Deltana SPRCA430 Heavy Duty, Full Lip Strike for Deltana RCA430, Solid Brass

The Deltana SPRCA430 is the heavy duty full lip strike made for the RCA430. It is the matched strike for that latch, so you are not guessing at lip length or cutout size, and it is solid brass. Sold each, so order one per opening.

The SPRCA430 strike measures 2-1/8 x 1-5/8 inches. Compare that against the mortise already cut in your jamb before you swap it in, since a smaller existing strike leaves a visible outline and a larger one leaves the new plate floating over an open pocket.

Only if you can move the keeper. The SPRCA430 is a fixed opening strike sized 2-1/8 x 1-5/8 inches, matched to the RCA430, so it drops into the same position every time and will not take up slack in a door that has settled. For that problem you want an adjustable strike such as the Kwikset 81825 six way adjustable deadlatch or the Kwikset 80318 full round adjustable strike, both of which let you shift the catch point without recutting the jamb.

No. ASA prep is the tall rectangular cutout standard on hollow metal frames, and the SPRCA430 at 2-1/8 x 1-5/8 inches is a small residential-profile lipped strike that will not cover it. For an ASA frame, use an ASA strike plate such as the Codelocks ASA strike plate in stainless steel.

The SPRCA430 is a heavy duty, full lip strike made for the Deltana RCA430, measuring 2-1/8 inches by 1-5/8 inches in solid brass. The Emtek 83223 is a standard deadbolt strike plate with square corners. The Deltana part is a full lip strike, so the lip wraps the jamb edge to guide the latch in; the Emtek 83223 is a flat deadbolt strike, which serves a bolt that throws straight into the jamb with no latch to ramp. If you are dressing a deadbolt hole, the 83223 is the shape that suits it; if you are catching a spring latch on an RCA430, the SPRCA430 is the one cut for that job.

The SPRCA430 is a fixed heavy duty full lip strike sized 2-1/8 inches by 1-5/8 inches, so its lip and screw pattern land where the RCA430 prep puts them. For an opening where the existing mortise is off, the Kwikset 80318 is a full round adjustable strike, and the Kwikset 81825 is a 6 way adjustable deadlatch, both of which allow the catch point to be shifted after the jamb is cut. The tradeoff is material and appearance: the SPRCA430 is solid brass and offered in finishes including polished chrome, oil rubbed bronze and antique brass.

No, those are not substitutes for each other because they are different parts of the same assembly. The SPRCA430 is the visible strike plate, a heavy duty full lip strike in solid brass measuring 2-1/8 inches by 1-5/8 inches, screwed to the face of the jamb. The Kwikset 81640 is a strike box and the Kwikset 81231-001 is a metal strike dust box; a box lines the pocket behind the plate so the bolt or latch does not chew into the jamb wood. On a job where you want both the finished brass face and a lined pocket, they are ordered together rather than one instead of the other.

The SPRCA430 is a 2-1/8 inch by 1-5/8 inch full lip strike cut for the Deltana RCA430, which is a smaller face than a standard ASA jamb prep. For an opening already mortised for ASA, the Codelocks ASA strike plate is the part shaped to that prep and comes in a stainless steel finish. Where the choice is being made on appearance, the SPRCA430 is solid brass in finishes such as PVD polished brass, brushed nickel and antique nickel, while the Codelocks plate is stainless.

The lip is the curved tongue that projects past the jamb face and rides the latch in as the door closes. A full lip strike like the SPRCA430 carries a longer lip than a flat or lipless plate, which is what you want where the latch would otherwise drag on trim or a rabbeted stop before it reaches the plate. Where the jamb is flush and the latch meets the plate square, a plain flat strike does the same job.

It is a commercial grade part, built as a heavy duty strike in solid brass rather than the stamped steel or plated zinc used on residential packs. Brass will not rust in an exterior jamb and holds thread on the screw seats, which is what fails first on a high cycle entry door in a multi-family or hospitality building.

Nine finishes: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, and Paint Black. If you are matching a run of doors, PVD Polished Brass and standard Polished Brass are not the same product, the PVD version is the coated one and it holds its color longer outdoors.

The SPRCA430 is the strike plate itself, solid brass. If your jamb bore needs a lined pocket behind the plate, that is a separate part, and the Kwikset 81231-001 metal strike dust box or the Kwikset 81640 strike box cover it. On a wood jamb where the latch pocket is drilled clean, plenty of installers set the plate alone.

For a fleet where the visible hardware is brass or bronze, the Deltana SPRCA430 is a solid brass strike offered in nine finishes, among them polished brass, antique brass, oil rubbed bronze, brushed chrome and paint black, so the strike can be run to match the rest of the door. The comparable strikes take a different route: the Codelocks ASA strike plate comes in a stainless steel finish, and the Kwikset 81231-001 is a metal strike dust box, a part that sits inside the jamb rather than on its face. Note the SPRCA430 is specific to the Deltana RCA430, so matching finish across a building assumes that lock is what the doors carry.

Solid brass through the whole part, not plated over steel, so a scratch from a key or a screwdriver does not open a rust path the way it does on a plated stamping. That matters on the strike more than most trim, because the latch scrapes the lip every single cycle. In a coastal or pool-deck environment the PVD Polished Brass finish is the one that keeps its appearance longest.

The SPRCA430 runs the same nine finish codes Deltana uses across its door hardware, including Oil Rubbed Bronze, Antique Brass, Brushed Nickel and Polished Chrome, so the strike keys to the lockset and hinges rather than sitting off-tone in the jamb. Ordering the strike in the same finish as the RCA430 it serves is the straightforward way to keep an opening consistent.
