Deltana TSRCA275 T-Strike for Deltana RCA430, 2-3/4" x 1-3/4", Solid Brass

No. The TSRCA275 is a catch strike built for the Deltana RCA430, so it takes a roller or ball catch, not a bolt. For a deadbolt you want a deadbolt strike such as the Emtek 83223 square-corner strike plate or the Kwikset 80318 full round adjustable strike. If the bolt hole in the frame needs lining, the Kwikset 81640 strike box or the 81231-001 metal strike dust box covers that.

The strike plate measures 2-3/4 x 1-3/4 inches, so the frame face has to be routed to accept that footprint. If you are swapping an existing RCA430 strike, the prep is already there. On a new install, cut the mortise to the plate outline and let the T-shaped tongue project into the frame for the catch to grab.

The Deltana TSRCA275 T-strike is the replacement strike made for the Deltana RCA430 catch, measuring 2-3/4 inches by 1-3/4 inches in solid brass. Because it is matched to that catch, the strike lip and mortise footprint line up with the existing prep. Generic deadbolt strikes such as the Emtek 83223 standard deadbolt strike plate with square corners are built for a deadbolt bolt, not a roller catch, so they are not interchangeable with the TSRCA275 on an RCA430 opening.

No. The Kwikset 80318 full round adjustable strike and the Kwikset 81825 6 way adjustable deadlatch are deadbolt strike plate parts, intended for a bolt or latch throw from a bored lock. The Deltana TSRCA275 is a T-strike for the Deltana RCA430 catch, so the mating part is a roller or ball catch rather than a bolt. Where the door has a bored deadbolt, the Kwikset adjustable strikes apply; where it has an RCA430 catch, the TSRCA275 is the matching strike.

Eight finishes: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, and Brushed Chrome. If you are matching a run of doors, order the strike in the same finish code as the RCA430 catches already installed. PVD Polished Brass is the one to pick over standard Polished Brass where the strike sees hands or cleaning chemicals, since the PVD coating is the harder-wearing version of the same look.

Solid brass throughout, both the substrate and the material. That matters on a catch strike because the tongue takes repeated impact from the roller every time the door closes; a thin plated stamping deforms and the catch stops holding. Brass also means it will not rust in a bathroom or a coastal building.

Different jobs entirely. The Deltana TSRCA275 T-strike is a small catch strike, 2-3/4 x 1-3/4 inches, that a roller catch snaps into on a wood or hollow metal frame. An ASA strike, like the Codelocks ASA strike plate, is the long standard-prep lock strike used with cylindrical and tubular locksets in commercial frames. If your frame is already cut for ASA prep, the T-strike is not a drop-in for it.

The Deltana TSRCA275 T-strike is solid brass and comes in PVD polished brass, polished brass, antique brass, oil rubbed bronze, brushed nickel, antique nickel, polished chrome, and brushed chrome, so it can be specified to match the rest of the trim on a door. By contrast, the Codelocks ASA strike plate is offered in a stainless steel finish. On openings where the visible strike has to carry a decorative finish, the brass TSRCA275 gives the finish range; where the opening is utilitarian and ASA prepped, the stainless Codelocks plate is the fit.

It is a commercial-grade part, which is why it turns up on office, hospitality, and multi-family openings rather than only in homes. Solid brass construction and the 2-3/4 x 1-3/4 inch plate are what a facility would standardize on across a floor of doors.

Sold individually, one strike per unit. Order one per RCA430 catch you are servicing. For a building doing a whole floor, count openings, not pairs.
