Don-jo EF161TGPC Thin Gauge Filler Plate Prime Coat

Product Description

The DON-JO EF161TGPC is a thin gauge filler plate designed to cover a 161-style cut out on door preparations where a previous lock or latch has been removed or relocated. Finished in a prime coat ready for painting, this plate installs flush over the existing mortise pocket and restores a clean, professional appearance to the door face. At 1.125 inches wide by 2.25 inches tall and just 0.25 inches in height profile, it fits tight to the door surface with minimal protrusion. Door hardware installers, locksmiths, and finish carpenters typically install this plate during lock changeovers or door refurbishment work.

This filler plate is suited for commercial and residential door applications where a 161 cut out must be covered after a cylindrical lock, latch, or related hardware has been removed. It is commonly used during tenant improvement projects, door hardware upgrades, and security retrofits where the existing door prep does not match the replacement hardware. The prime coat finish allows the plate to be painted to match any door color on site.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed locksmith or door hardware technician. Before installing, confirm the existing cut out dimensions match the plate footprint and that the door surface is clean and free of debris. The prime coat finish should be painted prior to or immediately after installation to prevent corrosion on the exposed surface. Follow applicable local building codes for door hardware and finish work.
