How to Choose Door Guards

Door guards are used to add an extra layer of security and controlled opening at the door. On this page, the live assortment includes chain door guards, swing arm door guards, door guard latches, door flip guards, and lock guards, so the best place to start is choosing the type of protection the opening needs.

If the goal is partial opening with a traditional chain-style restraint, a chain door guard may be the right fit. If the opening needs a more rigid security style, a swing arm guard or door guard latch may make more sense. The page also includes lock guards and related protection hardware, which are better suited to specific door-security needs rather than simple visitor control.

Finish and product style also matter, especially when the hardware will be visible on the door. The live assortment includes steel, cast brass, solid brass, zinc, and several finish variations across Ives, Deltana, and Don-Jo products. Matching the finish and style to the rest of the door hardware can help create a more consistent look.

Before ordering, compare the product type, dimensions, and finish carefully so the door guard fits the door correctly and serves the kind of security function you need. Because this category includes several different security-hardware styles, confirming the exact function first is one of the most important steps.
