Ives 482Z Zinc Solid Bar Door Guard with Interlocking Strike Plate

Ives 482Z Zinc Solid Bar Door Guard with Interlocking Strike Plate

Professional Security Door Guard for Controlled Access

The Ives 482Z Zinc Solid Bar Door Guard provides an additional security layer for commercial doors that are flush with frames. The solid bar interlocks with the ball on the strike plate to permit the door to be slightly opened for viewing while maintaining security. The hinged bar design allows the door guard to be positioned 180В° away from the door when not in use, and the strike plate is specifically designed to prevent the solid bar from marring the inside of the door during operation.
