Don-Jo WSLP-204-DU – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Don-Jo WSLP-204 latch protector work on an in-swing door?
No. The WSLP-204 is built for out-swing doors, where the latch and strike gap are exposed on the pull side and vulnerable to prying. On an in-swing opening the latch faces the secure side and this plate does nothing for you; you want an in-swing style latch guard (a flat latch protector that mounts on the door face and covers the gap at the frame) instead. Check which way the door swings from the room you are standing in before ordering.
2) Will the WSLP-204 latch guard clear my lever handle or knob?
The WSLP-204 is prepped for most commercial locks and clears most Grade 1 and Grade 2 levers and knobs, so it goes over a standard cylindrical or mortise lockset without a special cutout. Where it gets tight is oversize rose trim or a decorative escutcheon plate, since the guard measures 5 by 4 inches around the latch area. Measure your rose diameter against that footprint if you are running non-standard trim.
3) How thick is the steel on the Don-Jo WSLP-204 slipper latch protector?
11 gauge, .135 inch, in stainless steel. That is the heavy end for a latch guard and it is what keeps the plate from folding when someone works a pry bar into the gap. On a high-abuse opening (a back-of-house exterior door, a tenant entry that has already been hit once) that thickness is the reason to spec this rather than a light-gauge cover plate.
4) What is a slipper latch protector and when do I need one instead of a plain latch guard?
A slipper style guard wraps the latch area on an out-swing door so a tool cannot get onto the latch bolt or slip the strike. Use it when the door swings out and the latch edge is reachable from the unsecured side, which is the case on most commercial rear exits, stairwell exteriors and tenant service doors. If the door swings in, the latch is already protected by the frame stop and a different guard style applies. The WSLP-204 covers the out-swing case in 11 gauge steel.
5) What else could I use instead of a Don-Jo WSLP-204 latch guard?
The Trimco PG8000 Series panic and latch guards are the cross-brand alternative in the same category. The PG8000 range covers panic hardware guards as well as latch guards, so it is worth looking at when the opening has an exit device rather than a lever or knob lockset. For a standard out-swing lever or knob opening, the WSLP-204 is the direct fit at 5 by 4 inches in 11 gauge steel.
6) Is the WSLP-204 rated for commercial use or is it a residential part?
Commercial. The WSLP-204 is specified for commercial door hardware, and the compatibility is written around Grade 1 and Grade 2 commercial locksets rather than residential passage sets. It shows up on office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and municipal buildings.
