Hager Hinge 337A Template Hinge Shim Prime Coat

Product Description

The HAGER HINGE 337A is a template hinge shim designed for use in commercial and residential door hardware installations. Measuring 4.5 inches in length, 1.5 inches in width, and 0.05 inches in thickness, this shim provides precise gap adjustment and alignment correction at the hinge leaf. It is finished in a prime coat, making it ready for field painting to match surrounding hardware. Door hardware installers and finish carpenters reach for shims like this when hinge mortises are cut slightly deep or when door alignment requires fine-tuning without full hardware replacement.

This shim is suited for use with standard template hinges in commercial door frames, hollow metal frames, and wood door applications. It is typically installed during initial hardware set or as a corrective measure during door adjustment service calls. The prime coat finish allows it to blend after painting on both painted steel and wood frame applications. Sold individually, it is also available in case quantities of 50 for contractors stocking job-site hardware kits.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by door hardware installers or finish carpenters as part of hinge hardware service. Remove the door from the frame before placing or adjusting shims at the hinge mortise. Ensure the shim is seated flat against the mortise floor before reinstalling hinge screws to prevent rocking or misalignment. Follow applicable building hardware standards and local codes for door hardware installation in commercial applications.
