Detex 98 STRIKE KIT – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Detex 98 strike kit actually do, and which exit devices is it for?
The 98 strike kit is the strike half of the opening, the part that mounts in the frame and catches the latch, not any portion of the exit device itself. Detex builds it for Advantex Series exit devices, so it goes on openings where an Advantex device is already hung. If your device is a different Detex family or another brand, this is not the strike for it.
2) What is a semi-mortise strike, and what frame prep does the Detex 98 kit need?
Semi-mortise means the strike is partly recessed into the frame rather than sitting flat on the surface or being fully let in. The 98 kit is built to that configuration, so the frame needs a pocket cut for the recessed portion with the balance of the strike bearing on the face. On a replacement job where an Advantex device was already running against a semi-mortise strike, the existing prep is what you are matching. On a new opening, plan for the frame to be machined, not just drilled and tapped.
3) My Advantex device is not latching reliably. Do I replace the device or just the strike?
Start with the strike. The 98 kit is sold as a replacement part precisely so that a worn, bent, or mis-seated strike can be swapped without pulling the exit device off the door. If the latch is throwing full travel and simply not catching or holding, the strike is the usual culprit and the cheaper fix. Replace the device only when the latch itself is not throwing.
4) Is the Detex 98 strike kit rated for a school or hospital exit door, or is it light-duty?
Commercial duty. Detex classes the 98 strike as a commercial component, and it is used on exit openings in offices, schools, healthcare buildings, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential, and government facilities. It is not a residential-grade part being sold into commercial work.
5) I am standardizing strikes across a building with Detex exit devices. Is the 98 the same family as other Detex strikes?
The 98 belongs to Detex's 90 Strike Series, so it sits in the same strike family a facility would already be buying from for Detex openings. For a portfolio with mixed Advantex openings, that means one strike part number covers the semi-mortise applications instead of sourcing something different per door. Match the strike to the device family on each opening, though: the 98 is specified against Advantex, not against every Detex device.
6) Will a Trimco 1260P pipe adapter strike work in place of the Detex 98 strike kit?
No. The Trimco 1260P from the 1260 Series is a pipe adapter strike, a strike made to work against a pipe or tube condition, and it is a strike only. It is not an Advantex component and does not substitute for the 98 semi-mortise kit on a Detex exit device opening. If you have an Advantex device, the 98 kit is the strike that belongs on it.
7) Does the Detex 98 come as a complete kit or do I need to order screws and a strike box separately?
It ships as a kit rather than a loose strike plate, which is the difference between it and a bare strike like the Trimco 1260P that is sold strike-only. Set the strike to the latch using the Advantex device's own installation instructions, since the device sheet governs strike location and latch engagement on that opening.
