Don-Jo GLP-307-RHR Latch Protector – Aluminum Storefront, Out Swing, Right Hand Reverse, 12 Ga. Steel

The Don-Jo GLP-307-RHR is a heavy-duty latch protector engineered specifically for outswinging aluminum storefront doors where a pull handle is mounted within 2-1/2 inches of the cylinder — the exact geometry that rules out standard latch guards. Don-Jo Manufacturing builds this latch guard from 12-gauge (.104) steel, yielding a rigid plate that resists spreading and prying at the latch bolt on vulnerable out-swing applications. At 2-5/8" wide by 7" long, the GLP-307-RHR covers the latch area with enough surface to deter bypass attempts without interfering with the storefront frame or adjacent hardware. This SKU is handed Right Hand Reverse (RHR) and is available in three finish options: 630 satin stainless steel (US32D), Duranodic dark bronze (Don-Jo DU), and silver lacquer (Don-Jo SL) — finishes chosen to coordinate with the anodized aluminum framing common in commercial storefront systems. Specifiers sourcing a latch protector for glass storefront entries, commercial aluminum door frames, or replacement latch guard applications on out-swing doors will find the GLP-307-RHR a purpose-built solution.

GLP-307-RHR Latch Protector – Key Features

• Aluminum Storefront Compatibility: Designed to work with aluminum storefront doors where the pull handle is positioned within 2-1/2 inches of the cylinder — a critical clearance requirement unique to this latch guard.
• Out-Swing Application: Engineered for outswinging commercial doors, where the latch bolt is most exposed to forced-entry attempts and requires a latch protector for proper security coverage.
• Right Hand Reverse (RHR) Handing: Factory-handed RHR to match the door swing and hardware layout; verify handing before ordering, as this is a specific-handed SKU.
• 12-Gauge (.104) Steel Construction: Heavy 12 ga. steel body provides a rigid, pry-resistant latch guard plate suitable for demanding commercial storefront door hardware installations.
• 2-5/8" x 7" Plate Size: Sized to cover the latch bolt zone on commercial aluminum door stiles while keeping the profile clean and frame-friendly.
• Three Commercial Finishes: Available in 630 satin stainless (US32D), Duranodic dark bronze (DU), and silver lacquer (SL) to coordinate with anodized aluminum storefront framing and adjacent door hardware finishes.
• Shelf Pack of 10: Packaged in quantities of 10, making the GLP-307-RHR practical for contractors and distributors stocking multiple storefront door projects.
