Don-Jo RP-26AD Remodeler Plate – 5" x 16" Satin Stainless or Bright Brass

The Don-Jo RP-26AD Remodeler Plate is a purpose-built scar plate designed to cover and conceal the mortise cutout left behind when an Adams-prep lock is removed or replaced during a door renovation or tenant changeover. Don-Jo Manufacturing produces this remodeler plate at a generous 5" wide by 16" long footprint — enough coverage to bridge the full height of a typical Adams-cut mortise pocket without exposing raw wood or a damaged door edge. At .032" gauge, the plate lies flat against the door stile and accepts finish hardware over the top without creating a visible ledge. It is available in two architectural finishes: 630 satin stainless steel (US32D) for contemporary or institutional doors, and 605 bright brass (US3) for traditional or period interiors. Specifiers sourcing a remodeler plate for an Adams lock prep, door-restoration contractors replacing a worn mortise body, or locksmiths reconfiguring multi-tenant storefronts will find the RP-26AD a direct, catalog-ready solution.

RP-26AD Remodeler Plate – Key Features

• Correct Coverage for Adams Prep: The 5" x 16" dimensions are sized to span the full mortise pocket of an Adams-prep door, eliminating visible gaps or exposed cavities after lock removal.
• Slim .032" Profile: Low-profile gauge keeps the plate flush against the door stile so overlying trim, new hardware, or a replacement lock cylinder does not rock or bind.
• Two Finish Options: Available in 630 satin stainless steel (US32D) — a corrosion-resistant, non-directional brushed finish — and 605 bright brass (US3) for warm, polished aesthetics that coordinate with traditional lever or knob sets.
• Don-Jo Manufacturing Quality: Produced by Don-Jo, a recognized name in commercial door hardware accessories, the RP-26AD is cataloged as a standard remodeler plate SKU with consistent shelf-pack availability.
• Renovation and Retrofit Ready: Ideal for tenant improvements, door refurbishment projects, and locksmith service calls where the goal is a clean, professional finish over an existing Adams-cut mortise without full door replacement.
• Sold in Shelf Packs of 10: Packaged 10 per shelf pack, making it practical for contractors and distributors managing multi-door renovation projects.
