Don-Jo BLP-207-SL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Don-Jo BLP-207 latch protector work on an in-swing door?
No. The BLP-207 is an out-swing latch guard, so it mounts on the exterior face of a door that swings away from you and covers the gap where the latch is exposed. On an in-swing door the latch sits on the protected side and this plate has nothing to shield, so you want an in-swing style guard (a wrap or gap-blocking plate) instead.
2) Does the Don-Jo BLP-207 fit over a key-in-lever lockset, or is it only for knobs?
Lever locks are exactly what the BLP-207 is cut for. The plate is shaped for key-in-lever hardware and works with both Grade 1 and Grade 2 lever locksets, so a commercial cylindrical lever on an out-swing door is the intended application. If the door has a knob or a mortise lock with a different trim footprint, check the trim shape before ordering this one.
3) What size is the Don-Jo BLP-207 latch guard and will it cover the latch area on a standard commercial door?
The BLP-207 measures 3-1/4 x 7 inches, which covers the latch bolt area of a key-in-lever lock on an out-swing door. On a 1-3/4 inch commercial door with a standard lever prep that gives you coverage above and below the latch. Measure your stile before ordering on a narrow-stile aluminum door: 3-1/4 inches of width has to land flat on the face.
4) What else covers a latch besides the Don-Jo BLP-207 when the opening has a panic device instead of a key-in-lever lock?
The BLP-207 is built for key-in-lever lock applications on out-swing doors, so it is sized around a lever lockset latch. When the door carries an exit device rather than a lever, look at the Trimco PG8000 series, which is a panic and latch guard line and covers panic hardware openings as well as latch guarding. Both are out-swing latch guarding parts; the difference is the hardware they are meant to sit next to - a lever lockset for the Don-Jo BLP-207, and panic hardware within the Trimco PG8000 range.
5) How thick is the steel on the Don-Jo BLP-207 latch protector?
12-gauge steel, .104 inch thick. That is heavy plate for a latch guard, and it is what stops the plate from peeling or folding when someone works a pry bar into the gap. The substrate is steel throughout, finished rather than plated stainless, so exterior openings will want the coated finishes over the brass plated one.
6) Is a Trimco PG8000 panic guard a direct replacement for a Don-Jo BLP-207 latch protector?
Not automatically. The Don-Jo BLP-207 is a 3-1/4 inch by 7 inch, 12-gauge (.104) steel latch protector matched to Grade 1 and Grade 2 key-in-lever locksets on out-swing doors, and it comes in BP brass plated, DU duronodic brown coated, and SL silver coated. The Trimco PG8000 is a series of panic and latch guards, so a given PG8000 guard needs its own size and hardware match confirmed against the opening before it stands in for the BLP-207. Treat them as two guards for two different door hardware situations rather than one-for-one part numbers.
7) What finishes does the Don-Jo BLP-207 come in?
Three: BP brass plated, DU duronodic brown coated, and SL silver coated. On a building where the existing lever trim is US26D satin chrome, SL is the closest visual match; DU pairs with dark bronze aluminum storefront and anodized frames, and BP goes with brass or bright trim. That is the whole range, so match the plate to the door pull and frame rather than to the lock cylinder.
8) I need latch guards for a whole building of out-swing doors. Can I buy the Don-Jo BLP-207 in bulk?
The BLP-207 ships in shelf packs of 10, which suits standardizing a run of openings across a property rather than buying one plate at a time. Pick one finish across the building so the doors read consistently, and count only your out-swing leaves, since the in-swing openings need a different style of guard.
9) Is the Don-Jo BLP-207 latch protector suitable for a residential door or is it commercial only?
It is built for commercial service, and that is where 12-gauge steel earns its keep: office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, and multi-tenant residential back doors. Nothing stops you putting one on a house, but the plate is sized to commercial lever trim on an out-swing door, so an interior residential knob door is not the application.
