Don-jo FBR-A Universal Flush Bolt Frame Filler Plate with Bolt Hole

The Don-jo FBR-A Universal Flush Bolt Frame Filler Plate is a specialized hardware component designed for the precise maintenance and security of hollow metal door frames. Unlike standard blank filler plates, the FBR-A features a pre-drilled bolt hole, making it the ideal solution for protecting and reinforcing the strike point for manual flush bolts. This commercial-grade frame filler ensures that the header or threshold area remains structurally sound while providing a clean, professional finish to the door assembly.

Measuring 3-7/8" x 1", this plate is engineered to fit the "universal preparation" found in most commercial hollow metal frames. It is a critical component for facility managers and locksmiths who need to repair or reinforce manual flush bolt strike preps in high-traffic environments like schools, hospitals, and office buildings.

Key Features & Performance

• Integrated Bolt Hole: Specifically designed with a center opening to accommodate the bolt of a manual flush bolt, providing a reinforced strike surface that prevents frame wear.
• Universal Frame Compatibility: Sized to match the standard industry prep for hollow metal frames, ensuring a seamless "drop-in" fit for most commercial double-door applications.
  
• Heavy-Duty 16-Gauge Steel: Manufactured from 0.060" thick steel, offering superior durability and resistance to the repeated impact of the flush bolt latch.
  
• Professional Grey Primer Finish: Supplied in a grey primer (PC) finish, which serves as a perfect base for on-site painting to match the existing door frame.
  
• Structural Reinforcement: Protects the internal components of the hollow metal frame from debris and prevents the metal edges of the prep from becoming jagged or sharp over time.
