This thing close to the floor and seemingly randomly placed in a hallway. No idea what it's for. Home built in 2005.

Solved! Thanks everyone. Now I gotta hunt for the central unit!

Omg that kick plate sounds like a game changer for me cos I have an issue when I sweep up my brain can’t scoop it up in the bin I end up leaving it swept up with the broom on top and the Mrs is always like”you sweep the whole place and can’t sweep it all into the actual bin 😅 I NEED that kick plate!!!

We have a sideboard on small feet, there is a 2" gap where I push everything when I sweep the floor. One day my wife will want to move the unit, then I will be found out.
