Don-Jo LP-207-SL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Don-Jo LP-207 latch protector work on an inswing door?
No. The LP-207 is built for out-swing doors, where the latch and strike edge are exposed on the outside of the opening. On an inswing door the latch gap faces the interior and this plate is the wrong part; you want an inswing (blade-style) latch guard instead, which wraps the gap between door and frame rather than covering an exposed latch face.
2) Does the Don-Jo LP-207 fit a key-in-knob lockset or only levers?
Both. The LP-207 covers the latch area on key-in-knob and lever locksets, so the same plate works whether the opening has a cylindrical knob set or a lever trim on it.
3) How much of the door edge does the 2-3/4 x 7 inch Don-Jo LP-207 cover?
The plate measures 2-3/4 by 7 inches, so it spans the latch and the area immediately above and below it. That is the short-plate size: it protects the latch itself, not a full deadbolt-plus-latch run. If your opening has a separate deadbolt several inches above the latch, one LP-207 will not cover both, and you'll want a longer protector or a second plate.
4) Is 12 gauge steel heavy enough for a commercial exterior door latch guard?
12 gauge (.104) steel is the commercial weight for this kind of plate, and the LP-207 is a commercial-rated part, not a residential one. It resists prying and shimming attempts at the latch on exterior outswing openings in schools, healthcare, retail, and warehouse buildings. Thinner residential guards flex under a pry bar; .104 steel does not give the same way.
5) What finishes does the Don-Jo LP-207 come in, and which one matches my existing hardware?
Four: BP brass plated, CP chrome plated, DU duronodic brown coated, and SL silver coated. For a building running satin chrome or brushed aluminum lever trim, CP or SL blends closest. DU is the match for dark bronze storefront and aluminum entrances. BP is the pick alongside brass or bright brass hardware. Since the plate sits on the exterior face of the door where everyone sees it, matching this to the lockset trim matters more than it does on an interior opening.
6) Do I have to remove the lockset to install a Don-Jo LP-207 latch guard?
No. A latch protector like the LP-207 mounts to the face of the door over the latch area, so the knob or lever trim stays where it is. It's a retrofit part, which is why it gets used on buildings already in service rather than only at new install.
7) Will a latch protector stop someone from loiding or shimming the latch on an outswing exterior door?
That is exactly the attack this part addresses. On an outswing door the latch face and the gap between door and frame sit on the outside, which is what lets someone work a shim or pry bar into the latch. The LP-207 puts .104 steel across that area so the latch cannot be reached or manipulated directly. It does not add locking function of its own, so if the opening is under-locked to begin with, the guard hardens what's there rather than replacing it.
8) Can I order a single Don-Jo LP-207 or do they come in a pack?
The LP-207 is packed in shelf packs of 10. That suits the way it usually gets bought, since a property manager or contractor hardening a building is rarely doing one door, and standardizing one finish across a run of outswing exits keeps the openings looking alike.
