Trimco 4016 Series Swing Arm Door Guard

Plan for a footprint of 2-1/2 x 5-1/8 inches overall. That is the full envelope of the guard body, so on a narrow-stile opening or a door with heavy applied trim near the strike edge, measure the flat area you have before you commit the pattern.

Yes, and there is a part for exactly that condition. A black nylon spacer is available for openings with applied casing, which shims the mounting out so the arm clears the trim and sits parallel to the door face. Order it along with the guard when the casing stands proud of the jamb.

Yes, the 4016 is ADA compliant. The swing arm style is what usually gets specified over a chain on accessible units because it is operated with a closed fist or a loose grip rather than pinching a small chain ball into a slot.

For a plain flush jamb, just the guard in the finish you want, in one of seven finishes. Two add-ons cover the openings that are not plain: the adhesive edge protector (1 x 1/2 inch) if the door edge needs protecting where the arm bears, and the black nylon spacer if the frame has applied casing that the guard has to clear. Both are separate items, so add them to the order rather than assuming they ship in the box.

Seven finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. If you are matching existing hardware in a building, 626 satin chrome and 613 oil rubbed bronze are the two that pair with the bulk of commercial lever and lock finishes, and the 605/606 brasses match older brass suites.

Trimco sells an adhesive mounted edge protector for the 4016 to take that wear. It measures 1 x 1/2 inch and sticks to the door edge where the arm bears when the guard is engaged. On a multifamily or hotel door being pulled against the guard several times a day, that piece is what keeps the finish and the edge intact, so it is worth adding to the order rather than buying later.

A chain guard relies on a thin link and a small ball sliding in a track, and it is the piece that fails first on a door that gets forced or pulled hard. The 4016 uses a solid hinged arm in bronze or brass instead, and it folds a full 180 degrees clear of the door instead of dangling. It is also the choice when accessibility is in play, since the 4016 is ADA compliant and a small chain ball generally is not friendly to limited hand strength.

Commercial. The 4016 is a commercial grade guard built in solid brass or bronze, and Trimco lists it for commercial and industrial buildings, government and military facilities, hospitality, multifamily and mixed use, and offices. If you are standardizing across a portfolio of apartment or hotel doors, this is the class of part that holds up to that cycle count better than a stamped residential guard.

Solid bronze or brass. That is what lets the same part carry plated finishes like 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome as well as the living finishes 613 oil rubbed bronze and 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, and it is why the arm resists being bent open the way a light guard will.
