A: Yes - occasionally it is necessary to chisel it back to the face of the door but generally what you will find in residential construction is that there is a large gap anyway between the door and frame allowing you to get around the requirement of having to fit the Don-Jo 504-CW S Satin Stainless Steel Door Reinforcer a little better. If your margin is already very tight and it's a door that can't be chiseled like a steel door or a metal clad door this may not be an option for you.

A: The short answer is, absolutely yes. The Don-Jo 504-CW S Satin Stainless Steel Door Reinforcer will permit you to both cover up the existing holes and allow the instillation of your mortise lock. Having said that potential pitfalls would be if your door is fire rated, this device cannot be used as it is not permissible on fire rated doors (as the steel adds to the potential fuel load to the door in a fire), drilling both the door and this stainless steel door reinforcer may prove a challenge for some (but not all) people who consider this rework.

My personal opinion is, if the doors are not fire rated, I would proceed and further more we can prep the function holes in the stainless plates for you as well.
