Ives IVE-LG11-SP313-RH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which hand do I order for the Ives LG11 lock guard on a left hand reverse aluminum door?
Order the RH version for an LHR door, and the LH version for an RHR door. The LG11 is a handed latch guard, so the hand designation is opposite the door hand you're standing in front of. Get it backwards and the guard sits on the wrong side of the latch and won't close the gap it's meant to cover. Both hands are stocked in 630 satin stainless steel and 695 dark bronze.
2) Will the Ives LG11 work on an aluminum storefront door that has an electric strike?
That's exactly the application it's built for: aluminum doors with latch type locks, or doors running an electric strike. It covers the latch point and closes off the gap between door and frame without interfering with the strike hardware. If your opening is a hollow metal or wood door with a mortise or cylindrical lock, this isn't the guard for that opening.
3) How big is the Ives LG11 latch guard, and will it fit a narrow stile aluminum door?
The LG11 measures 3 inches wide by 9-1/2 inches high. On a narrow stile aluminum entrance door the usable stile face is typically around 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches, so measure the flat face of your stile before ordering: 3 inches of width has to land somewhere. On medium and wide stile aluminum doors it sits with room to spare. If your stile is too tight, the Don-Jo NELP-207 is a narrower option at 3-1/2 by 6-1/2 inches overall, and the Don-Jo LP-307 and GLP-307 are 2-5/8 by 7 inches.
4) Can I use the Ives LG11 lock guard on a fire rated door assembly?
The LG11 is UL10C Listed with a 3 hour rating, so it can go on a fire rated opening up to that rating. That matters for institutional and MRO work where a non listed guard added to a labeled door puts the assembly out of compliance at inspection.
5) What is the closest equivalent to an Ives LG11 lock guard on an aluminum storefront door?
The nearest peer is the Don-Jo LP-307, a latch protector built for aluminum storefront entrance doors in 12-gauge steel, measuring 2-5/8 inches by 7 inches and configured for out-swing openings. The Ives LG11 covers a larger footprint at 3 inches wide by 9-1/2 inches high and is made in steel or stainless steel. The LG11 is also handed, so the hand of the door has to be confirmed before ordering, while the LP-307 is described by swing rather than hand. If the opening carries an electric strike, the LG11 is the one designed around that condition.
6) What latch guard should I use when there is not enough clear stile height for a 9-1/2 inch guard?
The Ives LG11 needs a 9-1/2 inch tall by 3 inch wide area of clear stile at the latch. Where closer trim, a lock body, or a pull limits the run, the Don-Jo LP-307 and Don-Jo GLP-307 are both 2-5/8 inches by 7 inches on aluminum entrance doors, and the Don-Jo NELP-207 is 3-1/2 inches by 6.5 inches, giving a shorter vertical footprint in a wider plate. All three Don-Jo guards are out-swing configurations, so verify the door swings out before substituting.
7) What do I use to guard the latch on a door with a panic device instead of a latch lock?
The Ives LG11 is built around aluminum doors with latch-type locks or electric strikes. Where the opening runs an exit device, the Trimco PG8000 Series covers panic and latch guards, so that series is the one to size against the device rather than a lock guard cut for a latch and strike. Confirm the exit device model and the clear stile at the latch before selecting from the PG8000 range.
8) Does the Ives LG11 come with mounting screws, or do I need to supply fasteners?
Two welded mounting studs come attached to the guard. Those studs are the mounting method, and there are no exposed fasteners on the face of the unit, which is the point: nothing on the outside for someone to attack with a screwdriver. Plan on drilling for the studs and supplying whatever hardware secures them on your side of the opening.
9) Should I get the steel or the stainless steel version of the Ives LG11?
Two substrates are offered: 12 gauge steel and 13 gauge stainless steel. Stainless in 630 satin finish is the one to use on exterior openings and anywhere washdown, coastal air, or de-icing salt is in play. The 695 dark bronze finish is the match for bronze anodized aluminum storefront, which is the most common reason to go that way rather than stainless.
10) What's the difference between the Ives LG11 and a Don-Jo latch protector for aluminum doors?
Size and coverage, mostly. The LG11 runs 3 by 9-1/2 inches and carries a UL10C 3 hour listing, so it's the one to specify on labeled openings. The Don-Jo LP-307 is a 12 gauge steel entrance guard at 2-5/8 by 7 inches for out swing aluminum storefront, the GLP-307 is the same footprint, and the NELP-207 is 3-1/2 by 6-1/2 inches in 12 gauge steel, also out swing. Those three are shorter plates. Trimco's PG8000 Series covers panic and latch guards if you're protecting an exit device rather than a latch lock.
11) Will an Ives LG11 stop someone from shimming the latch on my storefront door?
That's what it's for. The LG11 covers the latch point and virtually eliminates the opening between door and frame there, which is the gap a shim or pry bar needs. With two welded studs and nothing exposed on the face, there's no fastener head to back out from outside either.
12) Can I standardize on one Ives LG11 part number across all the aluminum entrances in my building?
Not on one number, no. Because the LG11 is handed, you'll need both an LH and an RH stocked if your openings swing both ways, and each is a separate part number per finish. Walk the doors, count hands, then order accordingly. The finish you can standardize on: pick 630 satin stainless or 695 dark bronze to match the storefront and it's the same across both hands.
13) Is the Don-Jo NELP-207 a drop-in replacement for an Ives LG11?
No. The two protect the same part of the door but sit differently on it. The Don-Jo NELP-207 is a 12-gauge steel latch protector for aluminum entrance doors at 3-1/2 inches by 6.5 inches in an out-swing configuration. The Ives LG11 is 3 inches by 9-1/2 inches and is handed, ordered RH for a LHR door and LH for a RHR door. Fastening also differs: the LG11 comes with 2 welded mounting studs and carries no exposed fasteners on the face. Swapping one for the other means new mounting holes, not a plate change.
14) Do I need to know the door hand to order a latch guard for an aluminum entrance door?
It depends which guard you specify. The Ives LG11 is handed and requires a hand call at order time, RH for a LHR door and LH for a RHR door, and it is supplied in 695 dark bronze or 630 satin stainless steel. The Don-Jo GLP-307 and LP-307, both 2-5/8 inches by 7 inches for aluminum entrance doors, are identified by out-swing configuration rather than by hand. For a fleet order across many storefront openings, that difference decides whether each door has to be surveyed individually or counted as one line.
15) Is the Ives LG11 rated for commercial use or is it a residential product?
Commercial. It's a heavy gauge latch guard for aluminum storefront and entrance openings, in 12 gauge steel or 13 gauge stainless, and it's the kind of part specified on office buildings, schools, healthcare, and retail entrances rather than on a house.
