Cal-Royal LPG2-ALUM – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Cal-Royal LPG2 latch guard fit a mortise lock, or only cylindrical locks?
Both. The LPG2 is a universal guard sized to cover single, double, and mortise lock configurations, so it works over a cylindrical latch, a double-cylinder setup, or a mortise lock front. That's what makes it a reasonable standard across a mixed building where the openings weren't all locked the same way.
2) I have narrow aluminum storefront doors. Is the Cal-Royal LPG2 the right latch protector?
Probably not the first choice. The LPG2 is 2-7/8 x 11 inches, which is a lot of plate for a narrow stile aluminum door. For storefront, look at the Don-Jo LP-307 or GLP-307, both 2-5/8 x 7 inches and built for aluminum entrance doors on out swing, or the Don-Jo NELP-207 at 3-1/2 x 6-1/2 inches. Measure the flat stile face you actually have before picking.
3) What is the difference between the Cal-Royal LPG2 latch guard and the Don-Jo LP-307?
The Cal-Royal LPG2 is a 2-7/8 inch by 11 inch latch guard for out-opening commercial doors, sized to fit most single, double, and mortise lock configurations. The Don-Jo LP-307 is a 2-5/8 inch by 7 inch, 12-gauge steel latch protector built for aluminum storefront entrance doors, also out-swing. The LPG2's 11 inch length covers a taller section of the latch area, while the LP-307's shorter 7 inch body is dimensioned for narrow aluminum storefront stiles where an 11 inch plate may run past the available flat face. Check the stile width and the flat area beside the lock before choosing.
4) The LPG2 is too long for a narrow aluminum storefront stile - what latch protector fits instead?
For a narrow aluminum stile, the Don-Jo NELP-207 is a 12 gauge steel latch protector measuring 3-1/2 inches by 6.5 inches for aluminum entrance doors, out swing - about half the height of the Cal-Royal LPG2's 11 inch body but wider across at 3-1/2 inches. The Don-Jo GLP-307 is another out-swing aluminum entrance door protector at 2-5/8 inches by 7 inches, closer to the LPG2 in width. Measure the flat face beside the lock in both directions: the NELP-207 needs 3-1/2 inches of width, the GLP-307 only 2-5/8 inches.
5) Can I use the Cal-Royal LPG2 latch guard on an exit device instead of a panic guard?
They are not the same part. The Cal-Royal LPG2 is a latch guard covering the latch area of an out-opening door and fitting single, double, and mortise lock configurations. The Trimco PG8000 Series is a panic and latch guard line, meaning it includes guards shaped for the wider strike and latch case of a panic exit device as well as conventional latch guards. On a door with an exit device, confirm the guard is dimensioned for that device's strike before ordering; the LPG2 is specified for single, double, and mortise locks.
6) Does the Cal-Royal LPG2 latch guard meet ANSI/BHMA standards for a commercial spec?
It conforms with ANSI/BHMA 156.2 Series 4000, which is the auxiliary lock and associated products standard. That's the line a facility or institutional spec usually wants to see on a latch protector, and it's a commercial-duty product rather than a residential one.
7) Is a latch guard enough to stop someone prying an out-swing door, or do I need something else?
A latch guard like the LPG2 covers the gap at the latch so a pry bar or shim can't reach the bolt, which is the most common way an out-swinging commercial door gets popped. It does not upgrade the lock itself. If the latch is a short-throw spring latch with no deadlocking, add or replace the lock too. The guard defeats the tool at the gap; the lock still has to hold the door.
8) What's the difference between a latch guard and a panic guard on an exit device door?
A latch guard like the LPG2 covers the latch area of a lock. If the door carries a rim exit device, the exposed part is the device latch and the guard has to be shaped for it, which is what the Trimco PG8000 Series covers as panic and latch guards. On a plain locked out-swing service door with a cylindrical or mortise lock, the LPG2 is the straightforward pick.
9) Can I standardize the same latch guard across every out-swing door in my building?
That's the case for the LPG2. It's a universal plate covering single, double, and mortise lock configurations, so one part number handles a mixed set of back doors, mechanical rooms, and tenant service entries as long as they all swing out and have an 11 inch clear run at the latch. Order the finish per door group: prime coat where they're painted, duronodic on dark bronze frames.
10) Will a latch guard made for an in-swinging door work in place of the Cal-Royal LPG2?
No. The Cal-Royal LPG2 is engineered specifically for out-opening commercial doors, where the latch and strike gap are exposed on the exterior face and the guard mounts to shield them. The comparable protectors in the same application - the Don-Jo LP-307, GLP-307, and NELP-207 - are all likewise specified out-swing. A door that pulls toward the secure side does not expose the latch the same way, and a guard cut for that condition mounts differently. Confirm the door swing at the opening before selecting any of these.
11) Is the Don-Jo GLP-307 the same thing as the Don-Jo LP-307?
They are two distinct part numbers at the same 2-5/8 inch by 7 inch size, both out-swing latch protectors for aluminum entrance doors. The LP-307 is specified as 12-gauge steel for aluminum storefront entrance doors; the GLP-307 is catalogued for aluminum entrance doors. Order by the exact part number rather than by size, since both measure 2-5/8 by 7 and will look alike on a packing list. The Cal-Royal LPG2 is the larger option at 2-7/8 by 11 inches.
12) Which latch guard should I standardize on across a facility with both hollow metal and aluminum storefront doors?
The Cal-Royal LPG2 is a universal latch guard for out-opening commercial doors, sized 2-7/8 by 11 inches and designed to fit most single, double, and mortise lock configurations, which covers the mixed lock types typical of a hollow metal door population. Aluminum storefront openings are the exception: the Don-Jo LP-307 at 2-5/8 by 7 inches and the Don-Jo NELP-207 at 3-1/2 by 6.5 inches are both specified for aluminum entrance doors out-swing, in shorter bodies for the narrower stile. A two-part standard - LPG2 on the hollow metal openings, a storefront-specific protector on the aluminum - is common, and the LPG2 comes in Aluminum, Duronodic, Gold, and Prime Coat finishes for matching existing trim.
13) I need a heavier gauge latch protector than a standard guard - what are the options?
Among comparable out-swing latch protectors, the Don-Jo LP-307 is specified as 12-gauge steel at 2-5/8 by 7 inches and the Don-Jo NELP-207 as 12 gauge steel at 3-1/2 by 6.5 inches, both for aluminum entrance doors. The Cal-Royal LPG2 conforms with ANSI/BHMA 156.2 Series 4000 and covers a larger 2-7/8 by 11 inch area of the latch. If your specification calls out a gauge, the two Don-Jo parts state 12-gauge steel directly; if it calls out the ANSI/BHMA standard, the LPG2 conforms to 156.2 Series 4000.
14) Do I need to specify handing when I order the Cal-Royal LPG2 latch guard?
No handing to call out. The only choice on the LPG2 is finish: aluminum, duronodic, gold, or prime coat. Size is fixed at 2-7/8 x 11 inches.
