Don-Jo GLP-307-SL-RHR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Don-Jo GLP-307 latch protector work on an aluminum storefront door?
That is exactly what the GLP-307 is built for. It is a 2-5/8 x 7 inch steel guard sized for aluminum storefront entrance doors where the door pull sits within 2-1/2 inches of the latch area, so it covers the latch without fouling the pull. Out-swing openings only. On a hollow metal or wood door, or an in-swing opening, you want a different guard.
2) Do I need to order the GLP-307 latch guard by handing?
Yes, and getting it wrong means the plate lands on the wrong side of the latch. The GLP-307 is ordered as Left Hand Reverse (LHR) or Right Hand Reverse (RHR). Both are reverse-bevel handings because this is an out-swing guard. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right and the door swings toward you, that is RHR; hinges on your left swinging toward you is LHR.
3) What else can protect the latch on an aluminum storefront out-swing door besides the Don-Jo GLP-307?
The Don-Jo GLP-307 is a 2-5/8 inch by 7 inch 12-gauge steel latch protector built for out-swing aluminum storefront doors where the door pull sits within 2-1/2 inches of the latch, and it comes in RHR and LHR handing so it can be matched to the door. The comparable alternative is the Trimco PG8000 Series panic and latch guards, which is a series of guards rather than a single plate, so the specific guard within the series has to be selected for the opening. For a storefront door with a pull crowding the latch area, the GLP-307 is the piece already dimensioned for that condition; for openings outside that pull clearance, the PG8000 series is the family to look at.
4) Is a latch guard on an out-swing door actually worth installing, or does the door stop already protect the latch?
On an out-swing door the latch is on the exterior side, which is why guards like the GLP-307 exist. The plate covers the gap between door and frame so the latch cannot be jimmied or shimmed from outside. In-swing doors do not have that exposure and use a different style of guard entirely. If your storefront door pulls toward you from the sidewalk, this is the case a latch protector is for.
5) What gauge steel is the Don-Jo GLP-307 latch protector, and will it hold up on a high-traffic entrance?
12-gauge steel, which is the heavy end for a storefront latch guard and the reason this one is specified as commercial rather than residential. On a retail or office entrance cycling all day, that thickness is what keeps the plate from deforming under pry attempts and daily abuse.
6) What finishes does the Don-Jo GLP-307 come in to match my existing storefront hardware?
Three: 630 satin stainless steel, DU duronodic brown coated, and SL silver coated. DU is the one that blends with dark bronze anodized storefront framing, SL matches clear anodized aluminum, and 630 goes with stainless pulls and push bars. All three are offered in both LHR and RHR handing.
7) I manage a building with a dozen storefront entrances. Can I standardize on the GLP-307 across all of them?
Across out-swing aluminum entrances, yes, provided the pull on each door sits within 2-1/2 inches of the latch. What varies door to door is handing, so count your LHR and RHR openings before ordering rather than assuming one number. Finish can stay uniform across the whole fleet since all three finishes are available in both handings. Don-Jo packs the GLP-307 in shelf packs of 10, which suits stocking a multi-door property.
8) Is a panic guard the same thing as the Don-Jo GLP-307 latch protector?
They are not interchangeable. The Don-Jo GLP-307 is a latch protector, a 2-5/8 inch by 7 inch 12-gauge steel plate for an out-swing aluminum entrance door, ordered by handing as RHR or LHR. The Trimco PG8000 Series covers panic guards as well as latch guards, and a panic guard is sized and located for the latch of an exit device rather than for a storefront lock latch with a pull within 2-1/2 inches. If the door carries an exit device, work from the PG8000 series; if it is an out-swing aluminum entrance door with a conventional latch, the GLP-307 is the plate cut for that.
9) How many latch protectors come in a pack of the GLP-307?
The GLP-307 ships in shelf packs of 10, which is worth knowing before you order for a two-door job. Handing is fixed per pack, so a building with mixed swings needs separate packs for the LHR and RHR openings.
