Don-Jo RP 18 630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Don-Jo RP-18 remodeler plate cover the holes left after removing an old mortise lock?
The RP-18 measures 14 x 4-1/2 inches, which is the size range built to hide a mortise lock pocket and the trim screw holes around it on a commercial door. Measure the tallest and widest extent of the damage on your door face, including any stray screw holes above and below the old escutcheon, and confirm both fall inside 14 by 4-1/2 inches. If the old prep is longer than 14 inches, the plate will leave an edge showing and you want a longer plate in the RP family instead.
2) Is the RP-18 a remodeler plate or a wrap around plate? I need to know which one my job calls for.
The RP-18 is a flat remodeler plate, not a wrap. It applies to one face of the door and covers cutouts, bore holes and gouges left behind when hardware is swapped or relocated. A wrap around plate folds over the door edge and reinforces or re-preps the lock area on both faces. If your job is cosmetic, covering an abandoned prep, the RP-18 is the part. If you need to reinforce a weak edge or add a new prep, you want a wrap around instead.
3) Can I use a Don-Jo RP-18 to cover the hole from an old deadbolt or cylindrical lock on a metal door?
Yes. The RP-18 is a commercial-grade plate for concealing existing cutouts, holes and imperfections from hardware replacement, and it works the same on hollow metal as it does on wood, since it fastens to the door face rather than through a specific prep. On hollow metal you will drill and use sheet metal screws or toggles rather than wood screws. The 14 by 4-1/2 inch footprint covers a 2-1/8 inch cross bore plus a deadbolt bore above it with room left over.
4) I have a fire rated door with an abandoned lock cutout. Can I screw an RP-18 over it?
Covering a hole on a fire door is not the same as filling it. A surface plate like the RP-18 hides the opening cosmetically, but a fire rated assembly requires the prep itself be filled per the door manufacturer's listing before any cover goes on. Fill the cutout to the door manufacturer's instruction first, then apply the plate for appearance. On a non-rated opening, the plate alone is fine.
5) What gauge steel is the Don-Jo RP-18 remodeler plate, and is it stiff enough to bridge an open lock cutout?
0.032 gauge. That is a thin, formable stock, so it lies flat against the door face and takes fasteners easily, but it is a cover plate rather than a structural panel. Across an open mortise pocket it will bridge the void and look finished, though it will flex if you press on the unsupported center. For openings where the plate takes abuse, back the cutout with a filler block before fastening.
6) What finishes does the Don-Jo RP-18 come in, and which one matches my existing lever trim?
Two finishes: 605 polished brass and 630 satin stainless steel. 630 is the standard commercial satin stainless finish and is what most lever locks, exit devices and push plates in an office, school or hospital are specified in, so that is the match on the majority of commercial openings. 605 is bright polished brass, for buildings still running brass trim. Check the finish stamped on the lock you are replacing and order to match.
7) Does the Don-Jo RP-18 come single or in a pack? I'm doing a whole floor of doors.
The RP-18 ships in a shelf pack of 10. That works out well for a multi-door retrofit, since a lock swap usually means covering the old prep on both faces of the door, which is two plates per opening. Ten pieces covers five doors done both sides, or ten doors done on one face.
8) Does a Don-Jo RP-18 remodeler plate come with screws?
Plan on supplying your own fasteners. Order sheet metal screws for hollow metal doors or wood screws for wood, in a head that matches the plate finish so the fastener does not stand out against 605 brass or 630 stainless. Some installers also run a bead of silicone behind the plate on exterior openings to keep water out of the old prep.
9) Will the RP-18 hold up in a school or hospital corridor, or is it only for light duty?
It is specified as commercial, and the typical applications run to office buildings, educational facilities, healthcare institutions, retail and multi-tenant residential during hardware upgrades. In 630 satin stainless it stands up to cleaning chemicals and handprint traffic better than a brass finish, which is why most institutional facilities standardize on 630 across the building.
