Don-jo ST386PC Conversion Plate Prime Coat 8x1.25 in

Product Description

The DON-JO ST386PC is a conversion plate finished in prime coat, designed for use in door hardware applications where an existing cutout or hole must be covered or adapted for a new lockset or latch configuration. Measuring 8 inches in length, 1.25 inches in width, and 0.63 inches in height, this plate provides a clean, paintable surface ready for finish coats on site. It is sold as a single unit and is a standard component used by door hardware installers and locksmiths working on commercial and residential door prep conversions.

This conversion plate is suited for residential and light commercial door applications where a previous latch or lock prep does not match the new hardware being installed. It covers and bridges mismatched or oversized door edge preparations, allowing a proper mounting surface for replacement hardware. The prime coat finish makes it compatible with most field-applied paints, giving installers flexibility to match existing door finishes without additional surface prep steps.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed locksmith or door hardware installer. Remove all existing hardware from the door before fitting the conversion plate, and ensure the door edge surface is clean and free of debris. Secure the plate per the hardware manufacturer's fastener guidance. Prime coat finish should be painted after installation to meet finish requirements; follow local building codes for door hardware specifications.
