Don-jo ILP-212 In-Swinging Latch Protector | 12-Inch Extended Security Guard

The Don-jo ILP-212 Latch Protector is an extended high-security solution specifically designed for in-swinging doors. At 12 inches in length, this protector offers double the coverage of standard guards, making it the ideal choice for doors where both a cylindrical lockset and a deadbolt need to be shielded simultaneously. This heavy-duty security plate creates a formidable physical barrier over the latch and bolt area, significantly hardening the entryway against forced entry.

Constructed from rugged 14-gauge steel, the ILP-212 is engineered to provide maximum resistance to physical attacks. It is a premier commercial door security component that effectively resists jimmying and prying, providing peace of mind for property managers, business owners, and residents.

Key Features & Performance

• Extended 12" Coverage: The increased length allows for the protection of multiple lock points on a single door, shielding both the primary latch and an auxiliary deadbolt from tampering.
• Anti-Shimming Technology: Specifically designed to prevent the use of credit cards or shims to "loid" the latch, a common method used for unauthorized entry.
  
• In-Swing Specialized Design: Contoured specifically for the frame geometry of in-swinging doors, ensuring a tight, secure fit that leaves no room for prying tools.
• Superior Durability: Made from industrial-grade 14-gauge steel, ensuring the plate will not bend or deform under the stress of a break-in attempt.
  
• High-Security Hardware: Supplied with one-way security screws that prevent an intruder from simply unscrewing the protector from the outside.
