Don-Jo BF-161 Cylindrical Lock Face Hole Filler | 2-5/8" Diameter

The Don-Jo BF-161 Cylindrical Lock Face Hole Filler is a heavy-duty security solution designed to permanently "blank out" abandoned hardware holes in commercial and residential doors. This 2-5/8" diameter hole cover is specifically engineered to conceal standard 2-1/8" bore holes left behind when a cylindrical lockset or deadbolt has been removed. By using the BF-161, you can maintain the security and aesthetic of a door without the need for expensive replacement or messy wood fillers.

Featuring a robust thru-bolted design, this filler plate provides a tamper-resistant seal that prevents unauthorized access through the door's internal cavity. It is an essential solution for door hole repair in schools, hospitals, and office buildings where hardware reconfigurations are common.

Key Features & Performance

• Universal Bore Coverage: With its 2-5/8" diameter, this plate easily covers standard 2-1/8" cylindrical lock and deadbolt holes, ensuring all "ghosting" or scarring from previous roses is completely hidden.
  
• Thru-Bolt Security: The thru-bolted design utilizes a connecting bolt that passes through the door, clamping the two steel plates together for a permanent, vibration-resistant hold that cannot be pried off from the exterior.
• Industrial Steel Construction: Manufactured from high-strength steel to provide a rigid, impact-resistant barrier that reinforces the door's structure.
• Professional Grey Primer Finish: Supplied in a high-quality grey primer, serving as the perfect base for on-site painting to match your existing door color seamlessly.
