Don-Jo SHF-50-PC – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a Don-Jo SHF-50 hinge filler plate used for?
The SHF-50 is a flat steel plate that covers an unused or mislocated hinge cutout on a steel door or frame. When a door gets rehung, a hinge gets moved, or a frame arrives with a mortise you don't need, the pocket is left open and visible. The SHF-50 sits over that pocket and gives you a finished face. It's a cover plate, not a hinge and not a shim, so it carries no load.
2) Will the SHF-50 cover a standard 4-1/2 inch commercial hinge mortise?
Not fully. The SHF-50 measures 5 inches by 1-1/2 inches. A standard 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch full mortise butt hinge leaves a pocket about 4-1/2 inches wide on the leaf, so the 1-1/2 inch width of this plate won't span it. The 5 inch length does cover the height of a 4-1/2 inch mortise. Measure the open pocket in both directions before you order; if the cutout is wider than 1-1/2 inches you need a wider filler plate.
3) How thick is the Don-Jo SHF-50 filler plate, and will it stand proud of the door face?
It's 10-gauge steel, .134 inches thick. That's substantial for a cover plate, so on a surface application it will sit about an eighth of an inch above the face. Where the plate drops into the milled hinge pocket instead, the recess normally takes most of that thickness. If you need the plate flush with the face, check the depth of your mortise first.
4) What finishes does the Don-Jo SHF-50 come in?
Four: brass plated (BP), chrome plated (CP), duronodic brown coated (DU), and prime coated (PC). Prime coated is the one to order when the plate is getting painted to match the door or frame, which is the usual call on a hollow metal opening. Brass and chrome plated are for openings where the plate stays visible next to matching hinges or trim.
5) Can I use a hinge filler plate on a wood door, or is it only for hollow metal?
The SHF-50 is built for commercial steel doors and frames, and that's where 10-gauge steel earns its keep. It will physically screw to a wood door, but on wood the plate sits over a chiseled mortise rather than a milled one, and wood pockets are rarely as clean, so a wrap-style or larger cover is often the better fix. On hollow metal, this is the intended part.
6) Is a hinge filler plate the right fix, or do I need a full door edge filler?
Use a filler plate like the SHF-50 when you're covering one abandoned hinge location. If the door has been rehung on the opposite side and you have a whole run of open mortises down the edge, or the cutout is larger than the plate's 5 x 1-1/2 inch footprint, you want an edge filler or a wrap-around instead. The filler plate is a spot repair, not a full edge cover.
7) Do I have to buy Don-Jo SHF-50 filler plates in a multi-pack?
They come in a shelf pack of 10. That's normal for a filler plate, since a rehung opening usually needs two or three at once and property maintenance shops keep them on the shelf. If you're correcting a single hinge location you'll have spares.
8) Does the SHF-50 hinge filler plate come with screws?
Plan on supplying your own fasteners. What you need depends on whether you're going into an existing tapped hinge screw hole in hollow metal (machine screws, typically 12-24) or into fresh holes. Match the head finish to the plate so it doesn't read as a repair.
