How to Remove Magnetic Door Kick Plates

Kick plates come in different sizes and styles. One kick plate available is a magnetic kick plate. Magnetic kick plates are easy to install without damaging the door. Since they are magnetic, you can only install them on metal doors. Removing the magnetic kick plate will only take you a minute and does not damage the door.
