An Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Brass, Antique Brass or Satin Nickel kick plate is a great way to add the finishing touch to any front entryway system or create a brand new theme for your front door hardware. Oil Rubbed Bronze finishes is a chemically created finish to simulate aged bronze. Depending on the item being finished the appearance can vary from a deep brown to almost black (many items have slight copper undertones depending on complexity of design). Kick plates provide extra protection to an especially vulnerable section of your door and help protect the wood or metal from scratches and gouges over time.

Oil rubbed bronze is a beautiful and dramatic finish that looks great on kick plates, doorknob sets, doorbells and door knockers. By using a common theme you can use different shapes and patterns on your front door hardware and it will tie itself together nicely. Oil rubbed bronze works well on light and darker doors (the lighter colored the door the greater the contrast).

Kick plates are produced today – allowing you to add them to your current (or new) entryway system. It is a simple way to enhance the durability of your door and complete the look of your entryway. There are a few simple steps to follow when selecting a new kick plate for your door. First, measure carefully – kick plates are not the width of the door – allow ½ inch of extra room on either side of the kick plate for proper installation and function. Second, remember to pay attention to the type of mount needed (magnetic kick plates will not work of wooden doors and screw mount might be compatible on a metal door). Note: By adding a kick plate to your exterior door it will tie together the rest of your door hardware.
