Norton 638 Low Profile Wireless Push Plate — 36 x 6 | 433 MHz RF | Finish 32D

The Norton 638 Low Profile Push Plate is a wireless automatic door operator actuator designed for commercial accessibility applications. Operating on a 433 MHz RF signal, the 638 transmits a hands-free activation command to compatible Norton low-energy automatic door operators without the need for hardwired connections — making it the ideal solution for retrofit installations and locations where running conduit is impractical or cost-prohibitive. This is the wireless model (638); it is not the 639 hardwired push plate.

At 36 inches wide by 6 inches tall, the 638 offers a large, ADA-friendly activation surface in a slim, low-profile housing that installs cleanly on walls, sidelites, and door frames in high-traffic commercial environments. The 32D finish (satin stainless steel) provides a professional, corrosion-resistant appearance suited to healthcare, education, government, and retail facilities.

Key Features & Benefits

• Wireless 433 MHz RF Transmission: Eliminates conduit runs to the operator, reducing installation labor and disruption — ideal for retrofit and remodel projects.
• Large 36 x 6 Activation Surface: Oversized plate is easy to locate and activate, supporting accessible design goals in high-traffic corridors and entryways.
• Low-Profile Housing: Slim form factor mounts flush to the wall without protruding hardware, meeting aesthetic requirements in institutional and commercial interiors.
• 32D Satin Stainless Steel Finish: Durable, corrosion-resistant surface that blends with contemporary commercial hardware specifications.
• Compatible with Norton Low-Energy Operators: Designed to work with Norton 4500, 5200, 5700, 5800, 6200, and 6300 series low-energy automatic door operators (2-year warranty on those operator series).
• No Hardwiring Required: Battery-operated wireless transmitter simplifies code compliance and reduces coordination with electrical trades.

Typical Applications

• Healthcare facilities — patient corridors, exam rooms, and accessible restrooms
• Education — classroom wings, administrative offices, and library entries
• Government and municipal buildings requiring ADA-compliant automatic door access
• Retail and hospitality retrofit projects where conduit installation is not feasible
• Any commercial opening paired with a Norton low-energy swing door operator
