Don-jo SP135DU Scar Plate 3.5in Hole Dark Bronze

Product Description

The DON-JO SP135DU is a scar plate designed to cover and reinforce the mortise area on a door edge after lock or latch hardware installation. It measures 3.5 inches in length and features a 2.125-inch hole cutout along with through bolt notches to accommodate standard door hardware fastening. The plate ships in a dark bronze finish, providing a clean, finished appearance on commercial and residential door applications. Licensed locksmiths, door hardware installers, and finish carpenters typically install this plate as part of a complete lockset or deadbolt installation.

This scar plate is suited for use on wood or hollow-metal doors where a mortise pocket or bore requires covering after hardware changes or upgrades. The through bolt notches allow the plate to sit flush while accommodating existing bolt patterns. It is appropriate for both new installations and retrofit projects where a clean door-edge appearance is required after lock replacement or rekeying work.
