Don-Jo 212C-CW Stainless Steel Wrap-Around Plate | 2-1/2" Extra-Thick Door Reinforcer (2-3/8" Backset)

The Don-Jo 212C-CW Stainless Steel Wrap-Around Plate is a specialized high-security hardware component engineered specifically for extra-thick 2-1/2" doors. Measuring 4-1/4" wide x 9" high, this heavy-duty door wrap-around plate is designed for the most demanding commercial and custom residential applications where standard reinforcement hardware simply won't fit. It serves as the definitive solution for door surface repair on oversized doors, concealing structural damage, "ghosting," or unsightly holes from previous hardware transitions.

Precision-prepped with a 2-1/8" hole and a 2-3/8" backset, the 212C-CW is the ideal choice for reinforcing cylindrical locksets on thick-profile entryways that utilize a shorter backset configuration. By "sandwiching" the door edge and both faces in industrial-grade steel, it provides a critical solution for door security, preventing the door from splitting under extreme force or high-frequency usage.

Key Features & Performance

• Specialized 2-1/2" Fit: Custom-contoured for extra-thick door leaves, ensuring a flush and secure installation on non-standard oversized openings.
• Standard 2-3/8" Backset: Features a factory-punched 2-1/8" bore positioned exactly 2-3/8" from the door edge, allowing for the use of standard-backset hardware on extra-thick door profiles.
• 9-Inch Structural Coverage: The extended height acts as a professional-grade remodeling scar plate, hiding mounting marks, finish wear, and structural imperfections for a factory-clean look.
• Premium 630 Stainless Steel: Manufactured from US32D / 630 Satin Stainless Steel, offering maximum corrosion resistance and a modern, brushed finish that coordinates with architectural hardware.
  
• Extreme Reinforcement: Strengthens the door leaf to prevent hardware from loosening and provides a permanent, heavy-duty solution for door edge reinforcement.
