Don-jo EF161PC Cut Out Filler Plate Prime Coat

Product Description

The DON-JO EF161PC is a 161 cut out filler plate designed to cover unused or legacy cylindrical lock prep cutouts in hollow metal doors and frames. Finished in a prime coat ready for paint, it measures 1.125 inches wide by 2.25 inches long and sits at a profile height of 0.1 inches. The plate weighs approximately 0.1 pounds and is sold individually. It is a straightforward hardware accessory installed by locksmiths, door hardware technicians, and commercial door contractors to restore a clean appearance to a door face after a lock prep is no longer in use.

This filler plate is suited for commercial and institutional applications where 161 cutout preps need to be blanked off cleanly. Typical scenarios include lock upgrades, access control retrofits, or door repurposing where the original cylindrical lock bore is no longer needed. The prime coat finish accepts field painting to match the door finish, making it a practical solution for facilities maintenance and door hardware installers working on hollow metal door sets.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified door hardware technician.

Fasten the filler plate per the manufacturer instructions using appropriate fasteners for the door material. Prime coat finish should be painted after installation to match the surrounding door finish and prevent corrosion.
