Don-Jo TL-2 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Don-Jo TL temporary lock plate cover the lock cutout on a commercial door during construction?
That is exactly the job it does. The TL is a steel filler plate, 4-7/8 inches in length by 1-1/4 inches in width, that goes over a door's lock cutout while the opening sits between hardware. Contractors put it on during construction and renovation phases so the prep is protected from damage and the hole is closed off instead of leaving the door open to anyone who walks up to it. It comes off when the finish lockset goes in.
2) Is the Don-Jo TL an actual lockset or just a plate that covers the hole?
It is a plate. The TL is sold as a temporary lock, and the part itself is a 13 gauge steel filler plate that covers the lock cutout on a commercial door. Buyers who need a working cylinder, keyway, or latch for the opening are looking at a different part. What the TL solves is the gap between hardware: the prep is cut, the permanent lockset is not in yet, and the door needs to be closed up in the meantime.
3) What do I need to specify when ordering a Don-Jo TL temporary lock plate?
Model is the only thing to pick: TL 1, TL 2, or TL 3. There is no finish or handing choice to work through, so the order form is short. Everything ships as 13 gauge (.095) steel in a shelf pack of 10, which is worth knowing before you put a count on the purchase order.
4) Is 13 gauge steel heavy enough to leave on a door in an active job site?
13 gauge works out to .095 inch thick steel, and that is the reason to reach for the TL over a light sheet metal cover. A construction corridor puts carts, ladders, and material through the door all day, and a thin cover dents or peels back at the first hit. The TL is steel through and through and holds its shape under that kind of traffic, which matters because a deformed plate stops covering the cutout it was put there to close.
5) Can I leave a Don-Jo TL on the door permanently instead of installing a lockset?
No. The TL is built for construction, renovation, and hardware transitions, not as the opening's permanent hardware. It covers and protects the cutout while the door waits on its real lockset. Leaving it in place long term means the opening has no latching, no key control, and no function for the people using the door. Plan on it coming off when the finish hardware goes in.
6) I have a run of doors to close up on one project. How do Don-Jo TL plates come packaged?
Shelf pack of 10. That is the practical reason contractors order them this way, since a buildout rarely has one door sitting open at a time, and pulling ten from a single pack beats chasing singles across a floor plan. For a project with thirty openings, three packs cover it.
7) Is the Don-Jo TL meant for commercial doors or will it work on residential ones?
Commercial is what it is spec'd for. The typical work it shows up on is office buildouts, school and healthcare hardware transitions, retail remodels, warehouse and industrial door installs, government buildings, and multi-tenant residential where the doors themselves are commercial. Facility and MRO buyers standardizing a temporary cover across a portfolio of commercial openings are the intended user here.
8) Can I use a temporary lock filler plate to close up a unit door between tenants?
Turnover is one of the transitional periods the TL is made for. Pull the old lockset, put the plate over the cutout, and the prep stays protected and the hole stays closed while the unit is vacant and trades are in and out. Steel construction means it survives being moved from door to door as units come up, and the pack of 10 lines up with how a property manager works through a building rather than a single unit.
