Ives LG132D Lock Guard 11.5x3 Satin Stainless Steel

Product Description

The IVES LG132D is a lock guard designed to protect door locksets and latch assemblies from tampering, forced entry, and tool attacks. Finished in satin stainless steel, it provides a clean, corrosion-resistant surface suited for high-traffic commercial and institutional door applications. Measuring 11.5 inches in length and 3 inches in width, the guard mounts over the latch area to shield the bolt from pry tools and similar attack methods. At 1.2 pounds, it is solid enough for demanding environments without adding excessive weight to the door assembly. Installation is straightforward for locksmiths, door hardware installers, and general contractors working on access control and perimeter security projects.

The LG132D is appropriate for commercial and residential applications where latch or deadbolt protection is required at entry, stairwell, or utility doors. It is commonly installed on steel or wood doors in schools, multifamily housing, office buildings, and light industrial facilities. The satin stainless steel finish coordinates with standard commercial door hardware and maintains appearance in interior and exterior applications where moisture or heavy use is a factor.

Key Features

• Satin stainless steel finish resists corrosion in high-traffic and moisture-prone environments
• 11.5-inch length provides broad coverage over the latch and lock mechanism
• 3-inch width accommodates standard commercial door stile widths
• Sold individually, one unit per order
• Low-profile 1-inch height keeps the guard tight to the door surface

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation lock guard for standard commercial and residential door lockset and latch assemblies requiring surface-mounted latch protection.

Installation Notes

Lock guards of this type are installed by locksmiths, door hardware specialists, or qualified contractors. Before installation, ensure the door is secured in the open position and that any existing latch hardware is inspected for fit clearance. Fastener selection should be appropriate for the door material and thickness. Follow local building and fire-code requirements regarding hardware placement on rated fire doors, as some jurisdictions restrict modifications to fire-rated assemblies.
