Deltana TSPE250 Extended T-Strike, 2-3/4" x 2-1/2"

The TSPE250 measures 2-3/4 x 2-1/2 inches, with a 2 inch lip extension. That footprint is larger than a standard residential T-strike, so it will cover over the existing mortise on most residential jambs rather than leaving cut edges showing. Measure the old plate first: anything up to 2-3/4 x 2-1/2 hides under it, anything bigger will still show.

The lip is the curved tongue that projects out over the jamb face so the latch rides up onto the plate instead of catching on wood. A 2 inch lip extension is the long version, used where the jamb sits proud of the door face or where the casing is set back and a standard short lip leaves the latch scraping trim. If your latch currently drags on the jamb edge before it hits the strike, the extended lip is the part you want.

It is a T-strike, which is the shape used for a keyed or passage latch, the T opening takes the angled latchbolt and the lip guides it home. It is not a deadbolt strike. For a deadbolt you want a flat rectangular plate such as the Emtek 83223 Standard Deadbolt Strike Plate with square corners, or the Kwikset 80318 Full Round Adjustable Strike if the bore in your jamb is round. On a lock with both functions you order two separate strikes.

Two different fixes. The TSPE250 replaces a worn or wrong-lip strike with a solid brass one in a finish that matches the trim, it does not move the latch point. If the door has settled and the latch lands high or low of the hole, an adjustable strike solves that instead, the Kwikset 81825 6 Way Adjustable Deadlatch is built for exactly that misalignment. Cosmetics and lip reach, buy the Deltana. Alignment, buy the adjustable.

No. The TSPE250 is a replacement strike for residential locks, the T shape and 2-3/4 x 2-1/2 footprint suit a tubular latch in a wood jamb. A commercial mortise lock in a hollow metal frame takes an ASA strike, the long rectangular plate with the radiused corners, such as the Codelocks ASA Strike Plate in stainless steel. Multi-family unit entry doors with residential locksets are the place the Deltana fits.

They serve different parts of the door. The TSPE250 is an extended T-strike measuring 2-3/4 inches by 2-1/2 inches with a 2 inch lip extension, made of solid brass, and it is the replacement strike for a residential lock latch. The Emtek 83223 is a standard deadbolt strike plate with square corners. If you are replacing the strike that catches the latchbolt on a knob or lever set, the T-strike is the shape you want; if the plate you are pulling off catches a deadbolt, the 83223 is the deadbolt-specific part.

Yes. The Kwikset 80318 is a full round adjustable strike, and the Kwikset 81825 is a 6 way adjustable deadlatch, both of which let you take up misalignment without recutting the mortise. The Deltana TSPE250 is a fixed extended T-strike, 2-3/4 inches by 2-1/2 inches with a 2 inch lip, so its lip position is what it is once the plate is screwed down. Use the fixed brass T-strike when the prep is right and you want the finish to match the rest of the trim, and go adjustable when the opening has moved.

Probably not. The Codelocks ASA strike plate is the ASA-format plate in a stainless steel finish, which is the pattern euro-profile and code-lock openings are typically prepped for. The Deltana TSPE250 is an extended T-strike, 2-3/4 inches by 2-1/2 inches, in solid brass with a 2 inch lip, and it is the replacement strike shape for residential lock latches. Match the plate to the jamb prep already cut, not to the door.

Solid brass, not plated steel. That matters for two reasons: it will not rust-bleed down a painted jamb the way a plated steel strike does once the finish chips, and the brass takes the applied finish uniformly so it matches Deltana levers and hinges in the same finish family on the rest of the opening.

The TSPE250 is the face plate only, sold each. If the latch mortise in your jamb is a raw wood pocket and you want a metal cup behind the plate, order a strike box separately, the Kwikset 81640 Strike Box or the Kwikset 81231-001 Metal Strike Dust Box cover that. On a retrofit where a box is already buried in the jamb, you usually just swap the visible plate.

One part covers both. A T-strike is symmetrical top to bottom, the lip simply faces out toward the door stop, so the same plate serves a left hand or right hand swing. What does change is which way the lip bends, and on this plate it is fixed, so mount it lip out over the jamb face and the door closes against it either way.

The TSPE250 is the face plate itself, an extended T-strike in solid brass measuring 2-3/4 inches by 2-1/2 inches. The box that lines the bolt pocket behind the jamb is a separate item: the Kwikset 81231-001 metal strike dust box and the Kwikset 81640 strike box both fill that role. On a jamb where the bolt pocket is chewed up or the bolt is dropping into bare framing, plan on a strike box behind the plate.

The Deltana TSPE250 extended T-strike is solid brass and comes in Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, and Polished Brass, so it can be ordered to match a decorative trim package. The Codelocks ASA strike plate comes in a stainless steel finish. If the plate sits on a jamb where the customer sees it next to lever trim and hinges, the finished brass T-strike is the one that blends in.

No. The Kwikset 81825 is a 6 way adjustable deadlatch, which is latch hardware for the door edge, while the Deltana TSPE250 is a strike plate that mounts on the jamb, 2-3/4 inches by 2-1/2 inches with a 2 inch lip in solid brass. They sit on opposite sides of the opening and are not interchangeable. If the latch is what is worn, the deadlatch is the part; if the jamb plate is what is bent or mismatched, order the T-strike.

Three: Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, and Polished Brass. For a property manager matching a run of doors, pick the one already on your levers, the strike is the piece people notice when the door is open.

It is sold each, priced per unit, so you buy exactly the count of doors you are doing and every plate is the same solid brass part in the same finish. For a fleet, choose one of the three (Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Polished Brass) and stay on it, mixed finishes on strikes are the detail that makes a hallway look patched.
