Don-Jo 81-CW Stainless Steel Wrap-Around Plate | Compact 1-3/4" Door Reinforcer (2-3/4" Backset)

The Don-Jo 81-CW Stainless Steel Wrap-Around Plate is a high-security hardware essential designed for targeted reinforcement of standard commercial and industrial doors. Measuring 4-1/4" wide x 4-1/2" high, this door reinforcer is specifically engineered for 1-3/4" thick doors using the industry-standard 2-3/4" backset. It is the premier solution for door surface repair, providing a rigid steel foundation that restores structural integrity to doors with cracked, splintered, or weakened lock preps.

Precision-manufactured with a 2-1/8" hole prep, the 81-CW wraps around the door edge to "sandwich" the latch area in heavy-gauge steel. This creates a high-impact barrier that serves as a critical solution for commercial door security, preventing the door from splitting during a forced entry attempt or under the daily stress of high-frequency use.

Key Features & Performance

• Commercial 1-3/4" Fit: Precision-fit for the standard thickness of commercial hollow metal and solid-core wood doors, ensuring a flush and secure installation.
  
• Standard 2-3/4" Backset: Features a factory-punched 2-1/8" bore positioned exactly 2-3/4" from the door edge, making it a "drop-in" solution for most commercial Grade 1 and Grade 2 lever sets.
  
• Concentrated Reinforcement: The 4-1/4" x 4-1/2" profile provides maximum strength at the lock's mounting point without the footprint of a full-length plate, acting as an efficient solution for door edge reinforcement.
• Premium 630 Stainless Steel: Manufactured from US32D / 630 Satin Stainless Steel, offering industrial-grade corrosion resistance and a modern, brushed finish that coordinates with architectural hardware.
  
• Professional Restoration: Functions as a durable remodeling scar plate, hiding finish wear, small cracks, and imperfections around the lock prep for a polished, factory-clean appearance.
