PDQ 583689 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the PDQ 583 latch protector used for?
The PDQ 583 is a latch guard for commercial outswinging doors. It covers the gap between door and frame at the latch so a pry bar or shim card cannot reach the latchbolt. The 583 is the 3-3/8 inch diameter notched style, the notch clearing the strike or latch area. It is a commercial-rated accessory, not a residential trim piece.
2) What finishes does the PDQ 583 latch protector come in?
Two finishes: 689 aluminum and 695 duro bronze. Order codes are 583689 for aluminum and 583695 for duro bronze. If you are matching stops and holders already on the openings, 689 is the common painted aluminum match and 695 the dark bronze match.
3) Should I use the 3-3/8 inch notched latch protector or the 12 inch interlock type?
The 3-3/8 inch notched 583 is a compact round guard that covers the latch area only, which suits a single latchbolt on an outswing door. PDQ also makes a 12 inch interlock latch protector in the same general hardware line; the longer interlock style spans more of the door edge and engages the frame, which is the choice where you need coverage beyond the immediate latch or added resistance to spreading the gap.
4) Does a latch protector go on the inside or outside of the door?
Latch protectors like the PDQ 583 mount on the exterior face of an outswinging door, over the latch, where the gap is accessible. On an inswinging door the latch is not exposed from outside, so a latch guard of this type is not what you need there.
5) Is the PDQ 583 the same thing as a door guard?
No. PDQ lists latch protectors and a door guard as separate items in its general hardware line. The 583 is the 3-3/8 inch notched latch protector, which shields the latchbolt area specifically. If you are after edge or astragal style protection for a pair of doors, the door guard is the different part.
6) Can I standardize PDQ door accessories across a building with the 583?
Yes, the 583 sits in PDQ's general hardware line alongside wall stops, floor stops, kick down stops, roller stops, roller latches, ball catches, hooks, silencers, a 160 degree viewer and a dust proof strike, so a facility can spec one brand across the openings. Finish offerings vary by model, so check that the finish you pick for the latch protectors is offered on the stops and holders you are also buying.
