Enhanced Security: Provides an additional layer of security by allowing controlled interaction with visitors.

Damage Prevention: The edge protection plate and strike plate design minimize the risk of marring the door and frame.

Versatility: Hinged bar allows for flexible positioning when not in use.

Durability: Made from robust materials to ensure long-lasting use.

Aesthetic Consistency: Designed to match the door hardware for a cohesive appearance.

481 Chain Door Guard: 

Features a narrow chain holder that keeps the chain in a stationary position when not in use, preventing the chain from dangling and marring the door and frame. Welded twist link steel chain finished to match the door plate and chain holder.

 

482 Solid Bar Door Guard:

The hinged bar can be positioned 180° away from the door when not in use. An edge protection plate (included with cast brass door guards) minimizes the chance of marring the door or frame. This plate can also be purchased separately for aluminum substrates. The strike plate is designed to prevent the solid bar from marring the inside of the door when in use.

    Chain & Bar Door Guards

    Ives Chain and Bar Door Guards provide an extra layer of security for doors, preventing unwanted entry while allowing limited door opening for communication or ventilation. Door guards are commonly used in residential homes, apartments, hotels, and commercial buildings. They are ideal for any setting where controlled access and increased security are priorities.

    Overview

    Door guards are designed to enhance the safety of your home or commercial property. They allow you to open the door slightly to verify the identity of visitors without fully compromising your security. Ives offers two types of door guards, each with unique features tailored to different door setups: the 481 Chain Door Guard and the 482 Solid Bar Door Guard. 

    Door guards provide an additional layer of security by allowing you to partially open your door to interact with visitors while maintaining a secure barrier. This feature is particularly useful for preventing unauthorized entry and ensuring peace of mind. They are an essential component for any security-conscious homeowner or business.
