Don-Jo DON-OLP-2651-SL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Don-Jo OLP-2651 latch protector fit an aluminum storefront door that swings in?
No. The OLP-2651 is built for outswing openings only, where the latch edge is exposed on the outside of the door and can be pried. On an inswing door the latch is already protected by the frame stop, so this guard has nothing to cover and the mounting geometry won't line up. If your door swings in and you still want latch protection, you need an inswing style latch guard, not this one.
2) What does the 1-3/8 inch offset on the Don-Jo OLP-2651 mean, and how do I know my door has it?
Center hung aluminum doors sit on a pivot set back from the frame face, which leaves a step between the door face and the frame. The OLP-2651 is formed with a 1-3/8 inch offset to bridge that step, so the guard sits flat against the door and still laps the gap at the latch. Measure from the face of the door to the face of the frame at the latch edge with the door closed. If that step is 1-3/8 inch, this is the right guard. A butt-hinged aluminum door with no offset, or a different offset, needs a different latch protector.
3) I need latch guards for a whole building of aluminum doors. Are they all the same or do I have to check each opening?
Check each opening. The OLP-2651 only suits doors that are center hung and outswinging with a 1-3/8 inch offset at the latch. Buildings usually mix that with butt-hung storefront leaves and interior inswing doors, and those take different guards. Walk the doors, note swing direction and the step from door face to frame face at the latch, then group your order. Finish matching is the easy part: DU for bronze openings, SL for clear aluminum.
4) How much of the latch area does the Don-Jo OLP-2651 actually cover?
The guard body measures 2-5/8 x 6-1/2 inches, with overall dimensions of 3-5/8 inches wide by 7 inches long once the offset leg is included. That gives you roughly a 6-1/2 inch run of coverage centered on the latch bolt, which is enough for a single latch point on a storefront door. If your opening has a top and bottom rod or a second latch point well above or below the main one, one OLP-2651 covers only the one latch.
5) Is 12-gauge steel heavy enough for a latch guard on a high traffic commercial entrance?
12-gauge steel is the heavy end for a latch protector and is what Don-Jo specs on the OLP-2651 for commercial work. It resists a pry bar at the latch rather than folding, which is the whole point of the part. The finish is a coating over that steel, so on an exterior opening expect the coating to be the wear item, not the plate.
6) What is the difference between a latch protector like the Don-Jo OLP-2651 and a panic guard?
A latch protector covers the latch bolt area on a door with a conventional latch or deadlatch, which is what the OLP-2651 does on center hung outswing aluminum doors. A panic guard is sized and shaped to shield the latch on a door fitted with an exit device, where the strike and latch sit differently. Trimco's PG8000 Series covers both roles as panic and latch guards. If your storefront door has a rim exit device rather than a storefront deadlatch, look at a panic guard style rather than the OLP-2651.
7) What finishes does the Don-Jo OLP-2651 latch protector come in?
Two: DU duronodic brown coated and SL silver coated. Those are the two standard aluminum storefront finishes, so pick DU to match dark bronze anodized frames and SL to match clear or mill anodized aluminum. If you are guarding several doors across a property, order the same finish code across all of them rather than matching by eye.
8) Is the Don-Jo OLP-2651 sold individually or in a multi-pack?
The OLP-2651 goes out in shelf packs of 10. That suits a contractor or facility doing a run of storefront openings at once; if you need a single guard for one door, plan on ending up with spares.
