Ives LG1232D Lock Guard Satin Stainless Steel

Product Description

The IVES LG1232D is a lock guard designed to protect door lock hardware from tampering, forced entry, and physical damage at the latch point. It mounts over the lock area on the door face or frame, reinforcing the weakest point in a typical entry door installation. At 9.5 inches in length and 1.25 inches in height, with a 4-inch width, it provides solid coverage over standard lock hardware. The satin stainless steel finish resists corrosion and holds up in high-traffic commercial and institutional environments. This type of hardware is installed by locksmiths, commercial door hardware technicians, and general contractors during new construction or retrofit security upgrades.

Lock guards are used in light commercial, institutional, and residential applications where door latch and lock hardware is exposed to potential manipulation or impact. The LG1232D is suited for single-entry doors where the lock cylinder or latch bolt is accessible from the exterior. It fits into standard door accessory hardware workflows alongside strikes, flush bolts, and protection plates. Installations are common in schools, office buildings, apartment entry doors, and retail storefronts where improved latch-point security is required without a full door replacement.

Installation Notes

Lock guards of this type are installed by locksmiths or commercial door hardware technicians. Before installation, confirm the door is closed and latched to verify alignment of the guard over existing lock hardware. Fastener selection should be appropriate for the door material and thickness. Follow local building codes and any applicable access and egress requirements when modifying door hardware on rated assemblies.
