Commercial Door Protection: Rockwood Mfg & Don-Jo Solutions
Shield your facility’s openings from heavy impact and ensure long-term durability with our commercial door protection collection. At DoorwaysPlus, we combine the high-performance shielding of Rockwood Mfg kick plates and door edging with the precision-engineered Don-Jo Door Wrap Arounds. This professional-grade inventory is designed to meet ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 standards, providing a critical defense for doors in high-traffic hospitals, schools, and industrial hubs. Whether you are using armor plates to deflect heavy cart impact or reinforcers to repair a damaged lock prep, our stainless steel solutions maintain your door’s structural integrity and UL fire-rating.
Kick Plates
Rockwood Kick Plates are the industry standard for protecting the bottom of the "push" side of a door from foot-traffic damage. Our most popular model, the Rockwood K1050, features a .050" thick metal construction with four beveled edges for a clean, safe profile. These plates are UL listed for use on fire-rated wood and metal doors, making them the essential choice for commercial corridors and restrooms where durability and code compliance are mandatory.
Armor Plates
For environments facing heavy equipment impact, such as hospital service corridors or loading docks, Rockwood Armor Plates provide extended vertical protection. Typically ranging from 18" to 48" in height, these heavy-duty shields cover the lower half of the door to absorb shock from carts, gurneys, and pallets. Like our kick plates, these are available in Satin Stainless Steel (US32D) for maximum corrosion resistance and longevity.
Door Edging
Door Edging (or edge guards) reinforces the most vulnerable part of any door: the vertical edge. Rockwood offers both mortised and non-mortised door edges to prevent splintering on wood doors and denting on metal doors. These guards are particularly effective on double-door sets or doors equipped with exit devices, providing a seamless layer of protection that maintains the door's structural integrity.
Door Protection (Rod Covers & Bars)
Our specialized door protection hardware is designed to safeguard your most expensive hardware: the locking mechanism. Rockwood Vertical Rod Covers shield the exposed rods of surface-applied panic hardware, preventing them from being bent or dislodged by passing carts. Similarly, Door Protection Bars (such as the Rockwood R115LPB extend across the door to act as a "bumper," taking the impact from carts before they can strike and damage lever locks or exit device touchpads.
Door Wrap Arounds (Door Reinforcers)
When a door is damaged at the lockset or needs extra strength for a security upgrade, Don-Jo Door Wrap Arounds are the industry-leading solution. These stainless steel reinforcers "wrap" around the edge of the door to provide a rigid mounting surface for cylindrical or mortise locks, covering existing damage and preventing "door spread" under heavy use.
Replacement Fasteners
Secure installation is critical to the performance of door protection hardware. We stock a full range of Rockwood fasteners, including standard stainless steel TEK screws.
