Don-Jo HR218 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does a Don-Jo HR-218 hinge reinforcement plate actually do on a commercial door?
The HR-218 is a 7 gauge (.180) steel plate that goes into the hinge area of a door or frame to stiffen it and keep the hinge screws from pulling or tearing out. At 12 inches long and 1-1/4 inches wide, it covers the hinge zone on a standard commercial hollow metal opening, and it also works as a filler plate where an old hinge prep needs backing. It resists wear and forced-entry prying at the hinge side, which is where high-traffic doors fail first.
2) Will the HR-218 fit a standard 4-1/2 inch commercial hinge?
The plate is 12 inches long by 1-1/4 inches wide, so it runs well past the length of a 4-1/2 inch butt hinge and sits behind the hinge leaf rather than matching it one for one. The 1-1/4 inch width is the number to check against your prep: it is a narrow strip meant to back the screw line, not to cover a full 4-1/2 inch hinge leaf. If you need full-leaf coverage, look at a wider Don-Jo reinforcement instead.
3) How many HR-218 plates come in a pack?
The HR-218 ships in a shelf pack of 50 plates. That quantity suits a contractor or maintenance shop reinforcing a run of openings, or a distributor stocking the line, rather than a one-door repair.
4) Do I order the HR-218 by handing or in left and right versions?
No handing to specify. The HR-218 is a single model, ordered as HR218, and a flat reinforcement strip works on either hinge side of any opening. All you need to confirm is that the 12 inch by 1-1/4 inch footprint suits your hinge prep.
5) Can I use the HR-218 to cover an old hinge cutout when rehanging a door?
Yes, that is one of its uses. Don-Jo lists the HR-218 among filler plates, so it can back or close off an abandoned hinge mortise as well as reinforce an active one. The 12 inch length gives you material past the cutout on both ends to catch solid frame or door stile, and the .180 steel keeps the patch from flexing.
6) Is the HR-218 rated for commercial use or is it a residential part?
Commercial. Don-Jo builds the HR-218 in 7 gauge (.180) steel specifically for commercial door hardware, and it is catalogued as a commercial item. Typical placements are office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and municipal buildings, all openings where the hinge side takes constant cycling.
7) What material is the Don-Jo HR-218 made from, and will it hold up in a warehouse or industrial setting?
Steel, at 7 gauge (.180) thickness. That is heavy enough to keep the hinge screw line from deforming under repeated slamming, which is the usual failure in industrial and warehouse openings. The plate is uncoated steel, so in a wet or wash-down area you will want to paint or prime it along with the door.
