Outswing Latch Guard Installation Instructions – LGO
Important Warranty Information
The following actions will void any warranty, express or implied:
- Failure to install the Latch Guard properly, with supplied fasteners.
- Unauthorized field modifications, including alteration of the original finish or painting
NOTE: Latch Guard can be trimmed around frame and door hardware, but Latch Guard must remain as a single piece and sit flat on face of frame and door – do NOT cut into sections, See trim example ( Fig. 1 ).
Also, some modifications may be necessary for deeper door insets.
Frame Preparation
A. Place male portion of Latch Guard on face of frame as shown (Fig. 2) using the correct vertical spacing, and while making sure that this piece is flush with the frame and not overhanging far enough to interfere with the door, fasten firmly in place using the supplied self-drilling panhead hardware in the six holes provided. You may also mark the fastener holes in the frame first with a pencil or punch if desired.
B. Drill additional holes near the middle of the Latch Guard and attach
using the last of the self-drilling fasteners provided, making sure to space
the holes equally and concentrate near the strike location. (6 holes have been
provided, we suggest a minimum of 8, spacing additional holes evenly around
existing hardware for frame AND door.)
Door Preparation
A. With the door closed, center the female door portion of the Latch Guard over the male. To help with centering, it is recommended to place the pink foam material, supplied as part of packaging material, over the male portion near top and bottom. Press the female section over the male, wedging the foam material between both parts to hold the door section in position for mounting, making sure to also center this section vertically and NOT get the foam trapped between the Latch Guard and door. ( Fig. 3 )
Pink foam (included)
B. Using the six pre-drilled holes in the Latch Guard, drill the six 3/8”
diameter holes through the door.
You may also mark the hole locations on the door, remove the female Latch
Guard and drill the six 3/8” diameter holes through the door with the female
section of the Latch Guard removed if preferred and reinstall.
C. With the door open and foam removed, push the barrel nuts through the
extrusion and door at each hole location and tighten each of the shoulder
bolts from the other side of the door. Close the door and check fit and
function. Now drill the final three holes and install the remaining barrel
nuts and shoulder bolts.
D. Starting at the top of the Latch guard, and using a plastic mallet or
hammer and a block of wood, press the frame cover on firmly, working from top
to bottom. (Fig. 4)
