Don-Jo PLP-111-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Don-Jo PLP-111 latch protector work on an inswing door?
No. The PLP-111 is an outswing latch guard, meaning it mounts on the exterior face of a door that swings away from you and covers the exposed latch and gap. On an inswing door the latch is not accessible from outside, so a guard of this type has nothing to protect and will not mount correctly. For an inswing opening you want an interior-style latch guard instead.
2) What locks does the Don-Jo PLP-111 latch guard fit?
The PLP-111 works with key-in-knob locks, lever locks, and most locks that have an anti-spread pin. The pin feature is the point of this model: it engages the frame side to resist the door being pried and spread away from the jamb, which is the common attack on an outswing opening. If your door has a mortise or deadbolt setup with no anti-spread pin provision, this is not the guard for it.
3) How big is the Don-Jo PLP-111 and will it cover my latch area?
The plate measures 3 x 11 inches, which gives you coverage above and below the latch on a standard commercial door. Before ordering, check that you have 11 inches of clear face on the lock stile with no closer arm, vision light frame, or exit device trim in the way, and that the 3 inch width does not run past the edge of the stile.
4) What else besides the Don-Jo PLP-111 covers a latch on an outswing commercial door?
The Trimco PG8000 Series is the other latch guard family to look at for the same job. The Don-Jo PLP-111 is a single fixed part - a 3 inch by 11 inch pin latch protector in 12-gauge stainless steel, .104 thickness, 630 satin stainless, made for out swing openings and for key-in-knob locks, levers, and locks with an anti-spread pin. The Trimco PG8000 is a series covering panic and latch guards, so it is specified by selecting within the series rather than by ordering one fixed plate. If the opening takes a knob or lever latch and the anti-spread pin, the PLP-111 answers it as a stock size.
5) Is a 12-gauge stainless latch guard strong enough for a high-abuse commercial door?
12-gauge stainless at .104 thickness is the heavy end of latch guard material, and it is what the PLP-111 uses. That gauge resists bending under a pry bar rather than folding, which is the failure mode of thin guards. The stainless substrate also holds up outdoors and in wash-down or coastal conditions where a plated steel guard would rust at the fastener holes.
6) What is the difference between a latch guard and a panic guard, and which do I need?
A latch guard like the PLP-111 covers the latch area of a knob or lever lock on an outswing door. If your door has an exit device instead, you want a guard sized for that hardware, such as the Trimco PG8000 Series panic and latch guards. Match the guard to what is actually on the door: a knob or lever opening takes the latch guard, a rim exit device opening usually takes a panic guard.
7) Is a panic guard the same thing as the Don-Jo PLP-111?
No. The Trimco PG8000 Series is a panic and latch guard line, meaning it spans guards for exit device openings as well as latch openings. The Don-Jo PLP-111 is strictly a pin latch protector for out swing doors, sized 3 inches by 11 inches, and it is compatible with key-in-knob locks, levers, and most locks with an anti-spread pin. A door with a rim panic device is a different guard selection than a door with a knob or lever latch, so match the guard to the lock on the door rather than assuming one crosses to the other.
8) Which latch guard standardizes better across a building of outswing doors?
The Don-Jo PLP-111 is one fixed configuration - 3 inch by 11 inch, 12-gauge stainless steel at .104 thickness, 630 satin stainless finish - and it is sold in a shelf pack of 10, so every door in the fleet gets an identical plate and identical spare. The Trimco PG8000 Series is a series of panic and latch guards, which means each opening is specified within the series. For a property manager or MRO buyer who wants one part number on the shelf for a run of out swing commercial doors, the single-configuration PLP-111 is the simpler stocking decision.
9) What finish is the Don-Jo PLP-111 and will it match my other door hardware?
It comes in 630, satin stainless steel, and that is the only finish offered. 630 is the standard commercial finish on lever trim, push plates, and exit devices, so it lines up with most existing hardware on an institutional or office opening without a special order.
10) I need latch guards for a whole building. Does the PLP-111 come in bulk?
Don-Jo packs the PLP-111 in a shelf pack of 10, which suits a property manager or facilities crew standardizing exterior latch protection across a run of outswing doors. Since only one finish and one size exist, every door in the fleet gets an identical plate.
