Don-Jo HS-080 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a Don-Jo HS-080 hinge shim used for?
The HS-080 is a flat steel filler plate that goes into the hinge mortise, behind the hinge leaf, to take up a gap. Installers use it when a mortise is cut too deep, when a door has settled or binds, or when the hinge pocket is worn from years of use. Shimming the leaf out changes how the door sits in the frame, so it can clear a strike or stop rubbing at the head. It is a correction part, not a hinge, and it does nothing on its own.
2) My commercial door is rubbing at the top corner. Will a hinge shim fix it or do I need new hinges?
If the hinges themselves are still tight and the leaves are not sagging, shimming is the cheaper fix. Shimming behind the bottom hinge pushes the bottom of the door toward the strike and lifts the top corner away from the head, and each HS-080 gives you .090 inch of movement. If the knuckles have play in them or the pins are worn, the shim will not hold the correction and the hinge needs replacing. Shims correct mortise depth and alignment, not worn hinge barrels.
3) How many hinge shims come in a pack of Don-Jo HS-080?
Sold in a shelf pack of 10. That covers three or four openings if you are shimming every hinge on a door, which is usually how it goes, since shimming one hinge and not the others racks the door instead of moving it.
4) Is the Don-Jo HS-080 hinge shim strong enough for a heavy commercial door?
It is 13-gauge steel, built for commercial use rather than residential. Because it is solid steel and sits fully captured between the hinge leaf and the mortise, the hinge screws pass through the assembly and the load stays on the frame, not on the shim. That is the difference from a cardboard or plastic shim, which crushes under a heavy exterior door and lets the correction drift back.
5) Do I need to buy anything else to install a Don-Jo HS-080 hinge shim?
No extra hardware, but check your screw length. The shim adds .090 inch behind the leaf, so the existing hinge screws thread .090 inch shallower into the frame or door edge than they did before. On a shallow wood jamb with short screws, or where a screw was already stripping, go to a longer screw at the same time. The shim itself has no fasteners of its own; it is held by the hinge screws passing through.
6) Do hinge shims come in a finish that will match my hinges?
The HS-080 is bare steel and there is no finish choice to make. It does not need one: the shim is hidden behind the hinge leaf inside the mortise once the door is hung, so nothing shows on a closed or open door. Order by size, not by finish.
7) Can I use a hinge shim on a fire-rated door opening?
Shimming a hinge changes the prep on a labeled door, and that is governed by the door and frame label, not by the shim. Confirm what the label allows for your opening before you shim a fire door. The HS-080 is a plain 13-gauge steel filler plate for commercial hinge locations; nothing about its construction settles that question for you.
