Don-Jo EF-161-TG – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Don-Jo EF-161-TG filler plate cover the latch cutout left in my door edge after I pull the old lockset?
The EF-161-TG covers a 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inch latch prep, which is the standard face plate cutout a cylindrical or mortise latch leaves in the door edge. Measure the mortised recess in your edge before ordering: if the old latch face was larger than 2-1/4 x 1-1/8, this plate will not bridge it. For the common 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 latch face prep it sits flush and hides the pocket.
2) Is the EF-161-TG steel or a soft plated trim that will dent in a high traffic doorway?
It is 16-gauge steel at .060 thickness, not a thin decorative shim. That gauge holds its shape against carts, kick plates being installed over it, and the general abuse of a commercial corridor. The steel substrate is what the plated finishes are applied over.
3) What finishes does the Don-Jo EF-161-TG latch filler plate come in, and which one should I use if I am painting the door?
Four finishes: prime coated (PC), brass plated (BP), chrome plated (CP), and Duronodic brown coated (DU). If the door is getting painted, order prime coated, it takes topcoat directly. For exposed work, match what is already on the opening: chrome plated reads with satin and bright chrome hardware, brass plated with brass trim, and Duronodic with dark bronze storefront and aluminum entrances.
4) I have a whole building of doors with abandoned latch preps. Can I standardize on one filler plate across all of them?
If those preps are the standard 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 latch cutout, one part covers the fleet. Pick a single finish and it stays uniform door to door. Where the openings carry mixed hardware finishes, order the plate finish per wing rather than per door, the prime coated version is the fallback anywhere the door face is painted.
5) Do I need a filler plate or a wrap around plate to fix a damaged latch area?
Different jobs. A latch filler plate like the EF-161-TG blanks off a cutout you are no longer using, hiding the pocket and giving a clean face. A wrap around plate reinforces and covers a split or torn out lock area on a door that still has working hardware in it. If the hole is staying empty, the filler plate is the part. If you are re-hanging a lock in a chewed up door, you want the wrap around instead.
6) Is the Don-Jo EF-161-TG sold individually or in a pack?
It comes in a shelf pack of 10. That suits a contractor or maintenance crew working through a run of openings; for a single door repair you are buying nine spares, which is worth knowing before you order.
7) Does the EF-161-TG have a handing, and does it matter which way up I install it?
No handing. The plate is a symmetrical 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 blank with no cam, spindle, or bevel to orient, so it installs the same on a left or right hand door. Order by finish only.
