Frequently Asked Questions

What is a pull plate?

A pull plate is a flat or slightly contoured plate mounted on the pulling side of a door that includes a grip or handle area. It allows users to open the door while protecting the door surface from hand contact.

How do pull plates differ from door pulls?

Door pulls are typically separate handles mounted between rosettes or brackets, while pull plates are a single integrated unit — a flat plate with a built-in grip. Pull plates offer a cleaner, more flush look on the door.

What finishes are available for pull plates?

We carry pull plates in satin chrome, satin brass, oil-rubbed bronze, stainless steel, and flat black, among others. Finishes are chosen to match popular architectural hardware lines.

Are pull plates ADA compliant?

Yes, when the grip portion meets ADA diameter and clearance requirements. Look for plates with a grip diameter between 1-1/4" and 2" and verify the mounting clearance against your local code.

What size pull plate do I need?

Standard commercial pull plates range from 3" to 20" in length. Choose a size that fits your door width and provides a comfortable grip for users. Taller doors or high-traffic openings may call for a longer plate.
