Don-Jo 1-CW Stainless Steel Wrap-Around Plate | 1-3/8" Residential Door Reinforcer

The Don-Jo 1-CW Stainless Steel Wrap-Around Plate is a high-performance security and restoration solution designed specifically for thinner 1-3/8" thick doors. Measuring 4" wide x 9" high, this heavy-duty door reinforcer is engineered to provide 360-degree protection for the lock area while concealing surface damage, splintering, or "ghosting" from previous hardware. It is the premier solution for door surface repair for residential interior doors or light-commercial entryways that utilize a standard cylindrical lockset.

Precision-manufactured with a 2-1/8" hole prep, the 1-CW is optimized for hardware with a 2-3/8" backset. By "sandwiching" the door edge and both faces in rigid steel, it serves as a critical solution for door security, preventing the door from splitting during a forced entry attempt or under heavy daily use.

Key Features & Performance

• 1-3/8" Door Specific: Tailor-made to fit the thinner profile of residential and light-commercial doors, ensuring a snug, flush fit that does not interfere with the door stop or weatherstripping.
• Standard 2-3/8" Backset: Features a factory-punched 2-1/8" bore positioned exactly 2-3/8" from the edge, making it a "drop-in" upgrade for the most common residential lock configurations.
  
• Professional Restoration: Acts as an architectural remodeling scar plate, hiding unsightly mounting marks, oversized holes, or finish wear left behind by old knobs and levers.
• Premium 630 Stainless Steel: Manufactured from US32D / 630 Satin Stainless Steel, offering superior corrosion resistance and a modern, professional finish that matches high-end hardware.
  
• Structural Reinforcement: Strengthens the lock area to prevent "kicked-in" door failures and provides a permanent solution for door edge reinforcement.
