, fastened with #6 x 5/8 inch OH SMS or optional TEK self-drilling or security Torx screws.
14) Is the Rockwood 73 push plate too plain for a hotel or high-end residential door?
It's a plain stainless blank with beveled edges, built for traffic rather than decoration, and that's what you want in a corridor or back of house. For guest-facing or residential openings where the trim is part of the design, Emtek's decorative push and pull plate sets are the alternative, including the Modern, Knoxville, and lost wax cast bronze Petal patterns.
