Trimco TRI-KM038-630-6X48 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the difference between the Trimco KM038, KM050 and KM064 mop plates?
Gauge, and that is the only difference in the naming. The KM038 is a .038 inch thick mop plate, the KM050 is .050 inch and the KM064 is .064 inch. All three are mop plates 6 inches high or less. Trimco's standard protection plate material is .050 inch, so the KM038 is the lighter option and the KM064 the heavier one for openings that take repeated cart or mop contact.
2) What is a mop plate and where on the door does it go?
A mop plate mounts on the bottom of the door face to take the abuse from mop heads, buckets and cleaning carts. The Trimco KM series is held to 6 inches high or less, which is what separates it from a kick plate. If you want coverage further up the door against foot and cart traffic, you want a taller kick plate rather than a KM mop plate.
3) Is the Trimco KM038 mop plate ADA compliant?
Yes, the KM038 is flagged ADA compliant. Being a mop plate 6 inches high or less, it sits within the bottom of the door and does not interfere with the smooth bottom surface requirements the way a projecting piece of hardware would.
4) Do the screws come with the Trimco KM series protection plates?
Fasteners ship with the plate, packed separately from it so the finished face does not get scratched in transit. On stretcher plates Trimco supplies oval head screws as standard. If your spec calls for tamper resistance, security screws are an available option, and countersinking is offered as well.
5) Can I get a UL labeled mop plate from Trimco for a fire rated door?
UL labeling is one of the listed options on Trimco's protection plates, so it has to be called out when the plate is ordered rather than assumed on a standard plate. Specify it up front along with any heavy bevel, countersinking or custom cutout your opening needs.
6) Is the Trimco KM038 mop plate made of solid stainless, and what other materials are offered?
The KM038 as supplied is stainless steel. Across the Trimco protection plate line the standard materials are stainless steel, brass, bronze or aluminum, all made in the USA, with gauges of .038, .050, .062 and .125 inch plus custom options. If you are matching bronze or brass hardware elsewhere in the building, those substrates exist in the series.
7) What are the edges of the Trimco KM mop plate like, and can I get a heavier bevel?
Pencil bevel on all four edges is standard on every Trimco protection plate, which takes the sharpness off the exposed perimeter. Heavy bevel is available as an option if the spec calls for it, and it comes standard on stretcher plates.
8) Is the Trimco KM038 mop plate suitable for a school or hotel corridor door?
It is a commercial grade product, and Trimco lists the KM protection plates for commercial and industrial buildings, hospitality, K-12 schools, office buildings and retail or strip malls. In high traffic corridors where housekeeping carts hit the door bottom daily, many specifiers step up from the .038 inch KM038 to the .050 inch KM050 or .064 inch KM064.
