kick plate
Bottom door armor
A kick plate is a protective metal or plastic panel installed at the bottom of a door, typically on the push side.
It shields the door's finish from scuff marks, scratches, and damage caused by feet, shoes, or equipment bumping against it.
Common in commercial buildings, hospitals, and high-traffic areas: The stainless steel kick plate showed years of wear from delivery carts.
