Latch Gard LG140 x SF710 Door Latch Guard | 10" High-Security Shield

The Latch Gard LG140 x SF710 is an industrial-grade security plate designed to defend commercial and residential doors against forced entry and prying. Measuring 2-1/2" x 10" with a 3/8" offset, this shield is specifically engineered to fit over doors equipped with a rose or escutcheon up to 2-3/4" wide. It serves as a definitive solution for door security, protecting the latch bolt from "jimmying" attempts while acting as a permanent solution for door restoration for frames that have been damaged by previous break-in attempts.

Fabricated from heavy 12-gauge plate steel (.105" thick), the LG140 provides a robust physical barrier that helps prevent expensive repairs by discouraging vandalism before it occurs. The 3/8" offset is designed to clear the door stop, making it an essential component for any solution for door surface repair on outswinging doors. Its sleek profile and durable construction make it a vital upgrade for retail storefronts, office entrances, and utility rooms.
