Don-Jo ALP-206-SL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Don-Jo ALP-206 latch protector work on an inswing door?
No. The ALP-206 is an angle-type protector built for out-swing doors, where the latch edge and the strike gap are exposed on the outside of the opening. On an inswing door the latch is already shielded by the frame stop, so an angle protector has nothing to cover and the wrong geometry to mount. For an inswing opening you want a flat latch protector that mounts on the frame side instead.
2) How does the Don-Jo ALP-206 mount, and does the door have to be prepped?
The ALP-206 mortises directly into the edge of the door, so yes, the door edge gets cut. It is not a surface-applied plate you can just screw over an existing face. Plan on routing the edge to seat the angle flush, which is what keeps the protector from being pried and keeps it from adding thickness at the strike gap. That prep work is why this one is usually installed by a carpenter or locksmith rather than dropped on during a quick fixture swap.
3) Do I need an angle latch protector or a flat one for my door?
It comes down to swing. An angle protector like the ALP-206 wraps the exposed latch edge of an out-swing door, which is where an intruder can get a bar into the gap. A flat protector is the frame-side plate used where the latch is not exposed on the pull side. Stand outside the door: if it opens toward you and you can see the latch bolt in the gap, you want the angle type.
4) What size is the Don-Jo ALP-206 latch protector?
Measures 1-1/2 x 6 inches, in 10-gauge (.134) steel. Six inches gives you coverage above and below a standard latch, and the 1-1/2 inch dimension is what has to sit in the mortise at the door edge. If the opening has a wider gap between door and frame than the protector spans, or hardware crowding the latch within that six inch run, check the run before you cut.
5) Is 10-gauge steel heavy enough for a latch protector on a high-traffic commercial exterior door?
10-gauge (.134) steel is the commercial weight for this part, and the ALP-206 is a commercial-classified protector rather than a residential one. Heavier gauge is what resists a pry bar at the latch, which is the failure point these are installed to close. On a back-of-house or tenant exterior outswing door taking daily abuse, that gauge is the reason to spec the part.
6) What finishes does the Don-Jo ALP-206 come in, and which matches dark bronze hardware?
Three finishes: BC bright brass, DU duronodic brown coated, and SL silver coated. DU is the one to pick against dark bronze or oil-rubbed style door hardware, SL against aluminum, chrome or satin storefront trim, and BC against brass lever sets and exit trim. Because these get installed at the door edge on outswing openings, they are visible from outside, so matching matters more here than on a concealed part.
7) Will the Don-Jo ALP-206 fit over an existing exit device or lock without removing hardware?
The ALP-206 sits in the door edge, not on the face, so it does not overlay a rim exit device or a lock body on the door face. What it does do is occupy the edge at the latch, which means the latch or strike hardware in that six inch run has to clear it. Pull the strike side and check the edge for existing prep before cutting the mortise.
8) How many Don-Jo ALP-206 latch protectors come in a pack?
The ALP-206 ships in shelf packs of 10. That works out well for a property or facility standardizing several outswing exterior doors at once, and it means a single-door repair leaves you with spares on the shelf. Order in whole packs and count your openings first.
