Latch Gard LG160 x SF710 Door Latch Guard | 12" Narrow Stile Security Plate

The Latch Gard LG160 x SF710 is a professional-grade security plate engineered to protect commercial aluminum entrance doors from forced entry and tampering. Measuring 2-5/8" x 12" with a 7/32" offset, this heavy-duty shield is specifically designed to fit Adams-Rite locks typically found on narrow stile storefront doors. It serves as a definitive solution for door security, preventing intruders from prying or "jimmying" the latch bolt while simultaneously acting as a permanent solution for door restoration for previously damaged door frames.

Constructed from heavy 12-gauge plate steel (.105" thick), the LG160 provides a robust physical barrier that prevents expensive repairs caused by break-in attempts. The unique 7/32" offset allows the plate to clear the door stop, making it an essential component for any solution for door surface repair. This model features a 1-1/2" cylinder hole designed to fit directly over the lock cylinder, ensuring the lock remains accessible while the latch remains fully protected.
