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

1) Will a Don-Jo ILP-206 latch protector work on an out-swinging door?
No. The ILP-206 is built for in-swinging doors only, where the latch guard mounts on the pull side and covers the gap at the latch. On an out-swing opening the door edge and latch sit on the opposite face, so you need an out-swing latch guard instead. Check the swing from inside the secure side before you order: if you can see the hinge barrels and the door pulls toward you, it's an out-swing and this is the wrong part.
2) Does the ILP-206 latch guard fit a door with a key-in-knob lock and a separate deadbolt?
Yes, that's exactly what the ILP-206 covers. It's sized for openings with key-in-knob and deadbolt locks, and at 6 inches long it spans the latch area rather than running the full door height. If your opening has a mortise lock with a long faceplate or an exit device latch, this 6 inch guard is too short for that hardware.
3) What is an alternative to the Don-Jo ILP-206 latch protector on a door with panic exit hardware?
The Don-Jo ILP-206 is built for in-swinging doors fitted with key-in-knob and deadbolt locks, so it is matched to a latch and bolt, not to an exit device. On an opening running panic hardware, the Trimco PG8000 series covers panic and latch guards, which is the family that addresses exit device hardware. Confirm the lock type on the door before ordering: a key-in-knob or deadbolt opening takes the ILP-206, an exit device opening takes a guard from the panic side of the PG8000 series.
4) How thick is the steel on the Don-Jo ILP-206 latch protector?
14 gauge, which the spec puts at .075 inch, in steel. That thickness is what keeps the guard from being pried or peeled away at the latch, and it's the reason this one is specified for commercial openings rather than a light residential wrap plate. Overall the part measures 0.5 x 6 inches.
5) Do I have to buy the ILP-206 latch protector in a box of 10?
The ILP-206 is packed in shelf packs of 10. If you're standardizing latch guards across a building or a portfolio of units, that works in your favour, one finish, one part number, enough to do a floor. For a single door repair you'll be carrying nine spares.
6) Is the ILP-206 latch guard heavy enough for a high-traffic commercial entry?
It's a commercial-rated part, 14 gauge (.075 inch) steel, and Don-Jo lists it for office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouse, multi-tenant residential and municipal work. That's the traffic band it's built for. What it does not do is upgrade a weak frame, if the strike side of the jamb is already spread or the door is hollow-core and chewed out at the latch, a guard on the door face buys you less than repairing the frame first.
7) Is a Trimco PG8000 guard a direct swap for a Don-Jo ILP-206?
They are not interchangeable part for part. The ILP-206 is a single defined piece: 0.5 inch by 6 inch, 14-gauge (.075 inch) steel, in-swing, for key-in-knob and deadbolt locks, in BP, CP, DU, or SL finish. The Trimco PG8000 is a series of panic and latch guards rather than one part number, so a swap means selecting the specific PG8000 part that matches the opening rather than assuming an equivalent. For a fleet of in-swing doors already carrying ILP-206 protectors, staying with the ILP-206 keeps the size, gauge, and finish consistent across the property.
8) What finishes does the Don-Jo ILP-206 come in?
Four: BP brass plated, CP chrome plated, DU duronodic brown coated, and SL silver coated. Pick by what's already on the lock, brass plated next to a bright brass knob, chrome or silver against satin chrome or aluminum hardware, and duronodic where the door and frame are dark bronze aluminum storefront.
9) Will the ILP-206 stop the door from closing or rub the frame?
No. On an in-swing opening the guard mounts to the door face on the secure side and clears the stop, so it doesn't ride the frame as the door swings. It projects only 0.5 inch across, which is why it sits inside the latch area instead of fouling the trim or the closer arm.
