Don-Jo BS-161-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Don-Jo BS-161 fit an existing ASA strike cutout in a hollow metal frame?
The BS-161 is cut to standard ASA strike sizing, 4-7/8 inches high by 1-1/4 inches wide, so it drops into a frame already prepped for an ASA (ANSI) strike without new cutting. That 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 footprint is the size hollow metal frames are factory-prepped to, which is why the swap is usually a matter of backing out two screws and setting the new plate in. Measure the old plate first: if what comes out is the smaller 2-3/4 inch full-lip strike used on residential bores, this one is the wrong size for that opening.
2) Does the BS-161 blank ASA strike have a second opening for a deadbolt?
No. The BS-161 is built with a single latch hole, so it serves one latchbolt and nothing else. If the lock on the door throws a separate deadbolt above the latch, that opening needs a strike with two cutouts, and this plate will not accept the bolt. For a latch-only lockset, an exit device latch, or any application where the frame prep is ASA and only the latch has to pass, the single hole is all the opening calls for.
3) I need a strike for a pair of doors with no mullion - will the Don-Jo BS-161 work, or do I need something else?
The Don-Jo BS-161 is a blank ASA strike measuring 4-7/8" x 1-1/4" in 13-gauge (.095) steel, made to sit in a standard ASA strike prep in a single door frame, so it is the wrong format for the meeting edge of a door pair. For that opening, Detex builds the 92 Strike Kit, a double door strike kit in the 90 Strike Series that comes with tamper resistant fasteners. Order the BS-161 when the latch throws into a prepped frame jamb, and the Detex 92 kit when the latch has to catch on the inactive leaf of a pair.
4) Can a Trimco 1260P be used in place of a Don-Jo BS-161?
They solve different framing problems. The Don-Jo BS-161 is a blank ASA strike, 4-7/8" x 1-1/4" in 13-gauge (.095) steel, dimensioned to the standard ASA strike format so it drops into a frame already cut for ASA. The Trimco 1260P is a pipe adapter strike from the 1260 Series, supplied as the strike only, and it is built to adapt the latch to a pipe frame rather than to a flat ASA cutout. If the jamb carries a 4-7/8" ASA prep, the BS-161 is the part that matches it; if the latch is landing on pipe, the 1260P is the format to look at.
5) Is a 13 gauge strike heavy enough for a high traffic commercial entry?
13 gauge works out to .095 inch of steel, which is the weight you want behind a latch on a door that gets kicked, carted through, and pulled all day. The BS-161 is a commercial strike, not a residential one, and the thicker plate is what resists deformation when someone leans on the door against the latch. On apartment corridors, school and healthcare openings, and back-of-house doors in retail or warehouse space, a thin stamped strike is normally the first thing to fail at the latch hole; .095 steel is a step up from that.
6) What finishes does the Don-Jo BS-161 come in, and which one matches the rest of my door hardware?
Four finishes, and they cover the standard commercial codes: 605 polished brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 626 satin chrome, and 630 satin stainless steel. Match the strike to the lockset or exit device already on the opening rather than to the frame paint, since the strike sits right next to the latch and any mismatch reads immediately. Buildings standardized on 626 satin chrome, which is the most common commercial finish, order 626 throughout; a stainless door package usually pairs to 630.
7) Can I use a blank ASA strike on a pair of doors with exit devices?
Not for the leaf-to-leaf latching on a pair. The BS-161 is a flat ASA plate that mounts in the frame and takes one latch, so it suits a single door, or the active leaf where the latch throws into the jamb. A double door application where the device latches into the other leaf or into a shared strike needs a purpose-built double door kit, for example the Detex 92 Strike Kit, which is a double door strike supplied with tamper resistant fasteners. Sort out which of the two the opening actually is before ordering, because the parts are not interchangeable.
8) Which strike should I specify if the fasteners need to resist tampering on the secure side?
The Detex 92 Strike Kit is the one that ships with tamper resistant fasteners; it is a double door kit in the 90 Strike Series. The Don-Jo BS-161 approaches forced entry through the plate itself, using 13-gauge (.095) steel in the standard 4-7/8" x 1-1/4" ASA format for strength at the latch pocket. On a single prepped jamb where the ASA format is what the frame accepts, the BS-161 is the strike that fits; where the specification is driving at fastener security across a door pair, the Detex 92 kit is the assembly that addresses it.
9) My hollow metal frame already has a 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch ASA cutout - which strike goes back in without reworking the jamb?
The Don-Jo BS-161 is the one cut to that opening. It is a blank ASA strike at 4-7/8" height and 1-1/4" width in 13-gauge (.095) steel with a single latch hole, conforming to standard ASA strike sizing for straight replacement, and it comes in 605 polished brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 626 satin chrome, and 630 satin stainless steel to match the rest of the trim on the opening. The Detex 92 Strike Kit is a double door strike kit rather than a jamb-mounted ASA plate, and the Trimco 1260P is a pipe adapter strike, so neither one is shaped to fill an existing ASA prep.
10) I need a strike for a round tube or pipe gate frame, will this flat ASA strike work?
A flat plate will not sit properly on round stock. The BS-161 is a flat 4-7/8 by 1-1/4 inch ASA strike meant for a flat jamb face on a hollow metal or wood frame. For pipe and tube framing, the Trimco 1260P is a pipe adapter strike, built for that condition. Gate and fence-line openings are the usual place this comes up.
11) How is the Don-Jo BS-161 packaged if I am standardizing strikes across a building?
The BS-161 comes in a shelf pack of 30, which suits the way this part gets used: a contractor or facility crew rekeying or refitting a floor of openings burns through strikes in quantity, not ones and twos. Order all 30 in the same finish code if the goal is one look across the building, since finish is chosen per pack.
