Don-Jo HS-5080 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a Don-Jo HS-5080 hinge shim actually used for on a door?
The HS-5080 is a thin steel plate that goes behind a hinge leaf in the mortise to build it out and correct the gap between door and frame. When a door drags on the strike side, or the hinge mortise was routed too deep, shimming the hinge shifts the door back toward the jamb without re-mortising. It's a filler plate for hinge and pivot work, not a hinge itself.
2) Will the HS-5080 shim fit a 4-1/2 inch commercial hinge?
The shim is 5 inches long, so it runs the full leaf height of a 4-1/2 inch hinge and a little past it. On a standard 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 full mortise hinge that's fine, the extra length just sits in the mortise. On a 3-1/2 inch residential hinge it will overhang and needs trimming. Width is 1/2 inch, so it backs the portion of the leaf nearest the barrel rather than the full 4-1/2 inch leaf depth.
3) Should I shim the hinge or replace the door closer when a commercial door won't latch?
Different problems. If the door swings shut but the latch misses the strike, or the door binds on the frame, the geometry is off and a shim behind the hinge leaf is the fix. If the door swings too slowly, slams, or stops short, that's closer adjustment, not shimming. The HS-5080 addresses gap and alignment only. Shimming the top hinge pushes the bottom of the door toward the strike jamb; shimming the bottom hinge does the reverse.
4) How many hinge shims come in a pack of Don-Jo HS-5080?
Ten per shelf pack. For a single sagging door you'll typically use one to three per hinge, so one pack covers several openings, which is why maintenance crews buy it by the pack rather than the piece.
5) Is the Don-Jo HS-5080 shim steel strong enough for a heavy commercial door?
It's 13-gauge steel, not plastic or cardboard shim stock, so it carries the bearing load of the hinge leaf without crushing over time. That matters on high-traffic openings in schools, hospitals, and office buildings, where a compressible shim will flatten and the door drifts back out of alignment.
6) Do hinge shims need screws, or do they go in loose behind the hinge?
The shim sits in the mortise behind the hinge leaf and the existing hinge screws pass through the assembly and hold everything, so no separate fasteners come with it. You will usually need longer screws once you've added shim thickness, since .090 of buildout eats into the thread engagement in the frame or door edge. Order those separately.
7) Can I use the HS-5080 on a pivot instead of a butt hinge?
Yes, it's made for hinge and pivot installations both. The application is the same either way: it fills the mortise pocket behind the mounting plate to correct depth and alignment. The 5 inch by 1/2 inch footprint is what decides whether it suits a given pivot plate, so check the plate against those numbers.
