Baldwin Estate 8000 Standard Security Deadbolt Strike

Both come in the box. The Estate 8000 strike ships with the dust box that lines the bolt pocket in the jamb and a strike reinforcer that sits behind the plate. Nothing extra to add to the order for a standard install, you just need the jamb mortised for the strike and a bolt hole bored deep enough for the dust box.

Residential. The Estate 8000 is a standard security deadbolt strike built for the Estate residential line. For an apartment corridor door, a commercial entry, or anywhere the opening needs to hold a fire label or an ANSI grade, specify a commercial strike sold for that use instead. On single-family front doors, condo units, and comparable residential entries it is the correct part.

Five finishes: 003 Polished Brass PVD, 050 Satin Brass Black, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 112 Venetian Bronze, and 190 Satin Black. These are Baldwin Estate finish codes, so if you are matching a strike to Estate deadbolts and trim already on the door, order the same numeric code you see on the existing hardware rather than matching by eye. Oil Rubbed Bronze and Venetian Bronze in particular read very differently in daylight.

The 8000 standard security strike is the right call when you are replacing a damaged or mismatched strike, changing finish, or completing a new Estate deadbolt install on a sound jamb. It brings a dust box and a reinforcer, which is more than a plain stamped plate. Where the door has been kicked before, or the jamb is a thin split-jamb with no solid backing, a high security strike with long screws into the framing behind the jamb does more for you than the plate itself. The strike is only as strong as what the screws land in.

No. This is a deadbolt strike, so the opening in the plate is a straight rectangular pocket sized for a square deadbolt throwing into it. A latchbolt needs a strike with a curved lip that rides the bevel of the latch closed. Put a deadbolt strike behind a knob or lever latch and the door will not pull shut. Order a latch or entry strike for that bore.

Yes, the Estate 8000 strike is sold on its own by finish, so you can bring mismatched strikes into line with the deadbolts and trim already hung without touching the locks. Order per opening in the finish code that matches the existing Estate hardware, one of 003, 050, 102, 112, or 190. Confirm each existing strike mortise is the 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 size before you buy in quantity, since older or builder-grade jambs sometimes carry a taller plate.

Brass is the substrate on the Estate 8000 deadbolt strike, finished in the Baldwin Estate finish codes. Brass matters here for two reasons: it takes the plated and living finishes consistently with the rest of the Estate line, and it will not rust in an exterior jamb the way a plated steel strike can once the finish is scratched by the bolt.
