Don-Jo ELP-208P-EBF-DU – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Don-Jo ELP-208P latch protector work on an in-swing door?
No. The ELP-208P is built for out-swing openings only. On an out-swing door the latch and strike gap face outward, which is what this guard covers. For an in-swing door you need an in-swing style latch guard instead, which wraps the door edge rather than shielding an exposed strike.
2) Can I use a latch guard over an electric strike on an aluminum storefront door?
That is exactly what the ELP-208P is for. It is made to fit over electric strikes on aluminum doors and frames, so the guard shields the strike pocket without interfering with the access control hardware behind it. It measures 3-1/2 x 8 inches, which covers the strike area on a typical narrow aluminum frame.
3) Will a standard latch guard work if my door has an electric strike, or do I need a special one?
You need one cut for the strike. A standard latch guard is shaped to shield a plain latch and can foul the larger body and keeper of an electric strike. The ELP-208P is the electric-strike version, with the geometry and the edge-bolt fasteners for aluminum frames, so the access control hardware still operates behind it.
4) What else can I use to guard the latch on an out-swing aluminum door with an electric strike besides the Don-Jo ELP-208P?
The Trimco PG8000 Series is the other latch guard family to look at. The PG8000 Series covers both panic guards and latch guards, so it spans openings with exit device hardware as well as plain latch openings. The Don-Jo ELP-208P is a steel latch protector sized 3-1/2 inches wide by 8 inches long in 12 gauge (.104) steel, cut for electric strike applications on aluminum doors and frames and for out-swing doors specifically, with EBF fasteners for the aluminum door edge. If the opening you are protecting is an out-swing aluminum door running an electric strike, the ELP-208P is built to that exact condition; if you are covering a mix of openings including exit devices, the PG8000 Series is the broader family to price out.
5) What are EBF fasteners and why does this Don-Jo latch protector use them?
EBF stands for edge-bolt fasteners, and the ELP-208P ships with them. They are the fastener set meant for aluminum door and frame edges, where sheet metal screws can pull through. They also resist tampering from the outside, which matters on a part that sits on the exposed face of the opening.
6) How thick is the steel on the Don-Jo ELP-208P latch guard?
12 gauge, which Don-Jo states as .104 inch steel. That is the heavy end of latch guard stock and it is why this one gets specified on entries that have already been pried or that see high traffic. The plate is steel throughout, coated in the finish you order.
7) What finishes does the Don-Jo ELP-208P come in?
Two: DU duronodic brown coated and SL silver coated. Those are the two colors aluminum storefront is normally anodized in, so pick the one that matches the door and frame you are mounting to rather than the interior hardware.
8) Do I have to buy Don-Jo latch protectors in a case, or can I get one?
The ELP-208P is supplied in shelf packs of 10. That suits a property manager or contractor standardizing latch protection across a run of storefront entries rather than fixing one door.
