Hager 265 Molly Jack Nut | 1/4-20 Thread | US2C Zinc Finish | Package of 12 

The Hager 265 is the ultimate problem-solver for mounting heavy-duty hardware to hollow metal doors and frames. This Molly Jack Nut is specifically designed for applications where there is no internal reinforcement (tapping plates) or where existing screw holes have stripped out over time. Featuring a standard 1/4-20 thread pattern, it provides a permanent, high-strength threaded insert that allows for the secure mounting of exit devices, door closers, and pivots.

Reliable Anchoring for Non-Reinforced Openings

In commercial environments, mounting hardware to a thin-walled hollow metal door without reinforcement often leads to loose screws and hardware failure. The Hager 265 solves this by expanding behind the mounting surface, creating a large bearing area that distributes the load and prevents pull-through. Sold in a package of 12, these anchors are essential for any maintenance kit, ensuring that high-frequency hardware remains firmly attached to the door.

Versatile Hardware Compatibility

The 1/4-20 threading is the most common size for commercial door peripherals. This makes the Hager Jack Nut compatible with a vast array of Hager Exit Devices, Surface Door Closers, and Reinforcing Pivots. Because it creates a permanent threaded sleeve, hardware can be removed and reinstalled as needed for maintenance without compromising the strength of the attachment point.
