At The Lock Doc, we offer professional door plate installation for residential, commercial, and industrial doors — ensuring a perfect fit and lasting protection.
What Are Door Plates?
Door plates (also known as reinforcement plates, kick plates, or latch guards) are metal accessories installed around a door’s handle, lock, or bottom section to protect it from wear, damage, or tampering.
Not All Door Plates Are the Same
Depending on your needs, there are several types of door plates available:
- Kick Plates – mounted at the bottom to prevent scuffing or damage
- Push Plates – used on doors that open manually without a handle
- Pull Plates – paired with pull handles for easy opening
- Latch Guard Plates – installed near the lock to prevent prying
- Wrap-Around Plates – reinforce the area around the knob or deadbolt
Each plate has a different use and level of protection. Our team can recommend the right one for your door and security goals.
