Don-jo ILP-206 In-Swinging Latch Protector | 6-Inch Security Guard

The Don-jo ILP-206 Latch Protector is a high-security reinforcement plate specifically engineered for in-swinging doors. Designed to protect the most vulnerable point of an entryway, this 6-inch security guard creates a physical barrier that covers the latch or deadbolt area. It is a premier choice for residential and commercial applications where unauthorized entry must be prevented, offering a robust defense for properties using cylindrical locks or deadlocks.

Crafted from heavy-duty 14-gauge steel, the ILP-206 is built to withstand aggressive physical attacks. Its primary function is to eliminate the "credit card" method of bypass and to provide an industrial-strength shield that resists jimmying and prying, ensuring your door remains locked and secure.

Key Features & Performance

• Specialized In-Swing Protection: Specifically contoured to fit the unique geometry of in-swinging door frames, providing coverage where standard latch guards fail.
  
• Anti-Bypass Technology: Effectively prevents the use of credit cards or similar shimming tools from manipulating the latch bolt to open the door.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Manufactured from 14-gauge steel, offering superior structural integrity and resistance to prying tools and forced entry attempts.
  
• Universal Lock Compatibility: Engineered to work seamlessly with cylindrical locks, deadbolts, and deadlocks, making it a versatile security upgrade for any door.
• Tamper-Resistant Hardware: Includes one-way security screws to ensure that once the protector is installed, it cannot be easily removed or tampered with from the exterior.
