Rockwood K1038 Metal Kick Plate - Economy Duty

Standard fastening is #6 x 5/8 inch oval head sheet metal screws. Three alternatives can be specified: TORX for security Torx screws where you need tamper resistance, TEK for self drilling screws into hollow metal, and SA for self adhesive mounting when you would rather not drill the door at all.

The Rockwood K1038 is a stainless steel door protection plate in a US32D satin finish. The nearest equivalents are the Hager 190S kick plate, which is also satin stainless steel with four beveled edges, and the Ives 8400 series stainless steel door protection plate with beveled edges. All three are stainless protection plates for the lower face of a door, so a facility standardizing on satin stainless trim can mix them on the same opening group and keep the appearance consistent.

If four beveled edges is a hard requirement on your submittal, the Hager 190S is specified as a satin stainless steel kick plate with 4 beveled edges, and the Ives 8400 series stainless plate is described with beveled edges as well. The Rockwood K1038 is an economy duty stainless plate supplied with #6 x 5/8 inch oval head sheet metal screws, with options for self-adhesive mounting, security Torx screws, self-drilling TEK screws, and cutouts for locks, louvers, or windows - so choose it when fastening method and cutouts drive the selection.

Yes. The K1038 can be ordered with cutouts for locks, louvers or windows, which is what you need when the plate is tall enough to run into a mortise lock, a door louver or the bottom of a vision lite. Give the cutout locations off the door edge and bottom rail when you order.

Screws win on a high traffic opening. The standard #6 x 5/8 oval head sheet metal screws hold the plate flat and let you replace it without residue; TEK self drilling screws do the same on hollow metal without pre-drilling. The SA self adhesive option makes sense on aluminum or glass front doors where you do not want to breach the face, or where a tenant will not allow drilling, but adhesive plates lift at the corners under cart and foot traffic.

The K1038 is the economy duty stainless plate in the Rockwood line, built for commercial openings in offices, retail, education, hotels and similar buildings. It covers general corridor and classroom traffic well. On carts-and-gurneys openings where the plate takes repeated impact, step up to a heavier gauge armor plate rather than the economy duty version.

Yes, standardizing is straightforward. The K1038 is stainless steel in US32D satin stainless, so every plate ordered across the property carries the same finish regardless of size, and you can mix the 12 x 34 kick plates on standard doors with 34 x 22, 34 x 34 or 34 x 40 armor and stretcher plates on your heavier traffic openings without a finish mismatch.

Yes, as long as the replacement is ordered in the same plate size and finish. The Rockwood K1038 is a stainless steel protection plate offered in sizes including 12 x 34 inch, 34 x 22 inch, 34 x 34 inch, and 34 x 40 inch. The Hager 190S is a satin stainless steel kick plate and the Ives 8400 is a stainless steel door protection plate, so the substrate and appearance carry over; match the height and width to the existing plate so the old fastener holes are covered.

The Rockwood K1038 is the one carrying the ANSI/BHMA J102 designation for commercial use, which is what most architectural specifications call out for a kick plate. The Hager 190S and the Ives 8400 series are both stainless steel door protection plates and are visually comparable, so they suit openings where the spec is written by material and size rather than by BHMA designation.
