Don-jo TL2 Temporary Lock Latch Strike Combo

Product Description

The DON-JO TL2 is a temporary lock latch and strike combo designed for use during construction and pre-hang door installation phases. This two-piece unit includes both the latch and the strike plate, allowing a door to be secured before permanent hardware is installed. The prime coat finish makes it ready for painting or field finishing to match the final door assembly. At 0.4 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle on the job site. Carpenters, door hardware installers, and general contractors use this product to keep doors closed and protected during active construction.

The TL2 is suited for residential and light commercial door applications where a temporary but functional latch is needed during the rough-in and finish stages of construction. It allows the door to remain operational and secured without committing to the final lockset installation. The prime coat finish supports field painting, which is standard practice on new construction door frames and slabs prior to final finish application.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters or door hardware installers during the construction phase. No permanent fastening or finish prep is required prior to fitting the temporary latch. Ensure the door frame is plumb and square before securing the strike plate for proper latch engagement. Remove and replace with permanent lockset hardware before final inspection and occupancy.
