Don-Jo NELP-207-DU – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Don-Jo NELP-207 latch protector fit an aluminum storefront door with an Adams Rite lock?
That is exactly the opening it is built for. The NELP-207 is sized for aluminum entrance doors and works with Adams Rite locks, so it suits narrow stile storefront and lobby entrances already running Adams Rite hardware. It covers the latch and strike zone against prying, and it measures 3-1/2 inches by 6.5 inches, so you need that much flat face on the frame or door at the latch to land it.
2) Does the NELP-207 work on an in-swing door, or only out-swing?
Out-swing only. The NELP-207 is an out-swing latch protector, which is the case where the latch and strike are exposed from the outside and can be pried. If your door pulls in toward the person outside, this is the wrong part and you want an in-swing latch guard instead.
3) Will a latch protector stop someone attacking the electric strike on our storefront entrance?
Covering the strike is the point of the NELP-207. It shields electric strikes from forced-entry attack, shrouding the latch area so a pry bar cannot get purchase on the strike or the latch itself. It is 12-gauge steel at .104 thickness, which is what gives it something to resist with rather than deforming with the first pull.
4) Is the Don-Jo NELP-207 right for a hollow metal door, or just aluminum?
Aluminum entrance doors. The NELP-207 is dimensioned and specified for aluminum storefront and entrance frames with Adams Rite hardware. On a hollow metal door with a cylindrical or mortise lock the latch geometry and strike location are different, and you want a latch guard sized for that prep instead.
5) What is a comparable latch guard to the Don-Jo NELP-207 for a commercial aluminum storefront door?
The Trimco PG8000 Series Panic and Latch Guards line is the peer product family to look at alongside the Don-Jo NELP-207. The NELP-207 is a 12-gauge steel latch protector, 3-1/2 inches wide by 6.5 inches long, built for out-swing aluminum entrance doors and Adams Rite locks, and it shields the electric strike and latch zone from prying. The Trimco PG8000 is a series rather than a single plate, spanning both panic guards and latch guards, so specify the member of that series that matches your opening. Confirm the strike zone geometry on your door before choosing between them.
6) Can the Don-Jo NELP-207 be used on an in-swing aluminum door instead of an out-swing one?
No. The Don-Jo NELP-207 is engineered for out-swing door configurations, where the latch and strike edge are exposed from the outside and the guard covers that gap. On an in-swing opening the vulnerable geometry is different and the NELP-207 will not sit correctly. For an in-swing aluminum door, work from the Trimco PG8000 Series of panic and latch guards and select the guard in that series intended for your door swing. Property managers standardizing across a building should sort the openings by swing first, then order the matching guard for each group.
7) What is the Don-Jo NELP-207 made of and how thick is the steel?
Steel, 12 gauge, .104 inch thick. That is heavy enough for a commercial entrance where the door sees public traffic and the latch is the attack point. For a facility standardizing across multiple entrances, it is a commercial-rated part rather than a light residential guard.
8) What finishes does the Don-Jo NELP-207 come in, and will they match dark bronze aluminum frames?
Two: DU duronodic brown coated and SL silver coated. DU is the one that blends with dark bronze anodized aluminum storefront; SL matches clear or mill-finish aluminum. Both are the same 3-1/2 by 6.5 inch protector, so pick on the frame color you already have on the building.
9) What is the difference between the Don-Jo NELP-207 and a Trimco panic guard?
Different jobs on the door. The NELP-207 is a latch protector for aluminum entrance doors with Adams Rite locks, out-swing, covering the latch and electric strike. The Trimco PG8000 Series is a panic and latch guard line, which covers the exit-device side of the problem as well. If the opening has a panic device rather than an Adams Rite deadlatch, look at the PG8000 Series.
10) How is the Don-Jo NELP-207 latch protector packaged for a distributor or a multi-door job?
Each one is individually polybagged and they come in shelf packs of 10. If you are protecting a run of entrances across a property, that is one pack per ten openings, and the polybag keeps the coated finish clean on the shelf until it goes on the door.
