What product categories does Rockwood manufacture?

What materials are Rockwood products available in?
Rockwood hardware is available in solid brass, stainless steel (304 and 316 grades), aluminum, and bronze. Finishes include satin, polished, oil-rubbed bronze, and powder-coated options. Select products are also available with antimicrobial coatings for healthcare and food-service environments.
How do you specify Rockwood pulls for ADA-compliant openings?
Rockwood offers barrier-free pull configurations designed to meet ADA requirements. These pulls feature smooth returns, appropriate projection dimensions, and mounting heights that comply with accessibility standards. The specific pull model and mounting location should be verified against the applicable edition of ICC A117.1 or local accessibility code.
What is the difference between a kick plate and a mop plate?
A kick plate is typically 6 to 10 inches high and protects the lower portion of the door from foot traffic and cart impact. A mop plate is typically 4 inches high and mounts at the very bottom of the door to protect against wet mop contact and cleaning chemicals. Both are mounted on the push side of the door.
How do you select the correct door stop type for a commercial opening?
The stop type depends on the installation conditions. Floor stops are used where the door swings over a hard floor surface. Wall stops are used when the door could contact an adjacent wall. Overhead stops are used in environments where floor-mounted stops present trip hazards or sanitation concerns, such as healthcare facilities and clean rooms.
