STI STI-9732 Wire Guard Damage Stopper
Overview
The STI-9732 is a protective wire guard cage designed to shield lock and strike hardware from accidental or intentional impact damage during installation and routine facility operation. Built from 9-gauge hard-drawn steel wire (0.148 in. diameter) with polyester powder coat finish in sky white, the STI-9732 mounts directly over doors with standard 1/4" anchors and hardware. Integrators deploy this accessory where hardware durability matters—high-traffic corridors, institutional facilities, and secured entry points where repeated contact or vandalism attempts create maintenance headaches.
Compatibility
The STI-9732 is engineered as a universal protective cage for standard lock and strike assemblies commonly found in commercial access control installations. Mounting dimensions center on a 9.36 in. × 8.78 in. footprint (approximately 238 mm × 223 mm), fitting most standard commercial deadbolts and strike plates in North American configurations. Confirm your specific lock and strike housing width and depth against the guard envelope before ordering—the cage is sized for typical surface-mounted hardware but may require adapter brackets for recessed or oversized assemblies. Compatible with integrator-standard installation practices using conventional 1/4" anchors and fastening systems.
Installation Notes
Mount the guard by centering it over the target hardware, marking all four hole locations with a pencil, drilling 1/4" diameter holes 1.5 inches deep into the door frame or substrate, inserting the supplied anchors, and fastening with the included screws. No special tools beyond a standard 1/4" drill bit are required. The cage design allows full access to lock cylinders and strike mechanisms without removal—you can operate the door hardware while the guard is installed. Total enclosure dimensions are approximately 10.84 in. wide × 9.36 in. tall × 7 in. deep (275 mm × 238 mm × 178 mm), leaving clearance for standard handle operation on most door swing configurations.
