Description
Product Overview
The Pro-Lok 13-inch Latch Protector is engineered from high‑grade aluminum, delivering a lightweight yet exceptionally strong barrier that shields the latch or deadbolt on out‑swing doors. Its 13‑inch length and 3‑5/8‑inch height are precisely sized to cover standard latch mechanisms while remaining unobtrusive to the door’s aesthetic. The aluminum finish not only resists corrosion and wear in harsh environments but also provides a sleek, professional appearance that complements both residential and commercial door hardware. The kit includes all necessary mounting hardware and a single installation spacer, allowing installers to adjust the offset between the door and jamb for a perfect, flush fit. This reversible design means the protector can be installed on either left‑handed or right‑handed doors without the need for additional components, simplifying inventory and reducing installation time.
Beyond its protective function, the latch protector is designed with user safety and convenience in mind. The smooth aluminum surface prevents snagging on clothing or tools, while the recessed mounting holes ensure that the protector does not interfere with the operation of the lock set. The product’s dimensions—15.24 × 4.21 × 1.06 inches and a weight of just 1.4 pounds—make it easy to handle, transport, and install by a single technician. Its compatibility with a wide range of deadbolts, lock sets, and door configurations makes it a versatile solution for new construction, retrofits, and security upgrades across residential homes, office buildings, schools, and industrial facilities.
Usage
Designed for out‑opening doors, the Pro-Lok latch protector excels in environments where security and durability are paramount. In residential settings, it provides peace of mind by deterring forced entry attempts on front doors, patio doors, and garage entryways. Commercial applications benefit from its ability to protect high‑traffic entry points such as storefronts, conference rooms, and employee entrances, where repeated use can wear down latch components over time. Industrial facilities, including warehouses and manufacturing plants, often require robust hardware that can withstand harsh conditions; the aluminum construction of this protector resists rust, impact, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring long‑term performance.
Installation is straightforward: the included spacer allows the protector to be positioned at the optimal distance from the door jamb, eliminating gaps that could be exploited by intruders. Because the kit is reversible, installers can quickly adapt to the door’s swing direction, reducing the need for multiple inventory SKUs. The protector’s low profile means it does not interfere with door closers, automatic operators, or fire safety devices, making it suitable for integration into existing door systems without compromising functionality or code compliance.

FAQ
Can the latch protector be installed on a door that swings inward?
No. This model is specifically engineered for out‑swing doors where the latch is exposed on the exterior side. Installing it on an inward‑swing door would not provide the intended security benefits.
Is the aluminum finish compatible with painted doors?
Yes. The aluminum surface is smooth and non‑abrasive, allowing it to be installed on doors that have been painted or finished without causing damage or discoloration.
What size spacer is included, and can I order additional spacers?
The kit includes one standard spacer designed to accommodate typical door‑jamb gaps. Additional spacers are available upon request to address larger offsets or custom installations.
Does the protector affect the operation of existing lock sets?
The protector is designed with recessed mounting holes and a low profile to ensure that it does not interfere with the movement of deadbolts, latch bolts, or electronic lock mechanisms.
What is the warranty coverage for this product?
Pro‑Lok offers a one‑year limited warranty covering material defects and manufacturing errors. The warranty does not cover damage caused by improper installation or misuse.
