Don-Jo HS-5060 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a Don-Jo HS-5060 hinge shim actually used for?
The HS-5060 is a flat steel plate that goes behind a hinge leaf in the mortise to take up space. When a door sags, binds on the strike side, or the hinge mortise was routed too deep, shimming the hinge out corrects the gap and brings the door back into alignment instead of re-routing the frame or replacing the hinge. It also works as a filler plate over a mortise that no longer matches the hinge on it.
2) Will a Don-Jo HS-5060 shim fit a standard 4-1/2 inch commercial hinge?
Size is the thing to check first. The HS-5060 measures 5 inches in length and 1-5/8 inches in width, so it sits behind a leaf up to 5 inches tall and 1-5/8 inches wide. A 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch full mortise hinge has a leaf 4-1/2 inches tall and 2-1/4 inches wide per leaf, so the shim covers the height but is narrower than the full leaf. It shims the screw line and the mortise depth, which is what corrects the gap, but it does not fill the mortise edge to edge.
3) How thick is a 16 gauge steel hinge shim, and how much does it move the door?
16 gauge works out to .060 inch, so one HS-5060 moves the hinge leaf out about a sixteenth of an inch. That is usually enough to close a hinge-side gap or stop a door catching on the latch side. Stack two if you need an eighth, but past that you are usually looking at a frame or hinge problem rather than a shim problem.
4) Is the Don-Jo HS-5060 hinge shim rated for commercial doors or just residential?
Commercial. It is a 16-gauge (.060) steel plate, not a plastic or cardboard shim, so it holds its thickness under the load of a solid core or hollow metal door and will not compress over time. It is used in offices, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, and multi-tenant residential.
5) Can I use a steel hinge shim to fix a door that drags on the floor or binds at the latch?
Shimming works for latch-side binding and for a door that has shifted from a hinge mortise cut too deep. Adding an HS-5060 behind the top hinge swings the top of the door back toward the hinge jamb; behind the bottom hinge it does the opposite. A door dragging on the floor is a different fault, usually worn or loose hinges, and packing the mortise out will not lift it. Fix the hinge first, then shim for the remaining gap.
6) Does the Don-Jo HS-5060 hinge shim come with screws?
No fasteners come with the HS-5060. The shim is drilled to sit under the hinge leaf and is held by the existing hinge screws, so you reuse the screws that are already in the frame or door. If you are stacking shims, plan on longer screws, since the extra .060 inch per plate eats into the thread engagement in the jamb.
7) Do I need to specify a finish or handing when ordering the Don-Jo HS-5060?
Neither. The HS-5060 ships one way, as model HS-5060 in steel, with no handing and no finish choice to make. It installs behind the hinge leaf where it is not visible once the door is hung, so the finish on your hinges does not need to be matched.
