Cal-Royal HDCV-48 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Cal-Royal HDCV-48 door chain a direct replacement for an IVES #115?
Yes. The HDCV-48 Super Adjustable Door Chain is stated as comparable to the IVES #115 in function and performance, so it substitutes into the same application without re-specifying. It uses welded solid steel chain with thick gauge steel end brackets and heavy duty compression springs at both ends of the chain and at the end brackets.
2) Does the Cal-Royal HDCV-48 door chain meet ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 for a commercial spec?
It conforms to ANSI/BHMA A156.16 L12231, Grade 1. That is the auxiliary hardware standard, and L12231 is the door chain designation within it, so it answers a drawing calling for a Grade 1 door chain guard directly. It is a commercial-duty product, not a residential chain.
3) Is a door chain guard the right choice, or should I be looking at a latch protector plate?
They solve different problems. The HDCV-48 is a chain-and-bracket door guard that limits and controls how far a door swings and absorbs the shock of it, using compression springs at both ends. A latch protector is a flat steel plate that covers the gap at the latch to stop someone prying or shimming it. If the concern is forced entry at an aluminum storefront door, look at a plate such as the Don-Jo LP-307 in 12-gauge steel for out-swing doors, or the Trimco PG8000 Series panic and latch guards. If the concern is the door slamming open or being blown past its stop, the chain is the correct part.
4) Can a Don-Jo LP-307 latch protector be used instead of the Cal-Royal HDCV-48 door chain?
No, they solve different problems even though both are door guard hardware. The Cal-Royal HDCV-48 is a super adjustable door chain built from welded solid steel chain with thick gauge steel end brackets and heavy duty compression springs on both ends, conforming to ANSI/BHMA A156.16 L12231 Grade 1, and it restrains how far a door travels. The Don-Jo LP-307 is a latch protector for aluminum storefront entrance doors, 2-5/8 inch by 7 inch in 12-gauge steel for an out-swing opening, and it covers the latch area of the door edge against prying. If the requirement is a swing limiter or door stop chain, the LP-307 does not replace it; if the requirement is anti-pry protection at the latch, the HDCV-48 does not replace that.
5) What should I order to protect the latch on an out-swing aluminum storefront door rather than limit the door swing?
The Cal-Royal HDCV-48 is a chain-type door guard and is not the part for that job. For an out-swing aluminum storefront opening, the Don-Jo LP-307 is a 12-gauge steel latch protector measuring 2-5/8 inches by 7 inches, and the Don-Jo GLP-307 is a latch protector for aluminum entrance doors in the same 2-5/8 inch by 7 inch size. If the opening needs a wider plate over a shorter run, the Don-Jo NELP-207 is 12-gauge steel at 3-1/2 inches by 6.5 inches, also for out-swing aluminum entrance doors. All three are entrance-function guards, so match the plate size to the available flat area on the door edge and the location of the lock hardware.
6) What does the vinyl cover on the Cal-Royal HDCV door chain actually do?
It sleeves the chain so the steel links do not swing bare against the door face or frame, and it is weather and rip resistant, so the assembly holds up to moisture and abrasion on exterior openings. On a painted or finished door that cover is what keeps the chain from marking the surface over time.
7) Will the Cal-Royal HDCV-48 hold up in a high-traffic building like a school or hospital?
That is what it is built for. The chain links are welded solid steel and the end brackets are thick gauge steel, with heavy duty compression springs absorbing the impact each time the door is checked. It is specified for commercial office, educational, healthcare, retail, industrial, multi-tenant residential, and government facilities.
8) What is the difference between the Cal-Royal HDCV-48 and the Don-Jo latch protectors for aluminum entrance doors?
Different jobs on the same opening. The Don-Jo GLP-307 and LP-307 are 2-5/8 by 7 inch entrance-function latch protectors for aluminum storefront doors, and the NELP-207 is a 3-1/2 by 6.5 inch 12-gauge version, all for out-swing applications. They are plates that shield the latch area. The Cal-Royal HDCV-48 is a spring-loaded chain guard that manages door swing and is rated to ANSI/BHMA A156.16 L12231 Grade 1. Buying one does not cover what the other does.
9) Is there a guard option for a door with an exit device instead of the Cal-Royal HDCV-48?
Yes. The Cal-Royal HDCV-48 is a super adjustable steel door chain with a weather and rip resistant vinyl cover, intended for commercial openings where the door travel is being controlled. For an opening fitted with a panic device, the Trimco PG8000 Series is a panic and latch guard line, which covers the latch and the strike area on doors carrying exit hardware. Choose the PG8000 Series when the concern is attack at the latch of a panic-equipped door, and the HDCV-48 when the concern is the swing of the door itself.
10) I need a Grade 1 rated commercial door chain, not a plate guard. Which of these carries that rating?
The Cal-Royal HDCV-48 is the chain product and it conforms to ANSI/BHMA A156.16 L12231 Grade 1, with welded solid steel chains, thick gauge steel end brackets, and heavy duty compression springs on both ends of the chain and end brackets. It is a commercial-rated item and is described as comparable to the IVES #115 door chain, which helps when a spec sheet already calls out that chain. The Don-Jo GLP-307, LP-307 and NELP-207 and the Trimco PG8000 Series are latch and panic guards rather than chains, so they are not alternates for a Grade 1 chain callout.
11) Can I standardize a whole building on the Cal-Royal HDCV-48, and is there more than one size?
HDCV-48 is the single model offered, so every opening you order for gets the identical assembly, chain, brackets, springs and vinyl cover alike. For a property manager rolling this out across a fleet of doors, that means one part number on the requisition and one set of mounting holes across the building.
12) What is the difference between the Don-Jo GLP-307 and the LP-307 latch protectors?
Both are Don-Jo out-swing latch protectors for aluminum entrance doors at 2-5/8 inches by 7 inches, and both are entrance function. The LP-307 is described for aluminum storefront entrance doors in 12-gauge steel, while the GLP-307 is described for aluminum entrance doors. If a gauge is being called out on the drawing, the LP-307 is the one that carries the 12-gauge callout. Neither one performs the function of the Cal-Royal HDCV-48 door chain, which restrains door travel rather than shielding the latch.
13) How do I care for the finish on the Cal-Royal HDCV door chain once it is installed?
Cal-Royal publishes a finish maintenance and care guide that covers cleaning and upkeep of its hardware finishes, and it applies to the steel brackets on the HDCV-48. The vinyl cover itself is weather and rip resistant, so routine wipe-down is generally all the chain sleeve needs.
