Don-Jo CV-86 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a Don-Jo CV-86 conversion plate actually used for?
The CV-86 is a flat steel filler plate that covers an old hardware cutout in a door face. When you pull a lock or piece of trim and the new hardware doesn't cover the same prep, the plate hides the leftover hole so the opening looks finished. It's a cover piece, not a working part of the lock, so it carries no latch, no cylinder, and no strike prep.
2) How big is the Don-Jo CV-86 plate, and will 8 x 1-1/4 cover my old lock prep?
The CV-86 measures 8 by 1-1/4 inches in 1/4 inch gauge steel. That footprint is long and narrow, so it suits a strip-shaped leftover prep (an old mortise or edge-style cutout) rather than a round knob bore. Measure the exposed hole in both directions first: anything wider than 1-1/4 inches will show around the edges of the plate, and you'd want a wider wrap around or filler instead.
3) Will the Don-Jo CV-86 fill the round hole left by an old knob lock?
No. The CV-86 is a 1-1/4 inch wide strip, narrower than a standard 2-1/8 inch knob or lever cross bore, so it won't span a round bore hole. For a vacated knob prep you want a round hole filler or a wrap around plate sized to the bore. The CV-86 is for narrow, elongated preps where an 8 inch long strip is the right shape.
4) Does the Don-Jo CV-86 come painted, or do I have to finish it myself?
Four finishes are offered: prime coated, brass plated, chrome plated, and duronodic brown coated. The prime coated version is bare primer meant to be field painted so it disappears into a painted door or matches surrounding trim. If you want the plate to read as hardware rather than as part of the door, take the brass, chrome, or duronodic instead and skip the paint step.
5) Is the CV-86 heavy enough for a school or hospital door, or is it a thin cover plate?
At 1/4 inch gauge steel this is a rigid plate, not shim stock, and Don-Jo rates the CV-86 for commercial use. It holds its shape against kicks and cart traffic in institutional corridors, which is where thin stamped covers dish in and start rattling. Steel throughout, so it takes paint and abuse the same way the door does.
6) I'm standardizing locks across a building, how do I order enough CV-86 plates for a batch of doors?
The CV-86 is packed in shelf packs of 10, which lines up with the way these get used: a conversion program hits a run of openings at once and every door that changes hardware needs one. Pick a single finish across the run so the doors match, and if the doors are painted, prime coated plus your own topcoat gives the most consistent result across a mixed set of door colors.
7) Does the CV-86 conversion plate come with screws?
Fastener content isn't part of what the CV-86 is specified on, so plan to have machine screws or sheet metal screws on the truck sized to your door. On a hollow metal door that usually means self tapping screws into the face sheet; on wood, short pan heads. The plate itself is 1/4 inch steel, so drive fasteners with heads that sit flush against it rather than countersinking into a plate that thick.
