Door Security Guard Plates

The gap between a door edge and its frame is one of the most exploited vulnerabilities in forced entry, and security guard plates are the most direct way to close it. Doorware.com carries 41 models of steel latch guard plates, lock cylinder protectors, and storefront door reinforcement plates designed to eliminate the leverage point that allows latch prying, kick-in attacks, and cylinder pulling on residential, commercial, and institutional doors. Security latch guards wrap around the door edge and frame to cover the exposed latch bolt, making shimming and credit card attacks ineffective. Cylinder protectors reinforce the lock cylinder mounting point against pull and drill attacks. Storefront reinforcement plates are engineered specifically for aluminum frame glass door applications where the standard frame profile offers minimal resistance to forced entry. A straightforward upgrade that significantly raises the difficulty of any forced entry attempt without requiring door or frame replacement.
