kickplates
Metal door shields
Kickplates are protective metal or plastic panels mounted at the bottom of doors, typically on the push side.
They shield the door's surface from scuffs and damage caused by feet, shoes, or wheeled objects like carts and wheelchairs.
Common in commercial buildings, hospitals, and restaurants where doors see heavy traffic: The stainless steel kickplate was dented from years of use.
