Don-Jo HS-090 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a Don-Jo HS-090 hinge shim actually used for?
The HS-090 is a flat steel plate you drop into the hinge mortise behind the hinge leaf to take up a gap or correct alignment. If a door is binding on the strike jamb, dragging, or the hinge pocket was routed too deep, the shim moves the leaf out to bring the door back where it belongs. It is a filler plate, not a hinge, so it does not replace anything on the door, it corrects what is already hung.
2) How thick is the Don-Jo HS-090 hinge shim?
13 gauge steel, .090 inch. That is the amount it moves the hinge leaf out of the mortise per shim. Worth knowing before you order: a .090 correction is a substantial shift, so if your door only needs a hair of adjustment this is more than you want, and if the pocket is deeply over-routed you may be stacking two.
3) Can I use the Don-Jo HS-090 to stop a door from rubbing the frame?
That is the usual reason people buy it. Shimming the top hinge pulls the top of the door toward the hinge jamb, shimming the bottom hinge pushes it the other way, and shimming all three moves the whole door away from the hinge side. Each HS-090 gives you .090 inch of movement at that hinge, so you can work in known increments instead of guessing with cardboard.
4) How many hinge shims come in a pack of Don-Jo HS-090?
They ship in a shelf pack of 10. For a single door with three hinges you have enough to shim every hinge and keep spares, which is why maintenance shops buy them by the pack rather than per door.
5) Is the Don-Jo HS-090 hinge shim strong enough for a heavy commercial door?
It is 13 gauge steel and rated for commercial use. At .090 inch of solid steel it carries the hinge load without crushing or dishing the way a plastic or cardboard shim will under a heavy door in a high-traffic opening. Steel throughout, no plating claim beyond the base material.
6) Do I need a hinge shim or a hinge filler plate to fix my door?
Different jobs. A shim like the HS-090 sits under the hinge leaf and adds .090 inch of standoff to close a gap or stop a bind, with the hinge going back on top of it. A filler plate covers a hinge mortise you are abandoning, when hardware has moved or a hinge is being removed. If the hinge stays and the door position is wrong, the shim is what you want.
7) Does the Don-Jo HS-090 hinge shim come with screws?
The HS-090 is the steel plate only. It installs behind the existing hinge leaf and reuses the hinge screws already in the jamb or door edge. If shimming moves the leaf out far enough that your current screws lose bite, plan on longer wood or machine screws to suit the frame you are working in.
8) Will one hinge shim work on both the door leaf and the frame leaf?
Yes, the HS-090 is a flat symmetrical plate at 4-1/2 x 1-5/8 inches, so it goes behind either leaf of a standard 4-1/2 inch butt hinge. There is no handing to it. Which leaf you shim depends on which way you need the door to move, not on the part.
