Don-Jo BLP-210-SL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Don-Jo BLP-210 latch protector work on an in-swing door?
No. The BLP-210 is an out-swing latch guard, meaning it mounts on the exterior face of a door that swings away from you and covers the gap where the latch meets the strike. On an in-swing door the latch is on the protected side already and there is nothing for this plate to cover, so it is the wrong part for that opening. Check the swing from the secure side before ordering.
2) Does the BLP-210 latch guard fit a key-in-lever lock, or is it only for knobs?
Lever hardware is exactly what the BLP-210 is cut for. It is a key-in-lever latch protector and works with both Grade 1 and Grade 2 levers, so it suits commercial cylindrical leversets rather than knob sets. The lever cutout is what separates it from a plain flat latch guard.
3) What size is the Don-Jo BLP-210 latch protector, and will it cover the latch area on a standard commercial door?
The BLP-210 measures 3-1/4 x 10 inches, which gives coverage above and below the latch on a lever lock and spans the strike gap. On a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door with a cylindrical leverset, that footprint sits over the latch area without running into the hinge edge or the door edge trim.
4) What is another guard I can use on an out-swing commercial door instead of the Don-Jo BLP-210?
The Trimco PG8000 Series panic and latch guards cover the same job of shielding the latch area on out-swing openings. The Don-Jo BLP-210 is a latch protector made of steel for out-swing doors with lever handles, so if you are protecting a key-in-lever latch, the BLP-210 is the direct fit; the PG8000 Series is the Trimco line to cross to when you are standardizing a building on Trimco trim.
5) The door has an exit device, not a lever. Is the Don-Jo BLP-210 still the right guard?
No. The BLP-210 is built for key-in-lever locks and is sized 3-1/4 inches by 10 inches to cover a lever latch on an out-swing door. A door with a panic exit device needs a guard made for that latch instead, and the Trimco PG8000 Series covers both panic and latch guard applications. Confirm what is actually on the door before ordering, since a lever latch protector and a panic guard are not interchangeable.
6) How thick is the steel on the Don-Jo BLP-210 latch guard?
12 gauge, .104 thickness, in steel. That is heavy plate for a latch guard, which is the point: the plate has to resist being pried or bent back to expose the latch. For a school corridor exterior, a warehouse man door, or a multi-tenant back entry, that gauge is what you want over a lighter stamped guard.
7) What finishes does the Don-Jo BLP-210 come in?
Three: BP brass plated, DU duronodic brown coated, and SL silver coated. SL is the usual match for aluminum or brushed chrome lever hardware, DU for dark bronze storefront and aluminum doors, BP where the existing trim is brass tone. Since the guard sits on the exterior face right beside the lever, matching it to the leverset finish is what keeps the opening from looking patched.
8) Is there an alternative to the Don-Jo BLP-210 if I need a guard for an exit device instead of a lever lock?
The BLP-210 is cut for key-in-lever locks, so it is not the part for a rim exit device. The Trimco PG8000 Series is a panic and latch guard line, which is the family to look at when the door has a panic device rather than a leverset. For lever openings the BLP-210 remains the direct fit.
9) Do I need a latch protector if I already have a deadbolt on the door?
A latch guard like the BLP-210 protects the latch and strike gap on an out-swing door, which is the point attacked by prying or by slipping a tool into the gap. A deadbolt secures a separate bolt but does not close that gap around the lever latch. On out-swing commercial openings, the guard and the deadbolt cover different attacks, and the BLP-210 is built specifically for the key-in-lever latch.
10) How many latch guards come in a Don-Jo BLP-210 pack?
The BLP-210 is supplied in shelf packs of 10. That works out well for a property manager doing a floor of exterior doors or a contractor standardizing on one guard across a building, but it is worth knowing if you only need one opening covered.
11) Is the Don-Jo BLP-210 rated for commercial use or is it a residential part?
Commercial. The BLP-210 is a commercial door hardware item, 12 gauge steel, and gets used on office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and municipal buildings. It is not a light residential reinforcement plate.
