Ives IVE-LG13-US32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Ives LG13 lock guard work on a cylindrical lock, or is it only for mortise locks?
The LG13 is built for type 161 cylindrical locks, the ANSI 156.2 Series 2000 prep, and that includes Monolock and Unilock cylindrical sets. It covers the gap between door and frame at the latch point on that prep specifically. If the opening has a mortise lock rather than a 161 cylindrical bore, this is not the guard for it.
2) Does the Ives LG13 latch protector have to be ordered by hand, left or right?
No handing to specify. The LG13 is non-handed, so one part number covers both left and right hand openings. For a property manager buying several at once, that means a single line item rather than splitting the order by door swing.
3) Is the Ives LG13 lock guard fire rated for use on a labeled door?
UL10C Listed at 3 hours. That rating is what lets it go on a fire rated opening in a school, hospital, or government building without breaking the label, which is the usual sticking point when adding surface hardware to a rated door.
4) How big is the Ives LG13 latch guard, and will it fit a narrow stile door?
The LG13 measures W: 1-1/2 inches, H: 7 inches. That 1-1/2 inch width is narrow for a latch protector, so it sits on stiles that will not take a wider plate. For comparison, the Don-Jo LP-307 for aluminum storefront doors is 2-5/8 by 7 inches, and the Don-Jo NELP-207 is 3-1/2 by 6.5 inches. Measure the flat area of your stile at the latch before choosing.
5) What is the difference between the Ives LG13 lock guard and the Don-Jo LP-307 latch protector?
They cover different door types. The Ives LG13 is built for type 161 cylindrical locks (ANSI 156.2 Series 2000), including Monolock and Unilock, and measures W: 1-1/2", H: 7" so it sits over the latch area of a cylindrical lockset. The Don-Jo LP-307 is a latch protector for aluminum storefront entrance doors in 12-gauge steel, 2-5/8" x 7", for out swing openings. If the opening is a hollow metal or wood door with a 161-prep cylindrical lock, the LG13 is the one sized to it; if it is an aluminum storefront leaf, the LP-307 is the profile made for that stile.
6) Can I use a lock guard made for an out swing door on an in swing opening?
No. The Don-Jo LP-307, GLP-307 and NELP-207 latch protectors are all specified for out swing doors, where the guard shields the exposed latch on the pull side. The Ives LG13 is non-handed and works with all type 161 cylindrical locks, so one part number covers the openings regardless of hand. Check the swing before ordering an out swing protector; a non-handed guard removes that decision from the takeoff.
7) What latch guard should I use on a door with an exit device instead of a cylindrical lock?
Look at the Trimco PG8000 series panic and latch guards, which are built to cover panic hardware as well as latches. The Ives LG13 is engineered specifically for type 161 cylindrical locks in a W: 1-1/2", H: 7" size, which is the coverage a cylindrical latch needs, not the wider footprint a panic device latch presents. Match the guard to the hardware already in the door.
8) Which latch protector can I put on a fire rated door?
The Ives LG13 is UL10C Listed (3 hour), so it carries the certification a fire rated opening requires and it can go on those doors alongside the type 161 cylindrical lock it is designed for. It is a commercial device, non-handed, in 12 gauge steel or 13 gauge stainless steel. On a rated opening, confirm the guard itself is listed before it goes on the door - a protector that punches through the leaf without a listing puts the assembly's rating in question.
9) How does the Ives LG13 lock guard mount, and are the screws visible from outside?
It mounts on 2 welded mounting studs, and there are no exposed fasteners on the face of the unit. Nothing on the outside for someone to back out with a driver, and no screw heads showing on a lobby or storefront door. The studs come as part of the unit.
10) What is the security frame pin on the Ives LG13 for?
The frame pin keeps the door and frame from being spread apart. Someone attacking a latch typically pries the door away from the jamb far enough to clear the bolt; the pin ties the two together at that point so the gap cannot open. Combined with the guard body closing the door to frame opening at the latch, it targets pry attacks rather than picking.
11) Can I get the Ives LG13 latch protector in stainless steel?
Two ways to buy it. The 630 satin stainless steel version, LG13-US32D, is the one for exterior and wet or coastal openings and for matching stainless push plates and pulls already on the building. The 600 primer paint version, LG13-USP, ships ready for the painter to match the door color. Material is steel or stainless steel depending on which you take.
12) Do I need a latch guard if the door has an exit device instead of a knob or lever?
Not this one. The LG13 is cut for a type 161 cylindrical lock. Doors with panic hardware take a panic guard, which is a longer plate covering the exit device latch area, and the Trimco PG8000 Series covers both panic and latch guard applications. Match the guard to what is actually latching the door.
13) Can I standardize one lock guard across a whole building of cylindrical locksets?
That is what the LG13 is set up for. It fits all type 161 cylindrical locks including Monolock and Unilock, and it is non-handed, so a single part number covers every door in the facility running that prep regardless of swing. Pick one finish, 630 satin stainless or 600 primer paint, and the whole fleet matches.
14) How do the Don-Jo GLP-307 and NELP-207 differ from each other and from the Ives LG13?
All three are latch protection, but they cover different footprints. The Don-Jo GLP-307 is an entrance-function protector for aluminum entrance doors at 2-5/8" x 7", out swing. The NELP-207 is 12 gauge steel at 3-1/2" x 6.5", also for aluminum entrance doors and out swing, so it is shorter and wider than the GLP-307. The Ives LG13 is the narrow one at W: 1-1/2", H: 7", cut for a type 161 cylindrical lock rather than a storefront stile, and it is non-handed. Measure the stile width and identify the lock prep, and the right one of the three is decided for you.
15) Is there a lock guard that mounts without visible screws on the face?
The Ives LG13 uses 2 welded mounting studs and has no exposed fasteners on the face of the unit, so the outside reads as a clean plate with nothing for a pry bar or a driver to catch. It also carries a security frame pin that resists door and frame separation, and the design virtually eliminates the opening between door and frame at the latch point. It comes in 630 satin stainless steel and 600 primer paint.
16) Is the Ives LG13 gauge heavy enough for a high traffic commercial door?
It is a commercial rated part, built in 12 gauge steel or 13 gauge stainless steel. That is plate thickness meant to take an attack rather than decorative trim thickness, and it is the reason it holds up on apartment entries, school corridors, and warehouse doors where a thin escutcheon would deform.
