Don-jo SHF45PC Hinge Cutout Filler Plate Prime Coat

Product Description

The DON-JO SHF45PC is a hinge cutout filler plate designed to cover vacant hinge mortises on doors and frames. When a door is rehung, relocated, or replaced with a unit requiring fewer or differently spaced hinges, the original hinge cutouts are left exposed. This plate fills those voids with a clean, flush finish. It measures 4.5 inches in length by 1.5 inches in width and ships with a prime coat finish ready for field painting to match the surrounding door or frame. It is a standard single-unit architectural hardware accessory installed by carpenters, door and hardware technicians, and general contractors during renovation or remodel work.

This filler plate is used in commercial and residential door installations where hinge mortise locations have been abandoned or changed. Typical scenarios include door replacements, frame repairs, security upgrades, and remodel projects where the original hinge layout no longer applies. The prime coat finish makes it suitable for painted steel or wood door frames where the final coat color must match existing conditions. It sells individually and is also available in case quantities of 10 units.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a door hardware technician or finish carpenter. Secure the plate into the mortise recess using appropriate fasteners for the door or frame material. Prime coat finish should be sanded lightly and painted in the field to match the surrounding surface before final inspection. Ensure the door is held open or removed from service before beginning work to prevent movement during installation.
