Don-Jo DON-SHF-45-PC – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is a hinge filler plate strong enough to use where the old hinge was, or is it just cosmetic?
The SHF-45 is a cover, not a structural repair. It is fabricated from 10-gauge (.134) steel, which is heavy enough that it won't oil-can or dent when a cart clips the frame, but it carries no door weight. It hides an abandoned or mismatched hinge cutout so the frame reads clean. If the mortise is torn out and the hinge is going back in the same spot, you need a reinforcement, not a filler.
2) I'm rehanging doors and moving the hinge locations up the frame. What covers the old cutouts?
A hinge filler plate like the Don-Jo SHF-45 is the standard fix. When new hinge positions don't land on the old ones, the abandoned pockets get a 4-1/2 x 1-1/2 inch steel plate over them, prime coated if the frame is being repainted. Order one per abandoned mortise, and count both jamb and door edge if you moved the hinges on a wood or hollow metal door where both sides are cut.
3) What finishes does the Don-Jo SHF-45 hinge filler plate come in?
Four: brass plated (BP), chrome plated (CP), duronodic brown coated (DU), and prime coated (PC). Prime coated is the one to pick if the frame is getting painted, since it takes topcoat directly and disappears into the frame color. BP and CP are the choices when the plate stays exposed next to bright brass or chrome hinges and you want it to read as intentional trim rather than a patch.
4) Can I use the SHF-45 on the door itself, or only on the frame?
Both. The SHF-45 covers unused or mismatched hinge cutouts on door frames and on doors, so it works whether the leftover mortise is in the hollow metal jamb or in the door edge. Same plate either way, since a full mortise butt cuts a matching pocket on both sides of the opening.
5) Does the SHF-45 have handing, or does one plate work on left and right hand doors?
No handing. The SHF-45 is a flat 4-1/2 x 1-1/2 inch steel rectangle, so the same plate goes on a left hand or right hand opening and on either jamb. Order by count of mortises to cover, not by door swing.
6) How does the Don-Jo SHF-45 get sold, single or in a pack?
The SHF-45 comes in a shelf pack of 10. That suits the way these actually get used, since a door renovation rarely produces one orphan mortise, and a maintenance shop replacing hinges across a floor of openings will go through a box.
7) Is the SHF-45 filler plate rated for commercial doors or is it a residential part?
Commercial. The SHF-45 is a steel plate specified for commercial door hardware work, and the 10-gauge (.134) material is what carries it through high-traffic openings in schools, hospitals, offices and warehouses without deforming. It's equally usable on a residential door, it is just built heavier than a residential opening requires.
