Don-Jo 1606-605 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Don-Jo 1606 flip guard let me see who is at the door before I open it all the way?
That is exactly what a swing bar guard does. The Don-Jo 1606 secures the door from the inside while still allowing the door to open a limited amount, so an occupant can see and speak to whoever is outside before releasing the bar and opening fully. It is a secondary security device, not a latch or lock, so it works alongside whatever lockset is already on the door.
2) Does a Don-Jo 1606 swing bar guard replace a privacy lock on a bedroom or bathroom door?
No. The 1606 is an add-on swing bar guard, not a latching lock, and it cannot be operated from outside at all. If what you actually need is a privacy function for a bed or bath door, that is a different part, such as the Hager 277D privacy door latch. Use the flip guard where a door already has its lockset and the occupant wants a second, occupant-only restraint on top of it.
3) Can I put a swing bar flip guard on a door that has a closer and a lockset already?
Yes, and that is the usual application. A flip guard is surface mounted in two pieces, one on the door and one on the frame, and at 3 x 2-3/4 x 2-1/4 inches it takes very little face area. It does not need a bore, a backset, or any prep in the lock case, so it goes on independently of what lockset or closer is already installed.
4) What is the difference between the Don-Jo 1606 swing bar door guard and the Hager 277D privacy door latch?
They secure a door in two different ways. The Don-Jo 1606 is a swing bar flip guard: the occupant flips the bar over a catch from inside, and the door can still open a few inches so the person inside can see out before releasing it. The Hager 277D is a privacy door latch with a 2-3/16 inch projection, carrying a privacy/bed/bath function - it holds the door fully closed rather than allowing a gap for visual verification. For a guest room or dorm room where someone needs to check who is at the door before opening it, the 1606 is the swing bar; where the requirement is simply privacy on a bed or bath door, the 277D covers that function.
5) How much room does a Don-Jo 1606 swing bar guard take up on the door face?
It is a small piece of surface hardware, measuring 3 x 2-3/4 x 2-1/4 inches overall. That compact footprint is what lets it sit above or below existing trim on a door without crowding a lockset, viewer, or closer arm.
6) What finishes does the Don-Jo 1606 flip guard come in, and can I match it to existing door hardware?
Five finishes: 605 polished brass, 606 satin brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 622 matte black, and 626 satin chrome. Those are standard BHMA finish numbers, so matching is straightforward. If the building is standardized on satin chrome levers, order 626; older brass-trimmed guest room doors usually pair with 605 or 606.
7) Is the Don-Jo 1606 flip guard rated for commercial use or is it a residential part?
Commercial. The 1606 is built to commercial standards and meets ANSI L33042, which is the auxiliary door security designation. It is specified for hotel and dormitory guest rooms, healthcare patient rooms, multi-tenant residential, offices, and government facilities, where the same guard gets used many times a day.
8) Can I use a Hager 277D instead of a Don-Jo 1606 on a hotel guest room entry door?
Not as a like-for-like swap. The Hager 277D is a privacy/bed/bath device with a 2-3/16 inch projection, which is the pattern used on interior privacy doors such as bedrooms and bathrooms. A guest room entry commonly gets a swing bar guard so the occupant can crack the door and identify a visitor while the door stays restrained; that is what the Don-Jo 1606 does, in a compact 3 inch by 2-3/4 inch by 2-1/4 inch body, in 605 polished brass, 606 satin brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 622 matte black, and 626 satin chrome to match the rest of the trim on the door. If you are standardizing an entry-door package, the 1606 is the swing bar; the 277D belongs on the interior privacy doors behind it.
9) I need to outfit a whole floor of guest rooms with swing bar guards. How is the Don-Jo 1606 packaged?
Sold in shelf packs of 10. For a rollout across a corridor or a floor of rooms, count doors and round up to the nearest ten, and keep the finish consistent across the run so the openings match. One pack covers ten doors.
