Baldwin 6040003 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Baldwin 6040 ASA strike work with a 2-3/8 inch backset latch?
The 6040 ASA strike is made for locks set on a 2-3/4 inch backset, both the latch and the deadbolt. Backset is the distance from the door edge to the center of the bore, and it does not change the strike's own footprint, but Baldwin specifies this strike for 2-3/4 inch backset hardware. The other half of the fit is the latch bolt itself: the strike's opening is cut for a 5/8 inch wide latch bolt. If your lock runs a narrower or wider bolt face, it isn't the right strike.
2) What size mortise pocket does the Baldwin 6040 ASA strike need in the frame?
The strike plate measures 1-7/8 by 4-7/8 inches, which is the standard ASA (T-strike) frame prep. If your jamb is already routed for an ASA strike from a previous lockset, this drops into that same cutout. A frame prepped for a smaller round-corner or square-corner residential strike will need to be enlarged.
3) Is the Baldwin 6040 strike flat or does it come with a formed lip?
It's furnished flat, with the lip edges rounded. Flat means you can bend the lip yourself to suit the jamb condition and the amount of lip projection the opening needs, rather than being locked into a fixed lip length out of the box. That is useful on a jamb with heavy casing or an unusual reveal where a pre-formed lip would sit wrong.
4) Is the Baldwin 6040 a residential or a commercial strike?
Baldwin classifies the 6040 as residential hardware, part of the Estate Series. It uses a commercial-style ASA frame prep, but it is specified for residential openings, so for a commercial opening on a fire-rated or high-cycle door you want a strike specified for that duty rather than this one.
5) Can one ASA strike take both the latch and the deadbolt, or do I need two strikes?
This is a single-opening strike for the latch, not a combined latch-and-deadbolt plate. Baldwin specifies the 6040 for 2-3/4 inch backset latch and deadbolt hardware, meaning it suits an opening running that backset. A deadbolt on the same door still gets its own strike, and the 6040's cutout is sized for a 5/8 inch wide latch bolt.
6) Does the Baldwin 6040 ASA strike need to be handed?
No handing to specify. It's furnished flat, so there is no pre-formed lip committing it to a left or right hand jamb, and the 1-7/8 by 4-7/8 inch plate is symmetrical top to bottom in its ASA prep. One part number covers either hand.
