Don-Jo LELP-208 Electric Strike Latch Guard | Wide Rose Cylindrical Lock Security

The Don-Jo LELP-208 Electric Strike Latch Guard is a high-security reinforcement shield specifically engineered for doors equipped with wide rose cylindrical locks and electric strikes. Measuring 3-1/2" wide x 8" high, this heavy-duty protector is designed with an offset profile that provides ample clearance for oversized lever roses while ensuring the latch and strike interface is completely shielded from external tampering. It is the premier solution for commercial door security in facilities utilizing electronic access control.

Constructed from industrial-grade 12-gauge steel, the LELP-208 creates a formidable physical barrier that protects against prying of the door and "shimming" attacks. It is an essential component for commercial door retrofitting in hospitals, universities, and high-traffic office complexes where protecting sensitive latching mechanisms is a priority.

Key Features & Performance

• Wide Rose Optimization: Specifically contoured to clear wide rose cylindrical levers, ensuring high-security shielding without interfering with the lockset's operation or aesthetic.
• Anti-Pry Shielding: Effectively "blanks out" the gap between the door and the frame, preventing unauthorized entry via prying, "loiding," or mechanical manipulation of the latch.
• Heavy-Duty 12-Gauge Steel: Manufactured from thick, cold-rolled steel to provide maximum resistance against bending, drilling, and blunt-force impact.
  
• Electric Strike Compatibility: Optimized for use with most standard commercial electric strikes, protecting the internal solenoid and latch keeper from exterior reach.
  
• Architectural Finish Options: Available in SL (Silver Lacquer) to match satin chrome hardware or DU (Duronodic/Dark Bronze) to coordinate with dark anodized storefront finishes.
