Premium Don-Jo 90 Metal Kick Plate: Dark Anodized Aluminum, 28"W x 6"H, 3/64" Thick – Reliable Protection for Doors Review

got this for our black door to prevent dogs from scratching the paintwork. We've used it vertically and it works great - dogs still scratch but no harm now!

There was not enough packaging to avoid bending during transport. Only the top was painted black, so there is a light aluminum border around my black door. And there are probably 3 different finish colors in the pack of self tapping screws none of which struck me as black so they don't match very well.

This item was originally purchased for use on my back door but was intended to be mounted vertically starting just below the doorknob. My only dog loves to paw at the back door to get in and thought it would be a good idea to put him in that spot. The current products for this particular paw or scratching problem look ridiculous and I thought it was a much better idea. I have not installed this skid plate yet as the tailgate was recently painted and I am waiting for the paint to dry before…
