Don-Jo ILP-212-SL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Don-Jo ILP-212 latch protector work on an out-swinging door?
No. The ILP-212 is built for in-swing doors only, where the plate mounts on the door face over the latch area on the pull side. On an out-swinging door the latch gap faces the other way and you need an out-swing latch guard instead, which wraps the edge of the door. Check the swing before you order: standing outside the opening, if the door pulls toward you it is out-swing and this is the wrong part.
2) Does the Don-Jo ILP-212 fit over a deadbolt as well as a knob lock?
Both. The ILP-212 covers key-in-knob and deadbolt latches, and at 12 inches long it spans a knob and a deadbolt on the same door where they sit within that run. The plate is only 0.5 inch wide, so it covers the latch line itself rather than the whole lock trim.
3) What is an alternative to the Don-Jo ILP-212 latch protector for a commercial door?
The Trimco PG8000 Series covers the same job of shielding the latch area on a commercial door and is the alternative worth pricing alongside the Don-Jo ILP-212. The ILP-212 itself is a steel in-swing latch protector, so it is the piece to specify when the door pulls toward you and the leaf covers the gap at the latch on the pull side. The PG8000 is a series rather than a single part, which means the guard is selected out of a range of guards rather than ordered as one fixed profile the way the ILP-212 is ordered in BP brass plated, CP chrome plated, DU duronodic brown, or SL silver.
4) How thick is the steel on the Don-Jo ILP-212 latch guard?
14 gauge, .075 inch steel. That is the weight you want on a commercial opening taking real traffic or repeated pry attempts, and it is heavier than the thin stamped guards sold for residential doors. Substrate is steel throughout, so plan on the finish being the corrosion barrier in exterior applications.
5) What finishes does the Don-Jo ILP-212 come in, and which one matches existing hardware?
Four: BP brass plated, CP chrome plated, DU duronodic brown coated, and SL silver coated. For a fleet of openings already running satin chrome or aluminum lever hardware, CP or SL are the two to look at; DU is the one that disappears against dark bronze storefront and aluminum entrances, and BP suits brass knob and deadbolt trim.
6) Is a 12-inch latch protector long enough, or should I get a full-length guard?
The ILP-212 runs 12 inches, which covers the latch area and the immediate zone above and below it. That is the standard answer where someone has been prying or shimming at the latch. If your problem is spread along the whole meeting edge, or you are protecting a panic device latch across a wider area, look at a longer panic and latch guard such as the Trimco PG8000 Series instead.
7) What is the difference between a latch protector like the ILP-212 and a wrap-around door reinforcer?
Different jobs. The ILP-212 is a surface plate that blocks access to the latch itself, stopping a card, shim or pry bar from reaching the bolt on an in-swing door. A wrap-around reinforcer strengthens the door where the lock bore is, so the door material does not split when someone kicks it. If the failure you are seeing is at the bolt, the latch guard fixes it; if the door is splitting around the lock, it does not.
8) Is a panic guard the same thing as an in-swing latch protector?
They are not the same part, and the difference decides which one belongs on the opening. The Don-Jo ILP-212 is a latch protector for an in-swinging door, sized to cover the latch area on that one point of the door. The Trimco PG8000 Series is a range of panic and latch guards, meaning it spans guards intended for exit device hardware as well as guards for the latch. If the door carries a panic device, look at the guard type built for that device; if the door is a key-in-knob or deadbolt opening that swings in, the ILP-212 is the piece written for it.
9) Is the Don-Jo ILP-212 rated for commercial buildings or is it a residential part?
Commercial. The ILP-212 is specified for commercial doors, and the typical placements are office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and municipal buildings. The 14-gauge steel body is what carries that duty.
10) If I am standardizing latch guards across a building, can I order the Don-Jo ILP-212 in bulk?
The ILP-212 ships in shelf packs of 10, which is the practical unit when you are doing a floor or a whole property at once rather than a single door. Keep the finish consistent across the run and you can carry spares in the same pack for the next replacement.
