Don-Jo HS-060 Metal E Shim | 4.5" Commercial Hinge Adjustment Tool

The Don-Jo HS-060 Metal E Shim is a precision-engineered hardware solution designed to resolve door alignment issues in commercial and industrial environments. This heavy-duty hinge shim is specifically crafted for 4-1/2" commercial hinges, providing an efficient way to correct "door sag," improper clearances, or latching problems. By using these shims, facility managers and locksmiths can ensure a perfectly square door fit, which is critical for the longevity of the hardware and the security of the opening.

Constructed from 16-gauge steel, the HS-060 offers a rigid, permanent fix. Unlike plastic or cardboard alternatives, this steel shim will not compress, crack, or degrade over time, making it the premier solution for metal door alignment in high-traffic settings like hospitals, schools, and government buildings.

Key Features & Performance

• Fast "E" Slot Design: The unique "E" shape allows for rapid installation. There is no need to fully remove the door leaf or hinge; simply loosen the mounting screws, slide the shim behind the hinge leaf, and retighten.
• Precision Thickness Control: At .060" thickness, this shim provides the exact spacing needed to shift the door leaf, ensuring the latch and strike align perfectly for smooth operation.
  
• UL Fire-Rated Integrity: Being made of steel, these shims are suitable for use on fire-rated door assemblies, helping to maintain the necessary clearances required by NFPA 80 codes.
  
• Industrial Durability: Manufactured from 16-gauge steel, these shims are built to support the weight of heavy-duty commercial doors without shifting or losing their shape.
  
• Paint-Ready Finish: Supplied in a Grey Primer (USP) finish, making it ready for immediate use or easy painting to match the existing frame and hinge color.
