Don-jo SP1353 Scar Plate Through Bolt Notches Bright Brass

Product Description

The DON-JO SP1353 is a scar plate designed to reinforce and finish door latch or lock installations where a through bolt configuration is required. Measuring 3.5 inches in width with a 2.125-inch hole cutout and notches sized for through bolt hardware, this plate installs flush against the door face or edge to cover mortise cutouts and protect the surrounding material. Finished in bright brass, it suits residential and light commercial door hardware applications. Locksmiths, door hardware installers, and finish carpenters typically handle installation as part of a lock replacement or door prep project.

The SP1353 is used in door lock and latch installations where a scar or cover plate is needed to conceal an existing mortise cutout or oversized bore. The through bolt notches accommodate standard through bolt hardware, making it compatible with common cylindrical and mortise lock setups on wood or hollow metal doors. The bright brass finish blends with brass-finish locksets and door hardware in residential entryways and interior applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed locksmith or experienced door hardware technician. Remove all tension from the door hardware and ensure the door is secure before beginning work. Fasten through bolts to the manufacturer-specified pattern using hand tools; do not overtighten fasteners into hollow-core door substrates. Verify plate alignment with the existing bore and latch hardware before final tightening.
