Commercial Latch Guards & Forced Entry Security Plates
Protecting vulnerable strike points is the first line of defense against unauthorized building access. Commercial latch guards provide a rugged physical barrier that prevents prying, shimming, and tampering with the lock bolt. Our selection includes precision-manufactured plates from Don-Jo, Latch Gard, and Rockwood Mfg, designed to shield the gap between the door and frame. Engineered from heavy-gauge stainless and cold-rolled steel, these security shields are essential for hardening exterior doors on retail storefronts, warehouses, and office complexes against aggressive forced entry attempts.
Anti-Pry Latch Shields for High-Security Door Reinforcement
Vulnerable locking hardware can be easily bypassed without the proper physical reinforcement. Anti-pry latch shields encase the latch and strike area in a tamper-resistant steel shroud, neutralizing the most common methods used to defeat commercial locks. These guards are a cost-effective alternative to expensive door repairs and replacements, providing immediate security upgrades for existing hardware. Whether you are securing a narrow-stile aluminum entrance or a standard hollow metal door, these plates from industry leaders like Latch Gard and Don-Jo deliver the durability required for high-risk environments.
For Metal/ Wood Doors
Designed for standard hollow metal and wood doors, these latch guards often feature a "U-shaped" offset to clear the door stop. They provide expansive coverage for cylindrical and mortise locks, making them the standard choice for "back-of-house" commercial exits.
Aluminum Doors
Specifically tailored for narrow-stile aluminum storefront doors, these slim-profile guards protect the latch without interfering with glass inserts or narrow frames. They are the primary security solution for retail entrances and glass-fronted commercial buildings.
Inswinging Doors
Inswinging latch guards utilize a specialized "Z-plate" design to protect the latch from the exterior. By reaching into the frame to block prying tools, these guards provide a critical layer of defense for apartment entries and interior high-security rooms.
Replacement Fasteners
A security plate is only as strong as its mounting. We provide high-strength replacement fasteners, including specialized thru-bolts, to ensure your latch guards remain immovably attached even under extreme physical stress.
