Cal-Royal GJLPG2 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Cal-Royal GJLPG2 latch guard work on an in-swinging door?
No. The GJLPG2 is built for out-opening doors, where the latch and strike edge are exposed on the outside face. On an in-swinging door the latch is already protected by the frame stop, so this guard has nothing to shield and no correct mounting position. If the door swings out toward the attack side, this is the right style.
2) What size is the Cal-Royal GJLPG2 latch guard, and will it cover a standard commercial lock area?
The GJLPG2 measures 3 x 11-1/2 inches, which is a full-height latch guard rather than a short strike-area plate. That length covers the lock area on single, double, and mortise lock setups, so it works across mixed hardware in a building instead of needing a different plate per door.
3) Is the Cal-Royal GJLPG2 a direct replacement for a Glynn Johnson LG1 latch guard?
The GJLPG2 is built to the same design as the Glynn Johnson #LG1, so installers familiar with that plate get the same profile and fit. That makes it a practical swap when you are matching guards already installed on other openings in the building.
4) Which latch guard should I use on an aluminum storefront door instead of the full-length Cal-Royal GJLPG2?
For narrow aluminum storefront stiles, the 3 x 11-1/2 inch GJLPG2 is often more plate than the stile can take. Don-Jo makes shorter out-swing guards sized for that application: the LP-307 and GLP-307 at 2-5/8 x 7 inches, and the NELP-207 at 3-1/2 x 6.5 inches. Measure the stile face you have to land on before choosing between them.
5) What should I use instead of the Cal-Royal GJLPG2 on a door with an exit device?
The GJLPG2 is a universal latch guard sized 3 inches by 11-1/2 inches for out-opening doors with single, double or mortise locks. For an opening with a panic device, the Trimco PG8000 Series covers panic and latch guards, so the guard is matched to the exit device latch rather than to a lockset latch.
6) What is a comparable latch protector to the Cal-Royal GJLPG2 for an aluminum storefront door?
The Cal-Royal GJLPG2 is a 3 inch by 11-1/2 inch universal latch guard for out-opening doors that fits most single, double and mortise locks. On an aluminum storefront entrance door, the Don-Jo LP-307 is the piece built for that opening: it is a 2-5/8 inch by 7 inch 12-gauge steel latch protector for aluminum storefront entrance doors, out swing. The narrower, shorter LP-307 suits the slim stile of a storefront frame, while the GJLPG2 covers a taller latch area on a wider door face.
7) Do latch guards for out-swing doors come in a shorter size than 11-1/2 inches?
Yes. The Cal-Royal GJLPG2 is 3 inches by 11-1/2 inches. Shorter out-swing options include the Don-Jo GLP-307 at 2-5/8 inches by 7 inches for aluminum entrance doors and the Don-Jo NELP-207 at 3-1/2 inches by 6.5 inches in 12-gauge steel, also for aluminum entrance doors. The NELP-207 is the widest of the three at 3-1/2 inches but the shortest in length, which matters when hardware above or below the latch limits how much plate the door face will take.
8) Does this Cal-Royal latch guard meet a recognized commercial hardware standard for a spec job?
It conforms with ANSI/BHMA 156.2 Series 4000, which is the standard series covering this class of commercial door hardware. For institutional and government specs that call out BHMA conformance on latch protection, that is the line to cite.
9) Can I standardize on one latch guard across a building with different locks on different doors?
That is what this plate is for. The GJLPG2 fits most single, double, and mortise locks, so one part number covers mixed hardware across out-swinging exterior doors in offices, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouse, multi-tenant residential, and municipal buildings. You only need a different guard where the door swings in or the stile is too narrow to take a 3 x 11-1/2 inch plate.
10) Is the Don-Jo GLP-307 the same as the Don-Jo LP-307?
They are not the same part. Both are 2-5/8 inch by 7 inch out swing latch protectors for aluminum entrance doors, but the LP-307 is specified as 12-gauge steel for aluminum storefront entrance doors, while the GLP-307 is listed for aluminum entrance doors without that gauge callout. If a job was specified around one of the two, order it by its exact part number rather than treating the 307 number as interchangeable.
11) Which latch protector standardizes across a mix of storefront and hollow metal out-swing doors?
No single plate covers both cleanly. The Cal-Royal GJLPG2 is the universal choice at 3 inches by 11-1/2 inches for out-opening doors with single, double or mortise locks and conforms with ANSI/BHMA 156.2 Series 4000. For the aluminum storefront leaves, the Don-Jo LP-307 at 2-5/8 inches by 7 inches in 12-gauge steel is built for that door type, and openings with exit devices take the Trimco PG8000 Series panic and latch guards. A two or three line standard by door type is the usual way facilities spec this.
12) Is satin stainless steel a good finish for a latch guard on an exterior door?
Satin stainless holds up outdoors and resists corrosion, which matters on a plate mounted on the weather side of an out-swinging exterior door. It also reads close to the 630 satin stainless trim used on most commercial openings, so it blends with existing lever and lock hardware rather than standing out.
