Latch Protectors

Latch Protectors provide a physical barrier to deter forced entry through kick-ins, door prying, jamb spreading, and other actions intended to defeat the locking device.  Latch Protectors are made from either a stainless steel or a cold-rolled steel base material and undergo a finishing process to achieve the desired finish.  Entry Armor latch protector finishes include aluminum, antique brass, mirrored brass, mirrored chrome, duronodic, and stainless steel.  Latch Protectors are a relatively low cost solution that provides an extra level of security for the latch and deadbolt.  There is not necessarily a one size fits all solution when it comes to latch protectors.  Each entryway can be uniquely different and it is recommended to look for the following components of the entryway and latch protector product when choosing the correct latch protector solution:

• The door type,
• The swing of the door,
• The surface area needed to be covered,
• The offset between the door and the frame, and
• Any obstacles that could hinder the door from closing properly.

Additionally, latch protector installations can sometimes be difficult because many times there is a height or offset adjustment that needs to be made between the door and the frame to ensure a proper fit.  Many times a latch protector cannot be installed because the plane of the door does not align with the plane of the frame.

Entry Armor™ has solved this problem by providing a patented spacer with a variety of latch protectors.  The spacers are installed between the door and the latch protector to reduce the offset.  This may reduce compromising the security of the entryway while providing accurate, easier installations that will save both time and money in the installation process. This solution allows latch protectors to be installed on the segment of doors where traditional latch protectors could not be installed, resulting in a more secure property.
