Don-Jo SLP-206-EBF-SL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Don-Jo SLP-206 latch protector work on an inswing door?
No. The SLP-206 is a short offset type built for outswing doors, where the latch and strike are exposed from the outside. On an inswing opening the latch area is already shielded by the frame stop, so this plate has nothing to cover and won't mount correctly. For an inswing door you want an inswing-style latch protector instead.
2) What are EBF fasteners on the Don-Jo SLP-206 and why do they matter?
EBF stands for Edge Bolt Fasteners. They're included with the SLP-206 and anchor through the door edge rather than just into the face, so the plate can't be pried or spun off from the outside. That's the point of a latch protector: if the fasteners are attackable, the plate is decorative. Nothing extra to order for mounting.
3) What size is the Don-Jo SLP-206 and will 6 inches cover enough of my latch area?
It measures 2-5/8 by 6 inches. The 6 inch length is the short version, sized to cover the latch bolt and strike area on a standard cylindrical knob or lever lockset. If you're protecting a mortise lock with a deadbolt above the latch, that spread is usually taller than 6 inches and you'd want a longer offset protector.
4) Does the Don-Jo SLP-206 fit over a lever handle lockset or only knobs?
Both. The SLP-206 works with key-in-knob and lever locksets, so you can use the same part across mixed hardware in a building. It mounts on the door face covering the latch area, not around the lock trim itself.
5) How thick is the steel on the Don-Jo SLP-206 latch guard?
12-gauge steel, 0.104 inch thick. That's the weight you want on a commercial exterior opening where someone may go at the latch with a pry bar; it resists deformation rather than folding away from the door.
6) Does a latch protector like the Don-Jo SLP-206 stop someone from loiding or jimmying the latch?
That's exactly what it's for. The SLP-206 is an offset plate that covers the gap between door and frame at the latch, blocking a shim or card from reaching the latch bolt and giving a pry bar nothing to catch. It does not add locking strength itself, so on a high-risk exterior opening pair it with a deadbolt.
7) What finishes does the Don-Jo SLP-206 come in?
Three finishes: BP brass plated, DU duronodic brown coated, and SL silver coated. Pick by what's already on the opening, brass plated reads with brass trim, silver with chrome or aluminum, and duronodic matches dark bronze storefront and aluminum entrances.
8) I manage a property with a dozen outswing exterior doors. Is the SLP-206 sold in a quantity that makes sense for that?
It's sold in shelf packs of 10, which suits stocking or standardizing a run of openings rather than buying one-off. Same part covers both knob and lever locksets, so one finish across the building usually does the job.
