Ives LG732D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Ives LG7 lock guard work on both left-hand and right-hand swinging doors?
The LG7 is non-handed, so one part covers both left and right swing openings. Nothing to specify on the order and no field modification to flip it.
2) What size is the Ives LG7 latch guard, and will it cover a mortise lock latch area?
The LG7 measures 3 inches wide by 11-1/2 inches high, which is the taller plate size meant to run past the latch on mortise or cylindrical locks. It sits over the latch bolt area to block pry and shim attempts.
3) Is the Ives LG7 lock guard approved for use on a fire door?
It is UL 10C Listed with a 3-hour fire rating, so it can go on rated openings where the building code requires it. That listing is one of the main reasons it gets specified in healthcare, education, and government work.
4) How does the Ives LG7 latch protector mount, and does it come with fasteners?
It through-bolts to the door with carriage bolts and nuts, and those are supplied in the box. Through-bolting means you drill the door rather than relying on surface screws, which is what makes it tamper resistant, so plan on a drill and access to both faces of the door.
5) What latch protector should I use on an aluminum storefront door instead of the Ives LG7?
The Ives LG7 is a 3 inch by 11-1/2 inch stainless steel guard through-bolted to the door for use with mortise or cylindrical locks on commercial doors. Aluminum storefront stiles are narrow and usually will not take an 11-1/2 inch tall plate at the lock. For those openings the Don-Jo LP-307 is built specifically for aluminum storefront entrance doors, measuring 2-5/8 inches by 7 inches in 12-gauge steel for an out-swing application. The Don-Jo GLP-307 is the same 2-5/8 inch by 7 inch size for aluminum entrance doors, also out-swing. Match the guard to the stile width you actually have before ordering.
6) I need to protect an exit device latch, not a lockset latch. What should I look at besides the Ives LG7?
The Ives LG7 is intended for use with mortise or cylindrical locks and covers the latch bolt area on that type of opening. Where the door carries a panic device, the Trimco PG8000 Series is a panic and latch guard line, which is the product family built for exit device applications. If the opening in question is a standard lockset door, the LG7 at 3 inches by 11-1/2 inches in stainless steel applies directly.
7) What is the Ives LG7 made of and will it hold up outdoors?
13 gauge stainless steel, supplied in 630 satin stainless. Stainless resists corrosion, so it suits exterior entrances as well as interior commercial traffic.
8) What is the difference between a latch guard like the Ives LG7 and a panic guard?
The LG7 is a latch protector, it covers the latch bolt area on a mortise or cylindrical lock to stop prying and shimming. If the opening has an exit device instead, you want a panic guard sized to that hardware, such as the Trimco PG8000 Series panic and latch guards.
9) Can I standardize on the Ives LG7 across a building's exterior doors?
Yes, and that is the usual way it gets bought. Because it is non-handed and comes in one finish, 630 satin stainless, a single part number covers every out-swing opening in the facility regardless of hand, which keeps the MRO stock list short.
10) Is the Don-Jo NELP-207 a substitute for the Ives LG7 latch guard?
They protect the same area but are sized for different doors. The Don-Jo NELP-207 is a 12 gauge steel guard measuring 3-1/2 inches by 6.5 inches for aluminum entrance doors in an out-swing application. The Ives LG7 is a 3 inch wide by 11-1/2 inch tall stainless steel plate, non-handed, for commercial doors with mortise or cylindrical locks. The NELP-207 is wider and much shorter, so it will not cover the same vertical span on a hollow metal or wood door, and the LG7 is taller than most aluminum stiles will accept. Choose by door type first, then confirm the plate footprint clears the lock trim.
11) My opening is fire rated and I need to standardize latch guards across the building. Does the Ives LG7 cover that better than the Don-Jo aluminum door guards?
For a fire rated opening the Ives LG7 is UL10C Listed for a 3 hour rating and is a commercial-grade stainless steel guard, non-handed so one part number covers both left and right swing doors in the facility. The Don-Jo LP-307 and GLP-307 are described for aluminum storefront and aluminum entrance doors in an out-swing configuration, which is typically an exterior storefront rather than a rated interior opening. If your standardization target is rated hollow metal or wood doors with mortise or cylindrical locks, the LG7 is the one part number to specify.
12) Do I have to buy mounting hardware separately if I switch from a Don-Jo latch protector to the Ives LG7?
No. The Ives LG7 ships with carriage bolts and nuts, and it installs through-bolted through the door, so no separate fastener order is needed for a standard installation. Keep in mind the LG7 is a 3 inch by 11-1/2 inch stainless plate, while the Don-Jo LP-307 is 2-5/8 inches by 7 inches, so the existing through-holes from a shorter guard will not line up and the door face will need new prep.
13) Will the Ives LG7 interfere with the door closing against the frame?
It should not, but the plate has to be laid out so the bolt holes clear the lock body and the plate edge clears the stop. Use the guard itself as a template, mark and drill, then cycle the door and check clearance at the frame before final tightening.
