Delaney 2-1/8" Hole Plate Metal Cover

It is a cover plate that conceals an opening left in a wall or door surface, typically where an old wall stop, holder, or bumper was removed. The plate covers a 2-1/8 inch hole and sits on a 3 inch base diameter, so it hides the hole plus the original screw or anchor marks around it. It is a trim piece, not a functioning stop, so it does not stop or hold a door.

A cover plate is patch trim only. For a working wall stop, the Ives WS11 heavy duty wall stop has a replaceable rubber bumper and mounts to drywall or masonry, and the Ives WS33/WS33X is another heavy duty wall stop with a replaceable bumper. If the door needs to be held open rather than just stopped, the Ives WS20 is a manual wall holder with a hinged strike and the Ives WS40 is an automatic wall holder. For residential openings, the Sure-Loc wall bumper stop or the Emtek 2255 brass wall bumper with rosette are lighter-duty options.

The Delaney 2-1/8 inch hole plate metal cover is a cover plate, not a bumper - it comes in a USP prime coat finish and takes no impact from the door. If the opening needs something for the door to strike, use a dedicated wall stop such as the Ives WS11, a heavy duty wall stop with a replaceable rubber bumper for drywall and masonry, or the Sure-Loc wall bumper door stop for residential doors.

USP is a prime coat, meaning it ships in primer rather than a decorative plated finish. That is what you want on a patch plate that has to disappear into a painted wall or door: prime coat takes topcoat directly, so you paint it to match the surrounding surface. If you need a plate that matches polished or satin door hardware instead of paint, a prime coat plate is the wrong choice.

That is the common use. Where a lever or knob has been driven through the drywall and no stop was ever installed, the 2-1/8 inch plate covers the hole and the 3 inch base spans past the crushed edges. Because it comes in USP prime coat, one part number works across every unit regardless of wall color, since you paint it to match. Pair it with a wall stop at the same time so the hole does not come back.

The Delaney hole plate cover ships in a USP prime coat intended to be painted. Where a finished metal look is wanted at the strike point, the Emtek 2255 is a brass wall bumper with a regular rosette.

The Delaney 2-1/8 inch hole plate cover is a trim piece and takes no door impact, so traffic level does not apply to it. For corridor doors in heavy use, the Ives WS11 and Ives WS33/WS33X are both heavy duty wall stops with replaceable rubber bumpers, while the Ives WS40 wall holder is rated light duty.

On its own the plate is surface trim that spans the opening, and a 2-1/8 inch hole in drywall has no material left in the middle to fasten into. Fasteners have to catch sound drywall or a stud outside the 2-1/8 inch opening, inside the 3 inch footprint of the plate. If you are also adding a stop at that location, mount the stop to a stud or use a masonry or hollow-wall anchor rated for the impact, since a stop taking door swing needs more than the cover plate provides.
