Don-Jo 81-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Don-Jo 81 latch protector fit a hollow metal door, or is it only for wood?
Both. The Don-Jo 81 latch bolt cover mounts to wood, metal, or plastic doors, and door thickness doesn't matter because the plate surface-mounts over the latch area rather than seating into a prep. That makes it a single part number you can standardize on across a building with mixed door construction.
2) Do I need the right hand or left hand version of the Don-Jo 81 latch guard?
Handing matters on this one. The 81 in the 630 satin stainless is built right hand, so it suits a door whose hinges are on the right as you stand on the pull side. Order the left hand version for the opposite swing. Get it backwards and the plate laps the wrong way off the latch edge and won't cover the bolt.
3) Will a 6-3/4 by 10 inch latch guard cover the bottom rod on an exit device door?
Yes, that is what the 10 inch dimension is for. The Don-Jo 81 measures 6-3/4 x 10 inches and covers the latching bolt plus the lower portion of the vertical rod assembly, so on a surface vertical rod exit device it shields both the latch and the exposed rod run above the threshold. A short latch guard covers the bolt only.
4) What stops someone from jimmying the latch on an out-swing exterior door?
A latch guard like the Don-Jo 81 is the standard fix. It's a stainless plate that screws over the latch edge of an out-swing door so a pry bar or shim can't reach the bolt from outside. It's an add-on to the existing lock, not a replacement, so the lock, cylinder and keying you already have stay as they are.
5) What is the cross-brand equivalent to the Don-Jo 81 latch bolt cover?
The Trimco PG8000 Series panic and latch guards cover the same job as the Don-Jo 81. The Don-Jo 81 is a latch protector measuring 6-3/4" x 10" that installs on wood, metal, or plastic doors of any thickness and shields the latching bolt plus the lower portion of the vertical rod assembly. The Trimco offering is a series of panic and latch guards rather than a single part, so a specifier working from a drawing that calls out PG8000 is choosing a guard out of that series, while the Don-Jo 81 is ordered as a fixed 6-3/4" x 10" right hand part in satin stainless steel.
6) Does the Don-Jo 81 latch bolt cover come with screws?
It ships with #6 x 3/4 inch fasteners, so no separate hardware order is needed for a standard install. On a hollow metal door plan on drilling and, depending on your spec, sex bolts or through-bolting if the opening calls for tamper resistance from the secure side.
7) How heavy is the steel on the Don-Jo 81 latch guard, and will it hold up in a school corridor?
18 gauge, .050 inch thick stainless in a 630 satin finish. That's the weight normally specified for commercial latch protection, and the stainless resists corrosion and scuffing in high traffic. The 81 is a commercial-grade part, not a residential trim plate.
8) Will a latch guard interfere with accessibility requirements on a hospital or school door?
The Don-Jo 81 is made to assist in handicap conformance and is called out for use in hospitals, schools and similar facilities. The plate sits on the latch edge rather than in the push or pull path, so it doesn't add a hardware obstruction to the door face.
9) Can I put a latch guard on an in-swing door?
There's no point. Latch guards including the Don-Jo 81 protect the latch on out-swing doors, where the bolt and strike gap are reachable from the unsecured side. On an in-swing door the stop already shields the latch, and what you want there is a wrap-around reinforcer or a strike box, not a latch protector.
10) Is a Trimco PG8000 guard a drop-in replacement for a Don-Jo 81 on the same door?
Not automatically. The Don-Jo 81 is a single fixed size, 6-3/4" x 10", handed right, and it mounts to wood, metal, or plastic doors of any thickness with the #6 x 3/4" fasteners supplied. The Trimco PG8000 is a series of panic and latch guards, so the specific guard chosen out of it determines the footprint and the hole pattern. When swapping between the two, measure the existing plate and match the coverage over the latch bolt and the lower vertical rod rather than assuming the fastener holes line up.
11) For a vertical rod exit device opening, which latch guard should be used?
The Don-Jo 81 is built for that opening: at 6-3/4" x 10" it covers the latching bolt and the lower portion of the vertical rod assembly, in 18-gauge satin stainless steel for commercial traffic. Trimco addresses the same application with its PG8000 Series panic and latch guards. Both are aimed at doors carrying exit hardware, so the decision comes down to the coverage footprint the opening needs and the finish being matched on the rest of the doors.
12) What finish does the Don-Jo 81 latch protector come in, and will it match my other door hardware?
630 satin stainless steel, which is the same finish designation used on most commercial levers, exit devices and push plates, so it blends with standard institutional trim. If your building is standardized on 630, this drops in without an odd-plate-out look.
13) What else can I use instead of a Don-Jo latch guard on a panic device door?
Trimco's PG8000 Series covers the same job, panic and latch guards for commercial openings. Pick between them on the size and handing that matches your door and on which finish family your building is already standardized to.
