Don-Jo AST-21342-SL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Don-Jo AST-21342 security strike work with both 3-5/8" and 4" centered locksets?
That's exactly what the double hole design is for. The AST-21342 has two latch holes punched on the plate, one at 3-5/8 inch centers and one at 4 inch centers, so one part covers both of the common commercial lockset spacings you'll run into on a frame. Handy when you're reinforcing a building full of mixed openings and don't want to stock two SKUs.
2) How big is the Don-Jo AST-21342 strike plate, and will it cover the frame damage on a kicked-in door?
The plate measures 18 x 1-3/4 inches. That 18 inch run of coverage spreads the load well above and below the latch pocket, which is where a frame splits when a door gets kicked. It's a wrap of the existing strike area, not a replacement lock, so the latch and lockset stay as they are.
3) I need a strike for a pair of doors with no mullion, not a single opening. Is this the right part?
No. The AST-21342 is an 18 inch reinforcement plate for a single lockset location in a frame. For a double door application, look at the Detex 92 Strike Kit, which is a double door strike kit that comes with tamper resistant fasteners.
4) Do I have to change my lockset to install the Don-Jo AST-21342?
No lock change needed. The AST-21342 is frame side hardware only, a reinforcement strike plate that goes on the jamb over the existing strike area. Your existing latch keeps working through the plate's hole, provided the lockset centers are 3-5/8 or 4 inches, which are the two spacings the plate is punched for.
5) Is a Detex 92 strike kit a substitute for the Don-Jo AST-21342 security strike?
No, they solve different problems. The Don-Jo AST-21342 is an 18-inch by 1-3/4 inch ferrous security strike with a double hole for 3-5/8 inch and 4 inch centered locksets, used to reinforce the frame around an existing lockset latch. The Detex 92 Strike Kit is a double door strike kit supplied with tamper resistant fasteners and belongs to the Detex 90 Strike Series, which is the strike hardware that pairs with an exit device on a double door opening. If the opening has a cylindrical or mortise lockset on a single frame and you want added frame reinforcement, the AST-21342 is the part; if you are building out a double door exit device application, the Detex 92 kit is the strike hardware for that.
6) How thick is the metal on the Don-Jo AST-21342 security strike?
13 gauge, .095 inch, in ferrous material. That is heavy plate compared with the light strikes that ship in a lockset box, and it's the reason this one is specified for forced entry resistance rather than cosmetic patching.
7) How many Don-Jo AST-21342 strikes come in a pack?
They ship in shelf packs of 10. If you're doing a handful of doors you'll still be buying ten, so it suits a building-wide reinforcement pass better than a one-off repair.
8) What is the difference between a Don-Jo AST-21342 security strike and a Trimco 1260P pipe adapter strike?
They mount to different things. The Don-Jo AST-21342 is a commercial 18-inch ferrous strike plate, 1-3/4 inches wide, drilled with two latch holes so it serves locksets on either 3-5/8 inch or 4 inch centers. It is fastened to a conventional door frame or jamb. The Trimco 1260P is a pipe adapter strike, supplied as the strike only, and its purpose is to adapt a strike to pipe rather than to a flat jamb face. On a standard hollow metal or wood frame with a centered lockset, the AST-21342 is the applicable part; the 1260P is for the pipe mounting condition its adapter design is built around.
9) If a job needs tamper resistant fasteners at the strike, does the Don-Jo AST-21342 cover that?
The AST-21342 is specified by its plate: 13-gauge (.095) ferrous material, 18 inches tall by 1-3/4 inches wide, with the double hole pattern covering 3-5/8 inch and 4 inch lockset centers, in BP brass plated, SL silver coated, or WH white coated. Its security value comes from the heavy-gauge plate spreading force across the frame. Where the specification calls specifically for tamper resistant fasteners at the strike, the Detex 92 Strike Kit is supplied with tamper resistant fasteners, though it is a double door strike kit in the Detex 90 Strike Series rather than a frame reinforcement plate. Match the part to which requirement is actually driving the opening.
10) What finishes does the Don-Jo AST-21342 come in?
Three: BP brass plated, SL silver coated, and WH white coated. BP and SL are the usual picks against aluminum or bronze frames; WH matches painted white hollow metal, which is most multi-family and school frames. All three are the same 18 x 1-3/4 inch plate underneath.
11) Is the AST-21342 a residential strike or is it rated for commercial door frames?
Commercial. Don-Jo builds this one for office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouse, multi-tenant residential, and government work, which is why it's 13 gauge rather than the thin stamped plate you'd find on a house door.
12) Which model number do I give my supplier for the Don-Jo 18 inch double hole security strike?
Don-Jo AST-21342, listed by Don-Jo as model AST 21342. Add the finish code you want, BP, SL, or WH.

    Simple and Effective

    Posted by Isabella on Sep 7th 2023

    The Don-Jo AST-21342 from Zensupply is a no-frills strike plate that gets the job done. I like its sturdiness and easy installation. However, it lacks fancy finishes, so it's not the most stylish option. But if you're after security, it's a winner.
