Callan 1-1/8" x 2-3/4" Deadbolt Strike w/ Reinforcement Plate - Style 9118R

The 9118R strike plate has its screw holes 2-1/8 inches center-to-center, which is the common spacing on residential and light commercial deadbolt strikes. Measure between the centers of the two screws holding your current strike; if that comes out at 2-1/8 inches, the 9118R drops straight in. The strike face itself measures 1-1/8 by 2-3/4 inches, so if your existing plate is that size you also won't have paint or finish outline showing around the edges.

Look at the plate that's on the door jamb now. If its corners are rounded, order the round corner 9118R; if they're squared off, order the square corner version. The mortise already cut into your jamb is shaped to match, so picking the wrong corner leaves gaps at the corners or means chiseling. Both corner styles come in all four finishes: US15 satin nickel, US3 polished brass, US10B aged bronze, and US19 black.

The Callan 9118R is a 1-1/8 inch by 2-3/4 inch deadbolt strike with a reinforcement plate, sized for the small strike cutout common on residential-style and light commercial wood jambs, with the strike holes 2-1/8 inch center to center. A frame already prepped for the standard ASA cutout takes a template ASA strike instead, such as the Cal-Royal ASA478 template ASA strike for commercial door hardware. Measure the existing cutout in the jamb first: an ASA prep will not be filled by the 1-1/8 inch by 2-3/4 inch face, and the 9118R hole spacing will not land on ASA screw locations.

A deadbolt strike like the Callan 9118R only does work when a deadbolt bolt is thrown into it; it does nothing to hold a door that drifts open at the latch. For an opening with no latch bolt to hold it, a roller latch does that job: the ABH 1890 Series roller latch comes with a full lip cast strike and 5/16 inch adjustable projection, and the ABH 1895 Series roller latch uses a T strike with 1/2 inch adjustable projection. Choose by the frame lip and how much projection the gap needs. If the door does have a deadbolt and the bolt is chewing out the jamb, then the reinforcement plate on the 9118R is the right answer.

It's a second steel plate that sits behind the visible strike, spreading the load of a kick-in across a wider area of the jamb instead of concentrating it on the two strike screws. On a rental unit or any exterior entry door, that's the difference between the deadbolt holding and the strike tearing out of soft jamb wood. It's the cheapest security upgrade you can make at a door, and it goes in during the same swap as the strike itself.

Yes, the 9118R is finished to match other Delaney Hardware products carrying the same finish code, so a US15 satin nickel strike sits alongside US15 levers and deadbolts without a visible mismatch. For fleet work across a portfolio, specify one of the four codes (US15, US3, US10B, US19) and stay on it across doors.

The 9118R is classed as commercial hardware, so it's appropriate for apartment entries, multi-family corridors, and light commercial openings, as well as houses. What it will not do is serve a glass door or an electromagnetic lock: for a glass door lock strike look at the Codelocks CL4000-RSB glass door strike box, and for a mag lock armature you want an offset strike such as the Securitron AOS.

No. The Securitron AOS is an armature offset strike, a mounting component for a magnetic lock armature, and the ABH 20020 is a standard door armature head assembly with 1-5/8 inch projection in that same electromagnetic family. The Callan 9118R is a mechanical deadbolt strike with a reinforcement plate that receives a throwing deadbolt bolt in the jamb. If the opening is held by a maglock, the AOS mounts the armature; if the opening is secured by a keyed or thumbturn deadbolt, the 9118R is the part that catches the bolt. They are not interchangeable in either direction.

The Callan 9118R deadbolt strike with reinforcement plate mounts into a jamb and is supplied with all necessary mounting hardware, which assumes a frame you can screw into behind the strike. Frameless glass doors take a surface strike box instead: the Codelocks CL4000-RSB is a glass door strike box suitable for use with CL4000 or CL4500 glass door locks. On a mixed property, plan the wood and hollow metal jambs around the 9118R, which comes in round and square corner versions and in US3 polished brass, US10B aged bronze, US15 satin nickel and US19 black, and handle the glass openings with the strike box that matches the lock already on them.

No. All the mounting hardware comes with the strike, so it's a one-trip job. Worth noting for a property manager doing an entry door: the value of a reinforced strike comes from the screws reaching past the jamb into the framing stud, so on a security upgrade many installers swap in longer screws at the two main holes.

US19 black is one of the four finishes offered, in both round corner and square corner. The others are US15 satin nickel, US3 polished brass, and US10B aged bronze. US19 is the closest match for the black entry sets and deadbolts that dominate current residential and multi-family specs.

No, they reinforce different things. The reinforcement plate on the Callan 9118R sits behind a 1-1/8 inch by 2-3/4 inch deadbolt strike in the jamb and backs up the pocket the bolt drives into. The Trimco 1268 is an anchor plate 3-1/2 inches in diameter, a round plate for a different mounting purpose entirely and not a bolt-receiving strike. If the complaint is a deadbolt tearing through a soft jamb, the 9118R with its reinforcement plate is the part that addresses it.
