Don-Jo DBS-2478-SL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Don-Jo DBS-2478 fit a standard ASA frame prep?
Yes. The DBS-2478 is an ASA strike measuring 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inches, which is the standard ASA face size cut into commercial hollow metal frames. If your frame is already prepped for an ASA (T-strike) lip, this drops into that cutout without new frame work.
2) Is the Detex 92 strike kit an equivalent replacement for a Don-Jo DBS-2478 deadbolt strike?
No - they solve different openings. The Don-Jo DBS-2478 is an ASA strike for a deadbolt, 4-7/8 inches by 1-1/4 inches with a single latch hole, punched from 13 gauge (.095) ferrous steel to drop into a standard ASA frame prep. The Detex 92 Strike Kit is a double door strike kit from the Detex 90 Strike Series and ships with tamper resistant fasteners, so it belongs on a pair of doors where the strike mounts to the inactive leaf rather than to a frame with an ASA cutout. If the frame is already prepped 4-7/8 by 1-1/4, the DBS-2478 is the part that fits it; a double door application with no frame strike prep is what sends you to the 92 kit instead.
3) What strike do I use when the deadbolt throws into a pipe or tube frame instead of a hollow metal frame?
The Trimco 1260P from the 1260 Series is a pipe adapter strike, sold as the strike only, and it is the part made for a bolt landing in round pipe or tube rather than a flat frame face. The Don-Jo DBS-2478 is the flat-face answer: an ASA deadbolt strike at 4-7/8 inches by 1-1/4 inches in 13 gauge ferrous steel, sized to a standard ASA frame prep on a commercial hollow metal or wood frame. Measure the frame member before you order - a flat 1-1/4 inch strike face has nothing to seat against on a pipe section, and the 1260P adapter has nothing to add on a frame already cut for ASA.
4) How heavy is the steel on the Don-Jo DBS-2478 deadbolt strike?
13 gauge ferrous steel, .095 inch thick. That is a heavy commercial plate rather than the thin stamped strike that ships with many locksets, which is what you want where the deadbolt takes abuse: apartment entries, back-of-house doors, tenant suites. The ferrous substrate also means it is magnetic, so it takes a weld or a machine screw into the frame the same way the original does.
5) What finishes does the Don-Jo DBS-2478 come in, and how do I match my existing hardware?
Three: BP brass plated, DU duronodic brown coated, and SL silver coated. Match to the lock trim, not the frame paint. Brass plated goes with bright and satin brass lock fronts, duronodic with dark bronze or oil-rubbed hardware, silver with satin chrome or aluminum. On a frame-painted opening the strike often ends up field painted anyway, in which case any of the three works as a base.
6) I need to standardize deadbolt strikes across a whole building. Does the DBS-2478 come in bulk?
It is packed in shelf packs of 30, which is the right unit for a facility standardizing openings or a locksmith keeping a truck stock. Because it is a standard ASA profile in one size, a single finish covers every opening in the building that is already ASA prepped, so you are not tracking multiple part numbers per door type.
7) Can I use the Don-Jo DBS-2478 on a wood door frame?
It will mount to a wood jamb, but understand what you are getting. The 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inch ASA face is a full-size commercial profile, so on a wood jamb it needs to be routed in flush rather than dropped into an existing residential strike mortise, which is typically a smaller square-corner plate. Also plan on long screws into the stud behind the jamb; a 13 gauge plate is only as strong as what it is fastened to.
8) Does the DBS-2478 include a strike box or dust box?
The DBS-2478 is the strike plate itself. On a hollow metal frame the cavity behind the prep usually serves as the pocket, but if your opening needs an enclosed box behind the deadbolt, order that separately. On a wood jamb, a dust box behind the bolt hole is worth adding so the bolt does not bottom out on debris.
9) What else could I use if the DBS-2478 is not the right strike for my opening?
Two other directions ZenSupply carries. For a pair of doors where you are strikíng into the inactive leaf rather than a frame, the Detex 92 Strike Kit is a double door strike kit from the 90 Strike Series and comes with tamper resistant fasteners. For an aluminum storefront style application, the Trimco 1260P is a pipe adapter strike sold as the strike only. Neither is an ASA deadbolt strike, so they are alternatives for a different opening, not substitutes on an ASA prepped hollow metal frame.
10) Which of these strikes gives me tamper resistant fasteners for a high-abuse door?
The Detex 92 Strike Kit ships with tamper resistant fasteners as part of the kit, which is the reason to reach for it on a double door where the strike hardware is exposed and reachable. The Don-Jo DBS-2478 takes a different approach to abuse: it is a one-piece ferrous steel ASA strike at 13 gauge (.095), a heavy plate whose strength is in the material behind the bolt pocket, and it is specified for commercial door assemblies. On a standard single opening with an ASA-prepped frame, the DBS-2478 is the strike that fits the cutout; a double door assembly where you also want fastener security is where the 92 kit earns its place.
11) Is the Don-Jo DBS-2478 handed? Do I need to order left or right?
No handing to specify. The DBS-2478 is offered by finish only, in BP, DU, and SL, with no left or right variant, because an ASA deadbolt strike is a symmetrical plate with the bolt hole on the centerline. Order the finish and it works on either jamb.
12) I need a strike for a latch as well as a deadbolt - is the DBS-2478 the one?
The Don-Jo DBS-2478 is built with a single latch hole for a deadbolt application, so one bolt is what it accepts. Neither the Detex 92 Strike Kit, a double door kit in the 90 Strike Series, nor the Trimco 1260P pipe adapter strike is an ASA-profile replacement for it. For an opening with both a latch and a deadbolt, look to a strike with the matching hole count rather than trying to make the 4-7/8 by 1-1/4 single-hole DBS-2478 serve both.
