Don-Jo 71-CW Stainless Steel Wrap-Around Plate | 1-3/8" Door Reinforcer (2-3/4" Backset)

The Don-Jo 71-CW Stainless Steel Wrap-Around Plate is a high-security hardware component designed to provide targeted reinforcement for thinner 1-3/8" thick doors. Measuring a compact 4-1/4" wide x 4-1/2" high, this door reinforcer is engineered for residential or light-commercial doors that require a commercial-standard 2-3/4" backset. It serves as the premier solution for door surface repair when the area around the lock has become cracked or compromised, offering a permanent way to restore structural integrity.

Precision-manufactured with a 2-1/8" hole prep, the 71-CW wraps around the door edge to "sandwich" the lock area in industrial-grade steel. This creates a high-impact barrier that serves as a critical solution for door security, preventing the door from splitting during a forced entry attempt or under the stress of high-frequency daily use.

Key Features & Performance

• 1-3/8" Door Specific: Precision-fit for the thinner profile of residential interior/exterior doors, providing a flush, secure fit that strengthens the door's core without excessive bulk.
  
• Commercial 2-3/4" Backset: Features a factory-punched 2-1/8" bore positioned exactly 2-3/4" from the door edge, allowing for the use of commercial-grade latches on thinner door leaves.
  
• Targeted Reinforcement: The 4-1/4" x 4-1/2" profile provides concentrated strength exactly where the lock is mounted, making it an efficient solution for door edge reinforcement.
  
• Premium 630 Stainless Steel: Manufactured from US32D / 630 Satin Stainless Steel, offering superior corrosion resistance and a modern, brushed finish that matches high-end hardware.
  
• Professional Restoration: Functions as a durable remodeling scar plate, hiding finish wear, small cracks, and unsightly mounting marks for a polished, factory-clean appearance.
