Don-Jo 7-CW Stainless Steel Wrap-Around Plate | 1-3/8" Door Deadbolt Reinforcer (2-3/4" Backset)

The Don-Jo 7-CW Stainless Steel Wrap-Around Plate is a high-performance security component designed to provide maximum reinforcement for thinner 1-3/8" thick doors. Measuring 4-1/4" wide x 4-1/2" high, this specialized door reinforcer is the premier solution for door surface repair when a door leaf has been compromised by forced entry or structural cracking. It allows for the installation of high-security hardware on residential-thickness doors by providing a rigid, industrial-strength steel foundation.

Precision-manufactured with a 1-1/2" hole prep, the 7-CW is specifically engineered for deadbolts requiring a smaller bore. By "sandwiching" the door edge and faces in heavy-gauge steel, it serves as a critical solution for door security, preventing the door from splitting under pressure and protecting the latch area from prying tools.

Key Features & Performance

• 1-3/8" Door Specification: Precision-fit for the profile of standard residential interior and light-duty exterior doors, ensuring a flush mount that strengthens the door's core.
• Commercial 2-3/4" Backset: Features a factory-punched 1-1/2" bore positioned exactly 2-3/4" from the door edge, allowing for the use of commercial-length deadbolts on thinner door leaves.
• Specialized Deadbolt Prep: The 1-1/2" hole is perfect for older deadbolt styles or specialized security hardware, acting as a durable remodeling scar plate to cover oversized or damaged bores.
• Premium 630 Stainless Steel: Manufactured from US32D / 630 Satin Stainless Steel, offering superior corrosion resistance and a professional, brushed finish that coordinates with modern hardware.
• Concentrated Strength: The compact 4-1/4" x 4-1/2" profile provides a permanent solution for door edge reinforcement without the footprint of a full-length plate.
