Don-jo ELP208DU Latch Protector Cylinder Plate Dark Bronze

Product Description

The DON-JO ELP208DU is a latch protector cylinder plate designed to reinforce door frames at electric strike installations. The plate measures 3.5 inches wide by 8 inches long and installs over the latch bolt cutout on the strike-side frame, covering the gap that would otherwise allow prying or shimming attacks. Finished in dark bronze, it blends with standard commercial and residential door hardware. Door hardware installers and locksmiths fit this plate as part of a complete electric strike assembly to increase the security and finished appearance of the opening.

This plate is used in commercial and residential access control applications where an electric strike is mortised into the door frame or jamb. It is suited to hollow metal, wood, and aluminum frame doors in interior and exterior openings. The dark bronze finish coordinates with matching lever sets, strikes, and hinges in mid-tone bronze hardware packages. It ships as a single unit and is sold individually.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed locksmiths or door hardware technicians. Disengage power to the electric strike circuit before working on the frame to avoid accidental strike actuation. Fasten the plate to the frame using appropriate fasteners for the frame material, and verify the plate does not interfere with strike operation or latch bolt travel before restoring power. Local access control codes and door hardware specifications should be consulted for compliance requirements.
