Hager Hinge 337B Template Hinge Shim Prime Coat

Product Description

The HAGER HINGE 337B is a template hinge shim designed for use with 4.5-inch door hinges in commercial and residential door hardware applications. Finished in a prime coat, this shim is ready for field painting to match surrounding hardware or door frame finishes. At 0.065-gauge thickness, it provides precise spacing and alignment correction during hinge installation. The 337B is typically installed by finish carpenters, door hardware specialists, and commercial glazing contractors who require accurate hinge mortise depth adjustment without re-cutting the door or frame.

This shim is suited for use in standard template hinge applications on wood or hollow metal door frames. It is sold individually and is also available in case quantities of 50, making it practical for contractors working on multi-door commercial projects or new construction where consistent hinge alignment is required across many openings.

Installation Notes

Installation of hinge shims is typically performed by licensed door hardware installers or finish carpenters. Before installing or adjusting hinge hardware, ensure the door is propped securely and all fasteners in the hinge mortise area are removed. Shims should be trimmed or stacked as needed to achieve flush seating of the hinge leaf within the mortise. Refer to applicable building codes and door hardware standards for proper hinge reinforcement and fastener requirements.
