Don-Jo HS-060 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a Don-Jo HS-060 hinge shim actually used for?
The HS-060 is a thin steel plate that goes behind a hinge leaf in the mortise. When a hinge pocket is routed too deep, or a door has settled and is rubbing the frame or the strike side, you stack shims behind the leaf to push the door back toward the opposite jamb. It's a filler plate, not a hinge, so you're reusing the hinge already on the door and just correcting how it sits in the pocket.
2) How much does one Don-Jo HS-060 shim move the door?
Each HS-060 is 16 gauge, .060 inch thick, so one shim behind a hinge leaf moves that edge of the door roughly a sixteenth of an inch toward the strike jamb. That's the unit you're working in: one for a light rub, two stacked for about an eighth. Shim all three hinges to move the whole door, or just the top or bottom hinge to correct a door that's out of square in the frame.
3) How many hinge shims come in a pack of Don-Jo HS-060?
The HS-060 ships in a shelf pack of 10. For a typical three-hinge commercial door that's enough to shim about three doors at one shim per hinge, or one door with a lot of correction needed. Maintenance crews chasing rubbing doors across a building generally want more than one pack on the truck.
4) Is the Don-Jo HS-060 shim strong enough for a heavy commercial door?
16 gauge steel is the point of it. The shim carries the door's weight through the hinge screws once it's sandwiched between the leaf and the jamb, so a soft or plastic filler would compress and let the door drop again. Steel at .060 holds its thickness under a heavy hot-rolled frame door in a high-traffic opening.
5) Do hinge shims go behind the door leaf or the frame leaf?
Either, and which one you pick decides what the fix does. Shimming the frame leaf pushes the door away from the hinge jamb toward the strike, which is how you close up a strike-side gap or stop the latch from rubbing. Shimming the door leaf pulls the door edge toward the hinge side. The HS-060 is sized to the hinge leaf itself at 4-1/2 x 1-5/8 inches, so it works on either side of the same hinge.
6) Will a hinge shim fix a door that drags on the floor or won't latch?
It depends on which way the door has moved. A door that's binding on the strike jamb or hitting the frame on the latch side is usually a shimming problem, and the HS-060 corrects it. A door dragging on the floor because the hinges themselves are worn, or one where the frame is racked, won't be fixed by a filler plate, you're replacing hinges or resetting the frame. Shims correct mortise depth and door position, not worn pins or bent leaves.
7) Are hinge shims rated for commercial door hardware, or just residential doors?
Don-Jo lists the HS-060 as a commercial product, and the 4-1/2 inch length matches commercial hinge prep rather than the smaller hinges typically hung on residential interior doors. Office buildings, schools, healthcare and multi-tenant buildings are the normal use, where doors get enough traffic that mortise depth and alignment drift over time.
