Pro-Lok - 6″ x 1-7/8″ Mortise Side Prep

A wrap around guard like this one is made for exactly that: it repairs and reinforces a wood or metal door that's been damaged by forced entry, wrapping the lock edge so the split material is clamped and the lock has solid bearing again. It buys back a door that would otherwise be replaced. If the damage runs beyond the 5 x 12 inch footprint or the door core is crushed through, the door itself has to go.

Yes, the prep is cut for a 2-3/4 inch backset. That's the usual commercial backset; if the existing lock is bored at 2-3/8 inches, the latch hole in the guard will not line up.

It has a mortise hinge cutout, so it goes on over a door edge with mortised hinges rather than forcing you to remove or shim them. The side prep panel is 1-7/8 x 6 inches and the face plate opening is 1-1/2 x 8 inches.

Overall size is 5 x 12 inches, wrapping the lock edge and both faces around the latch area. That's a localized reinforcement at the strike and lock zone, not a full-height edge guard, so a door split further up or down the stile needs a longer wrap or a full door edge channel.

Both. It's rated for wood or metal doors, and for residential, commercial or industrial openings. On hollow metal you're reinforcing a dented or peeled lock edge; on wood you're clamping a split stile back together.

Yes. The guard wraps the door edge and carries its own face plate cutout (1-1/2 x 8 inches) and side prep (1-7/8 x 6 inches), so the latch and lock come out, the wrap goes on, and the hardware reinstalls through it at the 2-3/4 inch backset. Plan the job with the door off the hinges or at least the lock pulled.

Two: Duronodic (dark bronze) and Stainless Steel. On a fleet of units, Duronodic blends with dark bronze or painted entries and stainless matches brushed chrome or 630 hardware, which is the usual pick for institutional and multi-family corridors.
