Hager 337A USP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What are Hager 337 hinge shims used for on a door install?
The Hager 337 shims are thin steel plates that go behind a template hinge leaf in the mortise, so you can shift a door in the frame without recutting the mortise. Common uses: closing up a hinge-side gap, correcting a door that drags on the strike jamb, or squaring a slab that hangs off. They come in .028 inch and .065 inch gauges, so you stack or swap to get the clearance you want.
2) Which Hager 337 shim size do I need for a 4-1/2 inch hinge versus a 5 inch hinge?
Match the shim length to the hinge leaf. The 337 comes in 1-7/16 x 4-1/2 inch and 1-7/16 x 5 inch, so a standard 4-1/2 inch full mortise hinge takes the 4-1/2 inch shim and a 5 inch hinge (typical on heavier or wider commercial doors) takes the 5 inch. The 1-7/16 inch dimension is common to both and covers the leaf width sitting in the mortise.
3) Can I use hinge shims to fix a door that binds or won't latch instead of rehanging it?
In most cases yes, and that is what these are for. A door hitting the strike jamb usually needs shims behind the hinge leaves to walk it back; a door binding on the hinge side means the leaves are sitting too proud, so you remove shims or deepen the mortise instead. Shimming corrects gap and swing; it will not fix a warped slab or a frame that is out of square in the opening.
4) Will Hager 337 shims work behind another brand's hinges?
They fit any template hinge whose leaf matches the shim footprint, 1-7/16 inches by 4-1/2 or 5 inches. Template hinges from the major commercial makers share standardized leaf dimensions and screw hole patterns, which is what template means, so a 4-1/2 inch template leaf from another manufacturer takes the 4-1/2 inch shim. Measure the leaf before ordering if the hinge is a non-template or residential pattern, since those vary.
5) Are Hager 337 shims sold individually or by the box?
They come in boxes of 100 pieces and cases of 400. That is contractor packaging, which makes sense for the way they get used: a shimmed door usually needs two or three per hinge and three hinges per opening, so a punch list across a building burns through them fast.
6) Are these shims heavy enough for commercial traffic doors or just residential?
The 337 is a commercial-duty part, steel rather than plastic or cardboard, so it carries the door load through the leaf instead of crushing over time. That matters on high-cycle openings: schools, healthcare corridors, offices, retail entries. Plastic or fiber shims compress and the gap you set on day one drifts back.
7) What Hager model number do I order for the template hinge shims?
The model is 337B. When ordering, specify the size (1-7/16 x 4-1/2 inch or 1-7/16 x 5 inch), the gauge (.028 inch or .065 inch), and the pack, box of 100 or case of 400. Finish is USP primed on all of them, so there is no finish decision to make.
8) Do Hager 337 shims come painted, or do I have to finish them?
They ship in USP primed coat paint, which is a paint-ready primer rather than a decorative finish. On a painted hollow metal frame that is usually all you need, and you can topcoat to match the frame. Nothing about the shim shows once the hinge leaf is seated, so the primer is really there for corrosion protection in the mortise.
