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

The Don-Jo 8-CW Stainless Steel Wrap-Around Plate is a high-security hardware solution designed for the targeted reinforcement of standard commercial and industrial doors. Measuring 4-1/4" wide x 4-1/2" high, this heavy-duty door reinforcer is precision-engineered for 1-3/4" thick doors using a commercial 2-3/4" backset. It serves as the premier solution for door surface repair when the area around a deadbolt has been compromised by forced entry or structural wear, providing a permanent way to restore the door's integrity.

Precision-manufactured with a 1-1/2" hole prep, the 8-CW is specifically designed for deadbolts requiring a smaller bore. By "sandwiching" the door edge and both faces in industrial-grade steel, it creates a high-impact barrier that acts as a critical solution for commercial door security, preventing the door from splitting under extreme pressure.

Key Features & Performance

• 1-3/4" Commercial Standard: Precision-fit for the standard thickness of commercial hollow metal and solid-core wood doors, ensuring a flush and secure installation.
• 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-grade deadbolts on standard door leaves.
• Specialized Deadbolt Prep: The 1-1/2" hole is ideal for specific deadbolt models or specialized security hardware, acting as a durable remodeling scar plate to cover damaged or oversized bores.
• Premium 630 Stainless Steel: Manufactured from US32D / 630 Satin Stainless Steel, offering maximum corrosion resistance and a professional, brushed finish that matches high-end architectural hardware.
• Concentrated Reinforcement: The 4-1/4" x 4-1/2" profile provides a permanent solution for door edge reinforcement, shielding the lock area without the bulk of a full-size plate.
