Kick Plate
Kick plates are protective metal panels mounted at the bottom of doors, shielding finish from shoe scuffs, pet scratches, and everyday abuse. This practical hardware preserves door appearance while adding visual interest.
Beyond protection, kick plates contribute to entry presence—a brass kick plate signals quality in ways subtle but significant. The size, material, and finish affect both function and aesthetic impact.
