Prime-line MP9513 Latch Shield 12 in Steel Gray

Product Description

The PRIME-LINE MP9513 is a steel latch shield designed to protect the latch area of in-swinging doors against forced entry. Measuring 12 inches tall, it is constructed from alloy steel with a gray painted finish that resists wear in high-traffic environments. The interlocking design closes off the gap between the door and the jamb, making it significantly harder to bypass the latch by prying or shimming. It ships as a single unit and includes one-way, tamper-proof screws for jamb-mounted installation. Licensed contractors, property managers, and security-focused installers use this type of shield in residential, commercial, and industrial door applications.

The MP9513 is suited for both wood and metal door systems on in-swinging doors. No mortising is required, which simplifies installation across a wide range of existing door frames. The included one-way screws fasten to the jamb-mounted bracket and resist removal without a specialized driver bit. Typical applications include apartment entry doors, commercial suite doors, and any swing-in door where latch protection is needed. The gray painted finish blends with standard commercial door hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a general contractor, locksmith, or qualified door hardware installer. Before installing, confirm the door is in the closed position and identify jamb-mounting hole locations. Pre-drill pilot holes to prevent wood or metal frame splitting, then secure the shield using the included one-way tamper-proof screws. A one-way driver bit is required to seat the tamper-proof screws - a standard flathead screwdriver is not sufficient.
