HOW MANY PLATE LOCKS DO I NEED?

Plate Locks install around the outside perimeter of the steel plate crossing. To determine how many you need, follow these simple steps:

  1. Measure the plate length and width.
  2. Calculate the perimeter:
    Perimeter (ft) = 2 × (Length + Width)
  3. For multiple plates:
    • If plates touch each other, measure only the outside perimeter.
    • Do NOT count internal seams.
    • If plates do not touch, calculate each plate separately.
  4. Select the correct kit size based on total linear feet required.
Quick Example:
4' × 8' plate → Perimeter = 24 ft → 1 × 30' kit
6' × 12' plate → Perimeter = 36 ft → 1 × 40' kit
