Door pulls and push plates are used on doors which do not latch. They are available in
hundreds of styles, sizes and finishes. Door pulls should be through bolted to the door and
push plates should beveled and be provided with counter-sunk screws to mount them.
The reinforcing channel provided in Fleming ‘blank’ doors, as shown in Figure 156 on Page
111, is typically used for this application.

Protective plates, manufactured from corrosion resistant materials such as stainless steel,
are surface applied to one or both faces of hollow metal doors. They are generally 16 gage
material and have a brushed finish. They range in height from 6” to 16” when used in
typical commercial applications. Plates designed to protect door faces in hospitals from
stretchers and carts can be as tall as 42”. They should also be provided with counter-sunk
screws for mounting.
A number of hardware companies also manufacture edge guards of similar material.
These are angles or channels applied to the leading lock edge of the door to protect the
finish from being damaged.
