Don-Jo EF-161-S-PC – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What do you use to cover an old latch cutout in a commercial door?
A latch filler plate like the Don-Jo EF-161-S covers unused or legacy latch cutouts in door faces and edge preparations. It's the plate that hides the hole, not a strike and not a lock part, so it goes on where hardware was removed or relocated and the prep was left open. Steel construction, 11 gauge (.119).
2) Will the Don-Jo EF-161-S cover my latch prep? What size is it?
The EF-161-S measures 2-3/4 x 1-1/8 inches, so it covers a cutout smaller than that footprint in both directions. Measure your open prep first: a standard commercial latch face prep runs about 2-1/4 by 1-1/8 inches, which this plate laps. Anything wider than 1-1/8 inches will show around the edge and needs a larger filler.
3) Can I paint a Don-Jo prime coated filler plate to match my doors?
That's what the PC prime coated version is for. The factory prime coat is a paint-ready base, so it takes finish paint in the field and the plate disappears into a painted door instead of reading as a patch. Scuff and topcoat with whatever you're using on the door. If the door is not painted, the brass plated, chrome plated or duronodic brown options match hardware finishes instead.
4) Is a latch filler plate the same thing as a wrap around plate or a lock adapter?
No. The EF-161-S is a small 2-3/4 by 1-1/8 inch plate that caps an open latch prep. A wrap around plate is a much larger sheet that wraps the door edge to reinforce or conceal a damaged lock bore, and a lock adapter lets a different lock body mount into an existing prep. If your problem is a leftover latch cutout and nothing else, the filler plate is the part. If the door face around a knob or lever bore is chewed up, you need a wrap around instead.
5) Is 11 gauge steel heavy enough for a filler plate on a high traffic door?
11 gauge works out to .119 inch thick steel, which is heavier than most cover plates and stiff enough that it won't oil-can or dent when a cart clips it. That's the reason this one gets specified on schools, hospitals, warehouses and other commercial openings rather than a thin stamped cover.
6) I need to fill latch preps on a dozen doors. Does the EF-161-S come in a multi-pack?
It's packed in a shelf pack of 10, which suits a building-wide hardware swap where the same prep is being covered on every opening. For a dozen doors you're looking at two packs.
