Pro-Lok EDL-130-B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a Pro-Lok EDL-130 keyed door guard chain work on a metal door, or is it wood only?
Both. The EDL-130 keyed chain guard mounts to wood or metal doors, and the mounting hardware comes in the box. On a hollow metal door or frame you're fastening into sheet steel, so plan on the fasteners landing in the frame's reinforced areas rather than a thin skin section.
2) What is the difference between a keyed door guard chain and a plain chain latch?
A plain chain latch can only be released from inside, and anyone who gets a hand through the gap can slip it. The EDL-130 adds a sliding bolt that locks the mechanism, and it takes a key from either the inside or the outside. That means a landlord, manager, or maintenance tech can release the guard from the corridor side, which a standard chain will never let you do. If nobody needs outside access, a plain chain is the simpler and faster install.
3) Can I get into the unit from the hallway if the tenant has the Pro-Lok EDL-130 chain guard engaged?
Yes, with the key. The keyed chain guard takes a key from the outside as well as the inside, so the guard can be released from the corridor without cutting the chain. That is the reason this style gets specified in apartments and assisted living where staff need lawful entry. Two keys ship with it.
4) How big are the Pro-Lok EDL-130 door guard mounting plates?
The fasteners measure 2-1/4 x 4-1/4 inches. That is the footprint you need clear on the door and on the jamb, so check the flat area beside your existing deadbolt and any weatherstrip or door stop before you lay it out.
5) Is the Pro-Lok EDL-130 door guard rated for commercial use?
Pro-Lok classes the EDL-130 keyed chain guard as residential hardware. It fits apartments, condos, and single family doors well. For a high traffic commercial opening, or anything on a fire rated or egress door, use a commercial grade secondary lock instead, since a chain guard is not an egress device.
6) Does the Pro-Lok EDL-130 keyed chain guard let you open the door partway to talk or vent?
That's what it's for. Engaged, the chain holds the door to a few inches of opening, enough to see who is at the door or to let air through, while the keyed bolt keeps the mechanism from being released. It is a secondary guard, not a substitute for the deadbolt, so it works alongside the primary lock rather than replacing it.
7) What finishes does the Pro-Lok EDL-130 door guard come in?
Two: brass and chrome. Pick brass to match warm tone knobs and levers, chrome to match satin or polished chrome and stainless trim. Both carry the same mechanism, so finish is purely a match to the rest of the door hardware in the building.
8) Do I need to buy keys or screws separately for the Pro-Lok EDL-130?
No. Installation hardware and two keys are included with the keyed chain guard. If you're standardizing a whole building, order per door rather than expecting extra key blanks in the box.
