Don-jo EF-161-S Deadlock Strike Filler Plate

The Don-jo EF-161-S Deadlock Strike Filler Plate is a professional-grade hardware solution designed for commercial and residential door frames. This steel strike filler is specifically engineered to fill the void left in a frame when a deadbolt or deadlock strike has been removed. By properly closing off the strike prep, the EF-161-S restores the structural integrity of the frame and provides a clean, finished appearance for the entryway.

Measuring 1-1/8" x 2-3/4", this plate is sized to fit standard residential and commercial deadbolt strike cutouts. It is an essential component for facility managers and locksmiths performing door frame restoration or hardware reconfiguration where a deadbolt is no longer required.

Key Features & Performance

• Precision Frame Filling: Designed to seamlessly fill the "deadlock strike" cutout, preventing the frame from appearing damaged or incomplete after hardware removal.
• Standard Dimensions: Features a 2-3/4" height and 1-1/8" width, matching the industry-standard footprint for most common deadbolt strike preps.
  
• Prime Painted Finish: Supplied in a gray primer (PC) finish, allowing the plate to be easily painted on-site to match the existing frame color for a nearly invisible repair.
  
• Structural Reinforcement: Fills the cavity in the hollow metal frame, maintaining the flat profile required for smooth door operation and weatherstripping contact.
• Code Compliance: Filling unused hardware voids is a critical step in maintaining the safety and aesthetic standards of professional buildings, schools, and hospitals.
