Product Description
The DON-JO HF45PC is a door hinge filler plate designed to cover vacated hinge mortises on steel or wood door frames when hinges are relocated or removed. Measuring 1.75 inches wide by 4.5 inches long with a 0.3-inch profile, it provides a flush, clean surface over exposed hinge cutouts. The prime coat finish accepts field-applied paint, making it suitable for commercial and institutional door openings where finish matching is required. Installation is handled by locksmiths, door and hardware technicians, or general contractors during door hardware replacement or remodel work.
This filler plate is used in commercial, institutional, and residential applications wherever a hinge has been removed, repositioned, or upgraded and the original mortise needs to be concealed. Common scenarios include door frame reuse after hardware upgrades, security upgrades requiring hinge relocation, and renovation projects where existing door frames are retained. The prime coat finish makes it ready for paint to match surrounding frame finishes on site.

Installation Notes
Installation is typically performed by a locksmith or door hardware technician. Before beginning work, confirm the door is secured open or properly blocked to prevent movement during installation. Fastener type should match the door frame substrate wood screws for wood frames, self-tapping or machine screws for hollow metal frames. After installation, apply a compatible paint or primer topcoat to achieve the desired finish match.
