Don-Jo WP4S-001 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a Don-Jo WP4S Frame Frog and what does it actually do in the frame?
The WP4S Frame Frog is a wire pathway box that mounts inside a hollow metal door frame to route wiring for electrified door hardware. Its patented shape steers fish tape down whichever of four ports you choose with a flick of a finger, and funnel-shaped ports feed the tape into conduit instead of letting it snag. Internal dividers separate the ports so you can aim the tape at the one you want. It is not a junction box for splices or a power supply, it is the guide that gets the wire from A to B inside the frame.
2) Will the WP4S Frame Frog fit a hollow metal frame that is already prepped and welded for door hardware?
Yes. The WP4S has removable knockouts specifically to clear hardware prep welded to the frame, so it drops into pre-prepped hollow metal frames rather than fighting the reinforcement. It is designed for hollow metal frames, so it is not the part for a wood or aluminum frame.
3) How does the Don-Jo WP4S mount inside the frame, and does it come with the mounting hardware?
Mounting is by tab. The WP4S ships standard with TB-215 tabs, which secure it inside the doorframe, so you are not sourcing a separate bracket to hang it. You still supply the 1/2 inch PVC conduit and sweeps for the runs themselves.
4) What is the difference between the Don-Jo WP4S and the older WP4L-001 backbox?
The WP4S is the newer, smaller version of the original WP4L-001 backbox. Both are Frame Frog wire pathways for electrified door hardware, but the WP4S is the compact form built for hollow metal door frames, which is what you want when frame depth or existing hardware prep leaves you short on room.
5) Why use a four-port wire pathway instead of just fishing wire through the frame?
Four ports let you build multiple pathway arrangements out of one box, so a frame carrying an electric strike, a door position switch and a power transfer can be routed and kept separate rather than pulled blind through the frame cavity. The dividers hold the runs apart and the funnels aim the fish tape at the port you want, which is the difference between a ten minute pull and an afternoon of retries on an access control rough-in.
6) Is the Don-Jo WP4S rated for commercial access control work or is it a residential part?
Commercial. Don-Jo classes the WP4S as commercial door hardware, and the applications it is built for are access controlled openings in office buildings, schools, healthcare, government and municipal buildings, retail and industrial facilities, and multi-tenant residential.
7) How many models of the Frame Frog WP4S are there, and do I have to pick a finish or a hand?
One model, WP4S-001. There is no handing and no finish choice to make, since the pathway lives inside the frame where nothing shows. All you need to specify alongside it is your 1/2 inch PVC conduit and sweeps.
