Don-Jo EL-86 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Don-Jo EL-86 conversion plate actually used for on a door?
The EL-86 is a steel filler and adapter plate that covers or bridges an existing cutout or hardware prep in a door. When you pull off old hardware and the prep underneath doesn't match what's going back on, the plate spans the opening so you don't have to replace or repair the door. It measures 8 x 1-1/4 inches and is 1/4 inch gauge steel.
2) Will the Don-Jo EL-86 cover the cutout left behind on my door?
It covers an area 8 inches by 1-1/4 inches. Measure the old prep in both directions before ordering: anything wider than 1-1/4 inches or longer than 8 inches will still show at the edges, and you'd want a larger wrap or filler plate instead. For a narrow strip cutout along the edge or face of the door, the 8 x 1-1/4 footprint is the right shape.
3) What finishes does the Don-Jo EL-86 conversion plate come in?
Three: prime coated, chrome plated, and duronodic brown coated. Prime coat is the one to order if you're painting the door, since it takes finish paint directly. Chrome plated suits openings where the rest of the trim is bright metal, and duronodic brown matches dark bronze anodized aluminum storefront and entrance hardware.
4) Can I paint the Don-Jo EL-86 to match my doors?
Order the prime coated version. It ships with a factory prime coat, which is a ready-to-paint surface, so you can finish it to whatever the door color is. The chrome plated and duronodic brown versions are finished goods and are meant to be installed as-is.
5) Is the Don-Jo EL-86 heavy enough for a commercial opening or is it a residential trim piece?
It's built for commercial use, in 1/4 inch gauge steel rather than thin sheet stock. That thickness matters on high-traffic openings in schools, healthcare, retail and multi-tenant buildings, where a light plate dents or works loose. The tradeoff is that 1/4 inch stands proud of the door face, so check clearance against any trim or hardware that mounts over or beside it.
6) Is the EL-86 a lock or just the plate?
Just the plate. The EL-86 is a steel conversion plate, a blank filler and adapter, with no lock, latch, or cylinder. You buy it to close up or adapt a prep that a lock used to occupy, and the lockset itself is a separate order.
7) How many Don-Jo EL-86 plates come in a pack?
The EL-86 is sold in a shelf pack of 10. That works in your favor on a re-key or hardware-swap program across a building, where you're hitting many doors with the same prep, but it does mean a single-door repair leaves you with nine spares.
