Cal-Royal DG22-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Cal-Royal DG22 meet ANSI/BHMA standards for a spec job?
The DG22 conforms to ANSI/BHMA 156.16, the standard covering auxiliary hardware including door guards. If a specification calls for a 156.16 compliant chain guard, this one answers it. That is the reason it shows up on government, healthcare, and education work rather than a hardware store chain lock.
2) What finishes does the Cal-Royal DG22 chain door guard come in?
Three: US3 polished brass, US5 antique brass, and US26 polished chrome. Pick by what the rest of the opening already wears. US3 and US5 sit with brass levers and hinges, US26 matches chrome or bright nickel trim. For a building standardizing across many doors, one finish choice across the fleet keeps the corridors consistent.
3) Do I need to buy screws separately for the DG22 door guard?
No. The DG22 ships individually poly bagged with sheet metal screws included, so the fasteners for mounting the chain plate and the door plate come in the bag. What is not included is any reinforcement for a hollow core door, which is worth thinking about since the holding power of a chain guard comes almost entirely from what the screws bite into.
4) Is the Cal-Royal DG22 door guard made of solid brass or brass plated?
Solid brass body, with the chain itself in welded steel. The substrate is brass, not a plated pot metal casting, which matters on doors that get handled constantly in multi tenant and institutional settings where a cast guard cracks at the mounting ear.
5) Is a chain door guard or a swing bar guard the better choice for apartment entry doors?
A chain guard like the DG22 gives more travel, so a tenant can open the door wider to speak or pass paperwork through, and the 9 inch welded steel chain is what carries the load. A swing bar limits the opening to a shorter fixed gap and has no slack to absorb a pull. Choose the chain when tenants need working clearance at the gap, choose a bar when you want the tightest possible opening. Either way the DG22 is built for commercial use, not a residential grade part.
6) Can I use the Cal-Royal DG22 on hotel and dorm room doors?
Yes, that is the class of opening it is built for. It is a commercial grade guard used on multi tenant residential, educational, healthcare, retail, office, and government doors. Mount it on the interior face only. Note it is a secondary device for occupant use, not a lock, so it does nothing for keyed access control and it will not substitute for a latch or deadbolt on the opening.
7) Will a chain door guard interfere with a fire rated door assembly?
A chain guard is surface applied to the interior face and pulled to the door, so nothing about the DG22 changes the latching hardware. What you have to watch is your own authority having jurisdiction: on egress and fire doors, adding a second releasing device can conflict with single motion egress rules. Confirm the opening's requirements before adding any auxiliary guard, particularly in healthcare and institutional corridors.
8) How do I keep the polished brass finish on the DG22 from tarnishing?
Polished brass (US3) is a live finish and will dull with handling oils, which is the usual reason a corridor full of guards looks mismatched after a year. Cal-Royal publishes finish maintenance and care guidance covering cleaning for its architectural finishes. If the doors are in a high touch or coastal environment and you would rather not maintain it, US26 polished chrome holds its appearance with less attention.
