When a door is damaged by a break-in, or when a lock is being retrofitted into an old prep, Don-Jo is the brand that saves the day. Specializing in Wrap-Around Plates, Latch Protectors, and Kick Plates, Don-Jo hardware reinforces the weakest points of a door. At Lock Depot, we carry the full line of Don-Jo architectural accessories that help you repair a door instead of replacing it.
We stock the popular Don-Jo Wrap-Around Plates (for converting mortise to cylindrical or repairing "blown out" wood doors) and Latch Guards that prevent intruders from prying the latch open. If you're dealing with a "misaligned" strike or a door that won't stay latched, Don-Jo's specialty plates and fillers are the industry's most trusted solution for a professional finish.
The most common commercial break-in involves a pry bar at the latch. Don-Jo Latch Protectors (like the LP series) are a $20 investment that can save a $2,000 door. For out-swinging doors, always install a latch protector that covers the strike plate; it physically blocks the gap, making it nearly impossible to "shim" or pry the latch back.
Don-Jo plates and protectors ship factory-new from our warehouses across America. Order before 2 PM EST for same-day shipping.

Yes. The wrap plate covers the damaged area around the lock prep, reinforcing the wood or metal and allowing you to install a new lock without replacing the entire door.
They serve the same purpose — preventing someone from prying or shimming the latch bolt. "Latch Protector" is the Don-Jo product name, while "Latch Guard" is the generic industry term.
Yes. Most Don-Jo products are available in Satin Stainless (630), Bright Brass (605), and Oil Rubbed Bronze (613). Stainless steel is the most popular for commercial applications.
Use a Don-Jo conversion plate (wrap-around) designed for this purpose. It covers the old mortise pocket and provides a clean surface for a standard 2-1/8" cylindrical bore prep.
