Don-Jo PMLP-211-SL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Don-Jo PMLP-211 latch protector work on an inswing door?
No. The PMLP-211 is built for out swing doors only, where the latch and strike gap are exposed on the outside of the opening. On an inswing door the latch edge faces the secure side and this plate has nothing to cover, so you would want an inswing-style latch guard instead. Check which way the door pushes from the public side before ordering.
2) What locks does the Don-Jo PMLP-211 pin latch protector fit?
It covers key-in-knob and lever locks, plus most lock types that use an Anti Spread Pin. That pin is the point of the plate: it engages the frame so the door leaf cannot be spread away from the jamb to release the latch. If the door carries an exit device or a mortise lock with a very different escutcheon layout, measure the latch area against the 3 by 11 inch plate first.
3) Will an 11-inch latch guard fit on a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
The PMLP-211 plate is 3 inches across, and a typical narrow stile aluminum door has a lock stile around 2 to 2-1/2 inches, so the plate would overhang the stile and foul the glass stop. Wide stile aluminum and hollow metal doors take it without trouble. Measure the lock stile face before you order; if you are under 3 inches of flat stile, this is not the right guard for that opening.
4) How big is the Don-Jo PMLP-211 latch guard and how thick is the steel?
The plate measures 3 by 11 inches and is 12-gauge steel at .104 thickness. That thickness is what resists a pry bar at the latch; it also means the plate stands proud of the door face by roughly a tenth of an inch, so allow for it if the opening has a tight stop or a weatherstrip run at the latch edge.
5) What finishes does the Don-Jo PMLP-211 come in?
Four: BP brass plated, CP chrome plated, DU duronodic brown coated, and SL silver coated. CP and SL are the two that read closest to satin chrome and aluminum door hardware, DU matches bronze-anodized storefront and dark commercial frames, and BP is the choice when the existing lockset and pulls are brass. Pick by what is already on the adjacent doors, since a latch guard sits at eye level on the pull side.
6) Is a Don-Jo pin latch protector rated for commercial exterior doors, or is it a residential part?
Commercial. The PMLP-211 is a commercial-grade latch guard, and the 12-gauge steel body is what separates it from light residential wrap plates. It gets used on office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential, and municipal buildings, which are exactly the places where an exposed outswing latch is the weak point of the opening.
7) What is the difference between a pin latch protector and a panic or latch guard like the Trimco PG8000?
The PMLP-211 is a pin-type guard: it shields the latch on an outswing door and uses an Anti Spread Pin to stop the leaf from being spread off the frame. Trimco's PG8000 Series covers both panic and latch guard applications, so it is the family to look at when the door has an exit device rather than a knob or lever lock. Choose by what is on the door: knob or lever with an anti-spread pin lock, the PMLP-211; a panic-equipped opening, the panic guard line.
