Trimco KA0050 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What gauge material is the Trimco KA0050 kick plate?
The KA0050 designation is the .050 inch thickness in Trimco's KA protection plate line, and .050 inch stainless steel, brass, bronze or aluminum is the standard heavy duty material. If your spec calls for something lighter or heavier, Trimco also makes these plates in .038, .062 and .125 inch. The stainless steel version is the substrate carried here.
2) Is a Trimco KA kick plate acceptable on an ADA opening?
Yes. The KA0050 stainless kick plate is listed ADA compliant, which is what a school or healthcare specifier is checking before it goes on a pull-side door face.
3) Can I get a Trimco KA kick plate for a fire rated door?
UL labeling is one of the factory options on the KA protection plates, along with heavy bevel, countersinking and security screws. The label has to be specified on the order, so call it out when you place it rather than assuming a standard plate carries it.
4) What is a simpler alternative to the Trimco KA0050 kick plate for a residential or light-duty door?
The Delaney 6 inch x 34 inch kick plate with screws is a straightforward pre-sized plate that ships with its mounting screws, and Delaney also offers an 8 inch x 34 inch anodized version. The Trimco KA0050 is a commercial protection plate made from stainless steel with a pencil bevel on all four edges standard and options such as UL labeling, heavy bevel, countersinking, security screws and custom cutouts. If the door is a standard 34 inch leaf and you only need basic face protection, the fixed-size Delaney plates cover it; if the opening needs a specific height, cutouts for existing hardware or a labeled plate, the Trimco KA series is the one built for that.
5) For a school or hospital corridor door, should I use a Trimco KA0050 plate or a Delaney anodized kick plate?
The Trimco KA0050 is specified as commercial and is aimed at commercial and industrial buildings, hospitality, K-12 schools, offices and retail, with stainless steel construction and optional UL labeling for fire-rated openings. The Delaney 8 inch x 34 inch anodized kick plate is a fixed-size plate supplied with screws. For an institution standardizing on one plate across many doors, including labeled fire doors, the KA series carries the commercial designation and the UL labeling option; the Delaney plate suits a single door where the 8 x 34 size already fits.
6) Will the edges of a Trimco KA plate catch on shoes or mop heads?
All four sides come pencil beveled as standard, so there's no raw sheared edge sitting proud of the door face. Heavy bevel is available if you want a flatter transition, and it comes standard on the stretcher plates along with oval head screws.
7) Do I need to order screws separately with a Trimco KA kick plate?
Fasteners ship with the plate. Trimco packages them separated from the plate face so the screws don't scuff the finish in transit. If the doors are in a public corridor or a school, ask for the security screw option so the plate can't be unscrewed by hand.
8) Can I get a kick plate cut around a door bottom sweep or a vision lite?
Yes. Custom cutouts, sizes and shapes are part of the KA program, so a plate can be made to clear a sweep, a pull, a louver or an odd door width. Standard stock sizes cover most openings; the cutout route is for when the hardware on the door won't let a rectangle sit flat.
9) Is a stainless kick plate worth it over an anodized aluminum one for a school corridor?
For K-12 corridors, hospitality and retail entries, the .050 stainless KA plate is the heavier duty answer, and it's built for commercial service. If the opening is light traffic and you mainly want coverage at the right size, an anodized aluminum plate like the Delaney 8 inch x 34 inch kick plate, which ships with screws, covers a standard 36 inch door leaf with the usual 2 inch side clearance. Bronze and brass are also offered in the Trimco line when the plate has to match existing door trim.
10) Do the Delaney kick plates come in the same custom sizes as the Trimco KA0050?
No. The Delaney plates are sold at set sizes, 6 inch x 34 inch and 8 inch x 34 inch. The Trimco KA0050 protection plate is offered with custom cutouts, sizes and shapes to meet job specifications, along with material thickness options beyond the standard .050 inch. If a drawing calls out a height or width that is not a stock dimension, or the plate has to clear an existing lock or closer bracket, the KA series is the one that can be made to that dimension.
11) Are Delaney kick plates a direct replacement for a Trimco KA0050 plate?
Only if the existing plate measures out to a Delaney stock size. Delaney offers a 6 inch x 34 inch plate and an 8 inch x 34 inch anodized plate, each supplied with screws. A Trimco KA0050 already in the door may have been ordered at a non-stock height or with cutouts, and it is stainless steel with a pencil bevel on all four edges. Measure the plate coming off and check the screw pattern before swapping; where the sizes do not line up, reorder the KA plate to the same dimensions rather than filling old holes.
12) Are Trimco protection plates made in the USA?
Yes, the KA series plates are manufactured in the United States, which matters if you're buying against a government or institutional spec with a domestic sourcing requirement.
