Pro-Lok ELP-200 Latch Protector, 6" Center Rose

No. The ELP-200 is built for out-swinging doors, where the latch and strike edge are exposed on the outside face and can be jimmied. On an in-swing opening the latch is already protected by the frame stop, so a latch guard does nothing there. If your door swings out toward the attacker, this is the right type of part.

Yes, the plate is notched at the center to clear a rose of 3 inches or smaller. Measure the outside diameter of the rose or trim ring on your lever or knob first; anything larger than 3 inches will not seat into the notch. The plate overall measures 6 by 1-13/16 inches.

Size and target opening. The ELP-200 is a 6 by 1-13/16 inch plate notched at the center for a rose up to 3 inches, so it suits a door with a knob or lever trim in the way. The Don-Jo LP-307 is a 2-5/8 by 7 inch 12-gauge steel guard made for aluminum storefront entrance doors, out swing, and the Don-Jo NELP-207 is a 3-1/2 by 6-1/2 inch 12-gauge version for aluminum entrance doors. The wider Don-Jo plates cover more of the door edge but need the stile room to do it; the narrow Pro-Lok plate fits where a storefront stile or adjacent glass will not take a 3-inch-plus wide plate.

The ELP-200 is a 6 inch x 1-13/16 inch plate notched at the center for a 3 inch or smaller rose, which fits doors where a cylindrical lock or deadbolt rose sits on the exterior face. For aluminum entrance and storefront doors, the Don-Jo LP-307 at 2-5/8 inch x 7 inch in 12-gauge steel and the Don-Jo GLP-307 at 2-5/8 inch x 7 inch are built for that opening type, and the Don-Jo NELP-207 covers aluminum entrance doors at 3-1/2 inch x 6.5 inch in 12-gauge steel. All are out-swing protectors.

Both. The ELP-200 covers and obstructs access to the latch or the deadbolt, and it is stated as compatible with deadbolts and lock sets. With the center notch it will straddle a lockset rose while the body of the plate shields the bolt area of the gap between door and frame.

No, mounting hardware comes with the plate. Nothing else is required to hang it beyond a drill for the fastener holes if your door is not already prepped.

Not really. The ELP-200 is notched for a lockset rose up to 3 inches, which is the geometry of a knob or lever opening. For an exit device you want a panic guard sized to the device rail, such as the Trimco PG8000 Series panic and latch guards. Don-Jo also makes the GLP-307 entrance-door latch protector at 2-5/8 by 7 inches for out-swing aluminum entrance doors if the opening has conventional lock trim.

The ELP-200 gives you 6 inches of vertical coverage centered on the lock, with a plate depth of 1-13/16 inches across the face. That is enough to bridge the gap above and below a single latch or deadbolt point. If you have both a deadbolt and a knob latch spaced several inches apart, measure the vertical distance between them before ordering, because a 6 inch plate centered on one may not reach the other.

They are not interchangeable by size. The Pro-Lok ELP-200 is 6 inches x 1-13/16 inches with a center notch for a rose up to 3 inches. The Don-Jo NELP-207 is 3-1/2 inches x 6.5 inches in 12-gauge steel for aluminum entrance doors. The NELP-207 is substantially wider, so it will cover a different footprint on the door face and will not drop into the same screw pattern.

Three: aluminum, brass, and chrome. Pick the one that matches the lockset trim already on the door, since the plate sits directly against the rose and any mismatch is obvious from a few feet away. Property managers standardizing a building usually run one finish across all out-swing openings.

It is classed as commercial, and the steel plate is stated for residential, commercial, and industrial use. Apartment back doors, tenant storage rooms, and out-swinging service doors are all in scope for it.

The Pro-Lok ELP-200 is offered in aluminum, brass, and chrome finishes, so a property manager standardizing across a building can match what is already hanging on the other doors. Among the alternatives, the Don-Jo GLP-307 and LP-307 are cataloged at 2-5/8 inch x 7 inch for aluminum entrance and storefront doors, and the Trimco PG8000 is a panic and latch guard series.
