Don-Jo LELP-208-EBF-SL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Don-Jo LELP-208-EBF latch protector work on an in-swing door?
No. The LELP-208-EBF is an out-swing latch protector, so it mounts to the door and covers the gap at the latch on a door that swings away from you. On an in-swing opening the vulnerable point is the strike side of the frame, and this plate will not do that job. Get an in-swing style latch guard instead.
2) Can I use a latch protector over an electric strike opening?
That is exactly what the LELP-208-EBF is built for. It suits doors running electric strikes and lever locks, so it fits access-controlled openings where a standard latch guard would foul the strike or the lever. The plate is 3-1/2 x 8 inches of 12-gauge (.104) steel covering the latch area.
3) How big is the Don-Jo LELP-208 latch guard, and will it cover a lever lock latch area?
It measures 3-1/2 x 8 inches. That length gives coverage above and below the latch on a lever lockset, and the plate is shaped for lever hardware rather than a knob rose, so the lever swing is not obstructed.
4) What is the alternative to the Don-Jo LELP-208-EBF for guarding the latch on an out-swing commercial door?
The Don-Jo LELP-208-EBF is a 12-gauge (.104) steel latch protector, 3-1/2 inches wide by 8 inches long, made for electric strikes and lever locks on out-swing doors, and it ships with EBF fasteners in DU and SL finishes. The Trimco PG8000 Series panic and latch guards cover the same job of shielding the latch area on out-swing openings, so a security integrator standardizing a building can specify either family. Match the guard to the hardware it protects: the LELP-208-EBF is sized and shaped around an electric strike and lever lock installation, while the PG8000 Series spans both panic device and latch guard applications.
5) What does the EBF in LELP-208-EBF mean, and do I need to buy fasteners separately?
EBF stands for Easy Bolt Fasteners, and they come in the box. No separate hardware order is needed to mount the plate.
6) Is 12-gauge steel heavy enough for a latch protector on a commercial entrance?
12-gauge (.104) steel is the heavy end for a latch guard, and the LELP-208 is a commercial-rated part, not a residential one. That thickness is what resists a pry bar being worked into the latch gap. Material is steel throughout.
7) Is a panic guard the same thing as the Don-Jo LELP-208-EBF latch protector?
They are related but not interchangeable. The Don-Jo LELP-208-EBF is a latch protector purpose-built for electric strikes and lever locks, a flat 12-gauge steel plate 3-1/2 inches by 8 inches that shields the latch point on an out-swing door. The Trimco PG8000 Series is a panic and latch guard line, meaning it addresses panic device openings as well as latch guarding. If the door carries an exit device rather than a lever lock with an electric strike, order against the panic guard family rather than substituting the LELP-208-EBF, which is dimensioned for the lever lock and electric strike condition.
8) What finishes does the Don-Jo LELP-208-EBF latch protector come in?
Two: DU duronodic brown coated and SL silver coated. Silver blends with aluminum storefront and satin chrome or aluminum lever trim; duronodic matches dark bronze anodized frames and doors, which is the common pairing on older commercial aluminum entrances.
9) Can I buy latch protectors in bulk for a whole building of doors?
The LELP-208-EBF is packed in shelf packs of 10, which suits standardizing a run of out-swing electric strike openings across a property rather than buying one door at a time.
