Don-Jo FDT-1 Frame Dimpler Tool for Hollow Metal Door Frame Installation

The Don-Jo FDT-1 Frame Dimpler Tool is a purpose-built installation aid designed for use when fitting a new hollow metal frame into an existing masonry or stud opening. Constructed from hardened steel, this professional-grade tool uses an Allen screw and wrench mechanism to smoothly add a precise dimple to the door frame, ensuring a clean, professional-looking fit to the fasteners. The double-sided design extends the tool's service life, allowing installers to flip to the opposite side after extensive use on one side. Included with the tool are two Allen screws and a long-arm Allen wrench for immediate, out-of-the-box use.
