Door Trim & Latch Protection – Reinforce Security with Latch Guards
Posted by ZenSupply Product Guru on Jun 23rd 2025
Strengthen Every Entry with the Right Hardware
You’ve installed the right lock, the perfect deadbolt, and the correct closer but is your latch actually protected?
In commercial settings, the latch is one of the most vulnerable points of forced entry. Without proper reinforcement, even a high-grade lock can be bypassed or damaged.
At ZenSupply, we carry a full line of latch guards, security plates, door wrap kits, and reinforced trim designed to keep your locking hardware secure and your facilities protected.
ZenSupply. We make it EASY.
Why Latch Guards & Door Trim Matter
Latch protection hardware is your last line of defense covering gaps between the door and frame, preventing tampering, and reinforcing the area around your locks.
Without them, you’re vulnerable to:
- Pry attacks
- Latch manipulation (credit carding or shimming)
- Kick-ins or strike-side failures
- Lockset misalignment due to wear
Adding latch guards and protective trim is a small investment with big security benefits.
