Don-Jo EF-161 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Don-Jo EF-161 filler plate used for on a commercial door?
The EF-161 is a small steel plate that covers an old latch cutout in the edge of a door after hardware has been removed or swapped. If you pulled a lock and the new one doesn't cover the same prep, the plate closes the hole so the edge looks finished and the door isn't left exposed. It's a commercial-grade part, not a residential trim piece.
2) What size cutout will a Don-Jo EF-161 cover?
The EF-161 measures 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inches, so it covers a latch cutout up to that footprint. Measure the opening in the door edge before ordering; anything longer or wider than 2-1/4 by 1-1/8 needs a larger filler plate, since the plate has to overlap the cut on all sides to sit flat and cover cleanly.
3) Will a latch filler plate cover a hole in the face of the door, or only the edge?
A latch filler plate like the EF-161 is sized for the latch cutout in the door edge, at 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inches. It won't cover a 2-1/8 inch cross bore in the face of the door left by a knob or lever. For that you want a wrap-around or a hole filler plate sized to the bore, not a latch filler.
4) Can you paint the Don-Jo EF-161 to match the door?
That's what the prime coated version is for. It ships with a prime coat already applied and takes paint directly, so you can match it to the door color on site. If you'd rather not paint, the same plate comes in brass plated, chrome plated, and Duronodic brown coated.
5) Is the EF-161 filler plate strong enough for a high-traffic commercial door?
It's 11-gauge (.119) steel, which is heavier than the thin stamped plates sold for residential use, and it's rated by Don-Jo as commercial. On school, healthcare, and multi-tenant openings that take constant use, that thickness is what keeps the plate from dishing or tearing at the screw holes.
6) Do I need a filler plate if the new lock has a different latch prep than the old one?
If the new latch face is smaller than the cutout you're left with, yes. The EF-161 at 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inches covers the exposed cut so the edge reads finished and the door core isn't left open. If the new latch face fully covers the existing mortise, you don't need one at all.
7) What finishes does the Don-Jo EF-161 latch filler plate come in?
Four: prime coated, brass plated, chrome plated, and Duronodic brown coated. On a fleet of openings, Duronodic brown is the one that blends with dark bronze aluminum storefront and entrance hardware; on a painted hollow metal door, prime coated is usually the cheaper route because you're painting the door anyway.
8) How is the Don-Jo EF-161 packaged for stocking a maintenance shop?
It's sold in a shelf pack of 10. For a property manager or in-house maintenance crew doing rolling hardware swaps, that's the practical quantity to keep on the truck, since latch preps that don't match the new lock turn up one door at a time across a building.
