Don-Jo 83-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Don-Jo 83 latch protector fit a hollow metal door, or is it only for wood?
It goes on any door type. The Don-Jo 83 mounts to wood, metal, or plastic doors of any thickness, so hollow metal frames in a school corridor and solid core wood doors in a medical office both take the same part. Fasteners come in the box (#6 x 3/4 inch).
2) Do I need the left hand or right hand version of a Don-Jo 83 latch protector?
Handing follows the door, and the Don-Jo 83 in satin stainless is the left hand configuration. Stand outside the door (the secure side, where the gap is being attacked): if the hinges are on your left, you want left hand. Get it backwards and the plate will sit on the wrong side of the latch and leave the gap exposed.
3) What does the Don-Jo 83 actually cover, the latch or the vertical rod?
Both. At 6-3/4 by 10 inches, the 83 covers the latching bolt and the lower portion of the vertical rod assembly, which is the part of an exit device an intruder can reach with a pry bar at the bottom of the door. If you only need the latch on a cylindrical or mortise lock covered, a shorter latch protector is enough; the 10 inch height here is what buys you the rod coverage.
4) I have a 24 inch tall vertical rod to protect, not just the bottom of it. What should I look at?
The Don-Jo 83 at 10 inches covers the latch and the lower rod section only. For full-height rod coverage, the ABH 1811 Vertical Rod Protector with Latch Bolt Cover runs 24 inches and is sold as a fire rated ADA compliance kit. Choose by how much exposed rod you actually have on the door face.
5) What is the difference between the Don-Jo 83 latch protector and the ABH 1811 vertical rod protector kit?
Both cover exit device hardware on the door face, but they address different amounts of the rod. The Don-Jo 83 is a single 6-3/4 inch by 10 inch cover that shields the latching bolt and the lower portion of the vertical rod assembly, in 18-gauge steel with a satin stainless finish, and it is handed left. The ABH 1811 is a 24 inch vertical rod protector kit with latch bolt covers, so it runs a much longer span of rod. Choose by how much exposed rod the opening has: a short cover at the latch area versus a full 24 inch run.
6) I need a latch protector on a fire rated opening - is the Don-Jo 83 the right pick or should I use the ABH 1811?
If the opening is fire rated, look at the ABH 1811, which is offered as a fire rated vertical rod protector kit with latch bolt covers. The Don-Jo 83 is a commercial 18-gauge steel latch protector, 6-3/4 inch by 10 inch, that installs on wood, metal, or plastic doors of any thickness and assists in handicap conformance. Match the protector to what the door's fire label and hardware schedule call for.
7) Will a latch protector interfere with ADA accessibility on the door?
The Don-Jo 83 is built to assist in handicap conformance, so it is a common pick where accessible openings are being specified. It is a surface plate over the latch area rather than an obstruction in the push or pull zone.
8) Will the satin stainless Don-Jo 83 match my existing 630 door hardware?
Yes. Finish 630 is satin stainless steel, the same designation used across commercial exit devices, push plates, and kick plates, so the 83 blends with a building already standardized on 630. If your openings are on a brass or bronze standard instead, this one will read as a mismatch.
9) For an ADA accessible door, does the Don-Jo 83 or the ABH 1811 do the job?
Both are built with accessibility in mind. The Don-Jo 83 latch protector is designed to assist in handicap conformance while covering the latching bolt and lower vertical rod area in satin stainless steel. The ABH 1811 is supplied as a 24 inch vertical rod protector and latch bolt cover ADA compliance kit. The deciding factor is usually coverage length and handing rather than accessibility: the 83 is a handed 6-3/4 inch by 10 inch plate, the 1811 covers a 24 inch run of rod.
10) Can I substitute the ABH 1811 for the Don-Jo 83 if I only need to cover the latch area?
You can, but you would be installing more plate than the opening needs. The ABH 1811 is a 24 inch vertical rod protector kit, so it extends well past the latch zone. The Don-Jo 83 is sized at 6-3/4 inch by 10 inch specifically to cover the latching bolt and the lower portion of the vertical rod assembly, comes handed left, ships with #6 x 3/4 inch fasteners, and mounts to wood, metal, or plastic doors of any thickness. For a latch-area-only cover, the 83 is the closer match.
11) Is 18-gauge steel heavy enough for a latch protector in a school or hospital?
18-gauge (.050) is the standard commercial weight for this part and is what Don-Jo builds the 83 from. Combined with the 630 satin stainless finish, it holds up in high traffic corridors and wipes down in healthcare settings without corroding. The stainless substrate matters more than the gauge in wet or frequently cleaned areas.
12) Do I need to buy screws separately for a Don-Jo 83 latch protector?
No. The 83 ships with #6 x 3/4 inch fasteners. On a hollow metal door you may want self-drilling or through-bolt hardware instead depending on how the door is reinforced, but for standard wood and metal installs the supplied screws do the job.
