Don-Jo DEST-115-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Don-Jo DEST-115 fit a standard ASA strike prep in my frame?

The DEST-115 is an ASA-profile strike measuring 4-7/8 inches high, so it drops into the standard ASA (T-strike) frame cutout that most commercial mortise and cylindrical locks are prepped for. If your existing strike is the common 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inch ASA plate, the screw pattern and height match; what changes is the lip, which runs 1-1/2 inches measured from the center of the screw hole to the end of the lip.

2) What does the extended lip on this Don-Jo strike actually do, and when do I need one?

An extended lip pushes the latch guide further out past the frame face so the latch rides up onto the strike instead of catching the jamb edge. You need it when the frame is set back from the door face, when there is heavy trim or a thick applied stop, or on a rabbeted opening where a standard lip would leave the latch dragging. The DEST-115 gives you 1-1/2 inches from the center of the screw hole to the end of the lip. Measure from your existing strike's screw hole centerline to where the latch actually lands: if that distance is under 1-1/2 inches, a standard lip is enough and the extended lip will stick out into the opening.

3) I need a strike for a pair of doors with no mullion, will this Don-Jo ASA strike work?

No. The DEST-115 is a single ASA strike plate that mounts to the frame jamb and catches one latch. A pair of doors without a center mullion has no jamb at the meeting stile, so you need a double-door strike kit instead. The Detex 92 Strike Kit from the 90 Strike Series is made for double door applications and comes with tamper resistant fasteners.

4) Is the Detex 92 strike kit a substitute for a Don-Jo DEST-115 ASA strike?

No, they solve different openings. The Don-Jo DEST-115 is an extended lip dimple ASA strike, a single flat strike plate that mounts in the frame to receive a latch on a standard commercial opening. The Detex 92 Strike Kit is a double door strike kit from the Detex 90 Strike Series, supplied with tamper resistant fasteners and intended for a pair of doors rather than a single frame-mounted ASA prep. If you are replacing a damaged or mismatched strike in an existing ASA cutout on a single door, the DEST-115 is the part that matches that prep; the Detex 92 kit is what you order when the opening is a double door application in that series.

5) What strike should I use instead of a Don-Jo DEST-115 when the latch has to catch on a pipe or round post rather than a door frame?

Use the Trimco 1260P Pipe Adapter Strike from the Trimco 1260 Series. It is a strike-only part built as a pipe adapter, so it addresses an opening where the strike has to sit on round stock instead of a flat frame face. The Don-Jo DEST-115 is an extended lip dimple ASA strike, cut for the flat ASA frame prep found on standard commercial doors, so it is not the part for a pipe mounting condition. Order the 1260P for the pipe application and keep the DEST-115 for conventional ASA-prepped frames.

6) Is 18 gauge steel heavy enough for a strike on a high traffic commercial door?

18 gauge (.050) steel is the normal commercial thickness for a face-mounted ASA strike plate, and that is what the DEST-115 is made from. On a stairwell, classroom, or tenant entry door that cycles all day, the strike itself is not the failure point, the frame reinforcement behind it is. If you are dealing with repeated kick-in attempts rather than traffic wear, a strike plate alone is the wrong fix and you want a reinforced strike box or frame reinforcer behind it.

7) What is the dimple on a dimple ASA strike for?

The dimple is a small raised deflector formed into the lip that catches the latch bolt and guides it into the strike opening as the door swings closed. It matters on doors that have sagged slightly or where the closer is not driving the door fully home, because it corrects minor misalignment instead of letting the latch stall on the lip. The DEST-115 combines that dimple profile with the extended lip, so it is aimed at openings with both an alignment problem and a set-back frame.

8) What finishes does the Don-Jo DEST-115 come in, and which one matches my existing hardware?

Three finishes: 630 satin stainless steel, 622 matte black, and DU duronodic brown coated. 630 is the default on most commercial levers and exit devices, so that is the match if your building is standard brushed stainless. Pick 622 if the openings were done in matte black, and DU if you have the older dark bronze anodized aluminum storefront and entry hardware that duronodic was made to match.

9) Can I use the DEST-115 to standardize the strikes across a whole building?

Yes, and that is the practical case for it. It is one ASA-profile part at 4-7/8 inches in 18 gauge steel, available in three finishes, so a property manager or facilities buyer can carry a single model across office, classroom, patient room, retail, and tenant doors instead of stocking a different strike per opening. The one thing that varies opening to opening is lip length, so verify the doors you are standardizing actually need the 1-1/2 inch extended lip rather than a standard one before you buy the fleet quantity.

10) What is the difference between the Don-Jo DEST-115 and a Trimco 1260P pipe adapter strike?

Different mounting problems. The DEST-115 is a flat ASA plate for a conventional hollow metal frame jamb, 4-7/8 inches in 18 gauge steel. The Trimco 1260P from the 1260 Series is a pipe adapter strike, meant for the situation where there is no flat jamb to screw into and the latch has to catch on round pipe or tube framing. If your frame face is flat, the ASA strike is the part; if you are working against pipe, the flat plate will not seat.

11) I need a commercial door strike for an office building. How do the Don-Jo DEST-115, Detex 92 and Trimco 1260P differ?

They are three different strike situations. The Don-Jo DEST-115 is an extended lip dimple ASA strike for commercial door hardware, the general purpose choice for a single door with a standard ASA frame prep in offices, schools, healthcare, retail and multi-tenant buildings. The Detex 92 Strike Kit is a double door strike kit in the Detex 90 Strike Series and ships with tamper resistant fasteners, so it is specified when the opening is a pair of doors. The Trimco 1260P is a pipe adapter strike in the 1260 Series, supplied as the strike only, for mounting to pipe rather than a conventional frame. Match the part to the opening: single ASA-prepped frame, double door pair, or pipe.

12) Do I get screws with the Don-Jo DEST-115, or do I need to order fasteners separately?

Order the fasteners you need on the side. What the DEST-115 gives you is the strike plate itself, an ASA-profile 18 gauge steel plate with the extended lip and dimple. On a hollow metal frame that is already tapped for the original ASA strike, the existing machine screws usually go straight back in. If you are cutting a new prep or the tapped holes are stripped, plan on tapping the frame or using a strike kit with its own fasteners, like the Detex 92 kit which ships with tamper resistant fasteners.

13) Does the DEST-115 strike have a handing, or does it work on left and right hand doors?

No handing to specify. The DEST-115 is a symmetrical ASA plate, so the same part serves a left hand or right hand opening. What you order is finish only, 622 matte black, 630 satin stainless, or DU duronodic brown coated. Handing on the opening is decided by the lock, not by this strike.
