Pro-Lok - 13″ Latch Protector w/1 Pin

No. The ELP-240-1 latch protector mounts on out-opening doors only, where the latch and strike gap are exposed on the outside face. On an inswinging door the latch edge is already protected by the stop, and this plate has nothing to attach to. If your doors swing in, a latch guard is the wrong part for the opening.

The plate measures 13 x 3-5/8 inches, which is long enough to run over a latch and a deadbolt on the same door edge rather than just the one point. Pro-Lok states it works with backsets, deadbolts and lock sets, so a storeroom door with a lever above a deadbolt is exactly the case this length is for. Measure your center-to-center between the two before ordering so the 13 inch run actually spans both.

Neither. The 13 inch Pro-Lok latch protector is reversible, so the same part covers a left or right handed out-opening door. One stocked item works both directions, which is what you want when you are standardizing across a building and do not want to inventory handed plates.

It ships with the security pin, the mounting hardware, and one spacer to adjust the offset between door and jamb. That spacer matters: if your door sits proud of the frame, the plate needs packing out so the pin lines up. Nothing else is required for a standard install, though most installers use security screws or pin the fasteners on an exterior opening.

Probably, if you only need to cover the latch on a glass entrance. At 13 x 3-5/8 inches the Pro-Lok plate is sized to run across a latch and deadbolt together. For a single latch point on an aluminum storefront door, a shorter guard fits the stile better: the Don-Jo LP-307 is 2-5/8 x 7 inches in 12-gauge steel for out-swing aluminum storefront entrances, and the Don-Jo GLP-307 is the same 2-5/8 x 7 inch footprint for aluminum entrance doors. The Don-Jo NELP-207 runs 3-1/2 x 6-1/2 inches if you need a wider face in a shorter length.

Both are out-swing latch protectors, but they cover different amounts of the door edge. The Pro-Lok ELP-240-1 is 13 inches by 3-5/8 inches and carries an anti-spread security pin that engages the frame to keep the door from being pried away from the jamb. The Don-Jo LP-307 is a 2-5/8 inch by 7 inch guard in 12-gauge steel built for aluminum storefront entrance doors. The Pro-Lok plate is the taller and wider of the two and adds the pin; the LP-307 is the narrower storefront-profile guard. Choose by how much stile face you have to land on and whether you need the anti-spread pin.

The Don-Jo NELP-207 is a 12-gauge steel latch protector measuring 3-1/2 inches by 6.5 inches for aluminum entrance doors on out swings. It is close to the Pro-Lok ELP-240-1 in width - 3-1/2 inches against 3-5/8 inches - but roughly half its 13 inch height, so it covers the latch area without running the length of the lock stile. The Pro-Lok is the one that carries the anti-spread security pin and the spacer for adjusting offset between door and jamb; the NELP-207 is the shorter plain guard.

They are different parts. The Trimco PG8000 Series covers panic guards and latch guards, so a door with a rim exit device is served by the panic guard form in that series, which is shaped around the device strike rather than a lockset latch. The Pro-Lok ELP-240-1 is a 13 inch by 3-5/8 inch latch protector for out-opening doors, compatible with backsets, deadbolts and lock sets, with an anti-spread security pin. If the opening has a panic bar and rim strike, specify from the PG8000 panic guard side; if it has a cylindrical lock or deadbolt, the ELP-240-1 addresses that latch.

The anti-spread function is specific to the Pro-Lok ELP-240-1, which includes a security pin designed to prevent spreading of the door from the frame, along with hardware and one spacer to adjust the offset between door and jamb. The Don-Jo GLP-307, LP-307 and NELP-207 are out-swing latch protectors that shield the latch area on aluminum entrance doors. If the failure you are correcting is a pried or spread frame rather than a tool at the latch, the pinned Pro-Lok plate is the one that addresses it.

It stops the door being pried away from the frame. The pin on the ELP-240-1 engages so an attacker cannot spread the door and jamb apart far enough to slip the latch or deadbolt past the strike. The steel plate alone blocks a tool reaching the latch; the pin handles the other half of the attack, which is why this version carries one.

That is what the included spacer is for. The ELP-240-1 comes with one spacer to adjust the offset between door and jamb, so the plate sits flat and the anti-spread pin lands where it should instead of binding or leaving the plate standing off the face. Check your door-to-frame offset first; a badly out-of-square opening needs the gap addressed before any guard goes on.

They share the same 2-5/8 inch by 7 inch out-swing footprint for aluminum entrance doors, so they land on the same stile. The published difference is material call-out: the LP-307 is specified as 12-gauge steel for aluminum storefront entrance doors, while the GLP-307 is described as a latch protector for aluminum entrance doors. Both are entrance-function guards. If you are matching an existing plate across a run of storefront doors, order by the exact part number already on the doors rather than treating the two as interchangeable.

Split the standard by door type rather than forcing one part everywhere. The Pro-Lok ELP-240-1 is rated for residential, commercial and industrial use on out-opening doors and works with backsets, deadbolts and lock sets, with the anti-spread pin for openings where prying is the concern, and it comes in Aluminum, Polished Brass, Black, Mirrored Chrome, Duronodic and Stainless Steel so it can be matched to existing trim. For narrow aluminum storefront stiles, the Don-Jo LP-307 at 2-5/8 inches by 7 inches in 12-gauge steel is the storefront-profile guard, and the Don-Jo NELP-207 at 3-1/2 inches by 6.5 inches covers wider aluminum entrance stiles. Openings with exit devices fall to the Trimco PG8000 Series panic guards.

No. The Pro-Lok ELP-240-1 is specified for out-opening doors, and the Don-Jo GLP-307, LP-307 and NELP-207 are all listed as out-swing latch protectors. A guard of this type mounts on the exterior face to cover the gap the latch sits behind, which only exists when the door swings away from you. On an in-swinging opening the latch is already shielded by the stop, so the part to specify is different hardware entirely - confirm the swing at the opening before ordering any of these.

Six: aluminum, polished brass, black, mirrored chrome, duronodic, and stainless steel. Duronodic and aluminum are the two that match typical anodized storefront frames, mirrored chrome and polished brass suit a glass entrance with brass or chrome hardware, and stainless is the usual pick for exposed exterior or coastal openings.

Steel construction, and Pro-Lok rates the ELP-240-1 for residential, commercial and industrial use. ZenSupply classes it as commercial door hardware. For a retail back door, a multi-family service entry, or a warehouse man door, this is the grade of plate you want rather than a light decorative guard.

Yes. The 13 inch Pro-Lok latch protector is sold in retail packaging or in bulk poly bag, with the bulk version denoted ELP-240-1-XX-BULK. If you are hanging guards across a portfolio of out-opening doors, the poly bag saves you unpacking dozens of retail cards, and standardizing on the reversible plate means one line item covers every door regardless of hand.
