Frequently Asked Questions

1. What Are Corner Guards?

Corner Guards
 - 
wall corner guards, or corner protectors, are a type of wall bump protection that reinforce and protect corners that are prone to collisions. This can help reduce cosmetic and structural damage. They are available in various widths to meet your specific requirements. We offer metal (aluminum) diamond plate corner guards.
2. What Is Diamond Plate?

Diamond Plate
 - 
diamond plate, also commonly known as tread plate or checker plate, is a type of metal sheet with a pattern of raised diamond-like protrusions on one side and smooth on the other. Diamond plate is usually steel, stainless steel or aluminum.

Our corner and wall guard, door armor, kick and mop plates are custom cut and formed at our warehouse using .063 thick, mirror-finish aluminum Diamond Plate.

3. Kick, Mop, Wall & Armor Plate - What's the difference?

Kick, Mop, Wall & Armor Plate
 - 
the difference is mainly semantic, as a way to better categorize and differentiate the products by intended usage and where they will be applied.

So some fast and loose definitions:

Kick plates are used where a door may be 'kicked' open with a foot. In the real world they can also help protect your door against collisions by feet, wheelchair footrests, hand trucks and so on. They are usually attached to the push side of a door. Typical heights may range from 10"-16".

Armor Plates are desirable where higher profile carts and other contrivances are pushed through doors. Armor plates are also installed on the push-side of doors and typical heights range from 18"-48". (Note: there may be special requirements for installing plates on fire rated doors so please do your due diligence).

Wall Guard are typically used to protect hallways, especially where freight, carts, wheel chairs or similar traffic can damage the walls. They can be any height depending on your specific traffic, but generally range from 6"-48" in height.

Mop Plates are usually installed on the pull side of doors and typical heights are 4"-8". These generally offer protection to the door's finish from brooms, mops and vacuum cleaners.

Note: Diamond Plate can offer some limited protection (depending on thickness and other factors) to pedestrians or employee areas that may share a wall with warehouse and similar areas. It may also be used to harden some areas subject to criminal entry i.e. around door frames, locksets etc.

Door, Wall & Corner Guards: Overview

Protect and secure your facility with diamond plate panels, corner guards & kick plates. This lightweight aluminum plate is most often used to protect edges, doors and walls. It can also help to enhance security, reduce wear, and protect employees and customers.

The added texture can be used to reduce the risk of slipping, making diamond plate a potential solution for stairs, catwalks, walkways, and ramps in industrial settings. Additional uses may include edging steps, truck beds and trailer floors to protect and reduce slippage.

Diamond plate can also be used decoratively and to provide some surface protection from foot and freight traffic common in self-storage and industrial settings like that from carts and handtrucks. These are common uses but you must evaluate the suitability of the same for your unique situation.

Please note: your state may have regulations regarding suitability, gauge, fire ratings, attachment methods or other requirements related to mounting aluminum or steel plate on fire doors, or on hospital doors or other application specific situations. Our listing of known and potential uses of these products does not imply they are suitable for your particular situation. Please be sure to do your due-diligence and obey any local building laws, rules, guidelines or ordinances.
