Baldwin 6040102R Right Hand ASA Strike For 2-3/4" Backset Latch and Deadbolt

The Baldwin 6040 strike plate measures 1-7/8 x 4-7/8 inches, which is the standard ASA (T-strike) size cut into most commercial and residential steel and wood frames. If your frame is already prepped for a 1-7/8 by 4-7/8 ASA strike, this drops into that mortise with no new cutting.

No. The 6040 strike is made for locks with a 2-3/4 inch backset latch and deadbolt. Backset is the distance from the door edge to the center of the bore, and it governs where the latch sits relative to the strike pocket, so pair this one with 2-3/4 inch backset hardware rather than the 2-3/8 inch residential backset.

The lip is what makes it handed. On a right hand strike the lip is formed to deflect the latch on a door that swings in a right hand direction, so an ORDER of left hand plate will point the lip the wrong way and the latch will catch the frame instead of riding onto it. Stand outside the door on the keyed side: if the hinges are on your right and the door swings away from you, you want the right hand plate, which is the 6040102R.

Check the bolt. The 6040 is built for locks with a 5/8 inch wide latch bolt. A wider bolt will not seat cleanly in the strike opening, so confirm the latch face before ordering.

Both. It is a single ASA plate with openings for a 2-3/4 inch backset latch and deadbolt, so one strike covers an entry lock and its deadbolt on the same opening. No separate deadbolt strike is needed when the lock set is prepped for a combined ASA strike.

It installs with number 12 combination wood/machine screws, which is what is called out for the plate. That thread works into a wood jamb or into a tapped steel frame, but on a wood jamb with a deadbolt you may still want longer screws reaching the stud behind the jamb for pull resistance.

Brass substrate, finished in 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, and it belongs to Baldwin's Estate Series. If the rest of the openings in the building are Estate Series hardware in 102, this plate will carry the same finish designation. Oil rubbed bronze is a living finish that darkens and wears over time, so a new plate next to years-old trim will not match exactly at first.

Baldwin lists the 6040 as residential hardware in the Estate Series line. The plate itself is an ASA size and brass built, but for a commercial opening, especially a fire rated or high traffic door, specify hardware that carries the commercial listing your job requires rather than this one.

Furnished flat, with rounded lip edges. Flat means it seats against a flat jamb face rather than a rabbeted or radiused profile, and the rounded lip edges keep the latch from hanging up as the door closes.
