Don-jo TL3 Temporary Lock Latch Strike Combo

Product Description

The DON-JO TL3 is a temporary lock latch and strike combo designed for use during construction and renovation projects where a door must be secured before permanent locksets are installed. Sold as a single unit, it ships with both the latch and strike plate, allowing a complete temporary latching function without additional hardware. The prime coat finish makes it ready for paint or immediate field use. This type of hardware is typically handled by carpenters, door hardware installers, and general contractors working on commercial or residential door openings.

The TL3 is used on standard door preparations during new construction, tenant improvement work, and renovation projects where temporary door security is required between rough-in and final hardware installation. It allows doors to latch and remain closed throughout the construction phase, reducing dust transfer, controlling site access, and protecting interior spaces prior to final lockset installation.

• Latch and strike included as a matched combo set
• Prime coat finish accepts field-applied paint

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style temporary latching solution for standard residential and light commercial door assemblies during the construction phase prior to permanent lockset installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a carpenter or door hardware installer using standard hand tools. Verify the door edge preparation matches the latch dimensions before fastening. No special tools or trade licenses are required, but installers should confirm the temporary hardware is removed and replaced with the specified permanent lockset before final inspection. Do not rely on temporary latches as a permanent security solution.
