Commercial Push Plates
At National Lock Supply, we carry a broad selection of commercial push plates engineered to protect the pushing side of your door and keep it looking its best. Push plates are essential in high-traffic commercial environments — they absorb the impact of hands and carts, preventing scuffs, dents, and wear on the door surface. Available in stainless steel, brass, and aluminum with a variety of finishes, our push plates are built for durability and designed to complement any architectural hardware palette.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a push plate?
A push plate is a flat protective plate mounted on the pushing side of a door. It shields the door surface from hand contact, fingerprints, and impact, extending the door's life and keeping it clean.
Why do I need a push plate on a commercial door?
In high-traffic environments, the pushing side of a door takes constant abuse. Without a push plate, the door can become scuffed, dented, or stained over time. Push plates are a simple, cost-effective way to protect your investment.
What materials and finishes are available?
Commercial push plates are commonly made from stainless steel, brass, or aluminum. Popular finishes include satin chrome, satin brass, oil-rubbed bronze, and flat black.
What size push plate should I use?
Standard push plates range from about 6" to 20" in height. For a commercial door, a plate that covers the common push zone — roughly the middle third of the door — provides the best protection.
Do push plates require special mounting hardware?
Most push plates use standard screws for surface mounting. Some models have adhesive backing for quick installation. Choose screw-mounted plates for commercial applications where durability is a priority.
