Don-Jo EH-161-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Don-Jo EH-161 fit a standard ASA strike prep in a hollow metal frame?
The EH-161 is a full-size ASA strike at 4-7/8 by 1-1/4 inches, which is the standard ASA lip-to-lip footprint cut into commercial hollow metal frames. If the existing frame is prepped for a 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 ASA strike, the EH-161 drops into that same cutout and screw pattern. It will not work in a frame prepped for the shorter 2-3/4 inch T-strike used with cylindrical residential locksets.
2) What does the extended height latch hole on the Don-Jo EH-161 actually solve?
Frames and doors rarely line up perfectly after years of service, and a standard strike gives you no vertical play in the latch opening. The EH-161's latch hole is taller than standard, so a latch sitting slightly high or low relative to the original prep still enters cleanly. That is the fix for a door that has sagged, a frame that has been reset, or a replacement lockset whose latch centerline sits off from the old one, without having to weld and re-prep the frame.
3) Can I use the EH-161 strike on a pair of doors with no mullion?
No. The EH-161 is a single ASA frame strike, so it mounts in the jamb or in a mullion and catches one latch. For a pair of doors where the inactive leaf has to receive the active leaf's latch, you need a double-door strike kit such as the Detex 92 Strike Kit, which is built for double door applications and ships with tamper resistant fasteners.
4) Will a Don-Jo EH-161 ASA strike work on a pair of doors, or is a double-door strike needed?
The Don-Jo EH-161 is an ASA strike measuring 4-7/8 inches high by 1-1/4 inches wide in 13-gauge (.095) ferrous material, with an extended height latch hole that absorbs variation in latch and height location. That geometry is the standard ASA prep in a frame jamb, which is what a single door leaf latches into. A pair of doors where the latch engages the inactive leaf rather than the jamb is a different strike condition, and the Detex 92 Strike Kit is a double door strike kit supplied with tamper resistant fasteners. Confirm whether the opening latches into the frame or into a second leaf before ordering, because the two are not interchangeable preps.
5) What strike do I use when the door latches against a round post or pipe instead of a flat frame?
An ASA strike like the Don-Jo EH-161 mounts to a flat jamb face at 4-7/8 inches by 1-1/4 inches, so it needs a flat surface to sit against and a standard ASA cutout behind it. When the latch lands on a pipe or round post there is no flat face to receive it, and the Trimco 1260P is a pipe adapter strike, supplied as the strike only. Measure the post before choosing: a flat jamb takes the ASA plate, a round section takes the pipe adapter.
6) Is 13-gauge strike plate heavy enough for a high traffic commercial entry?
13-gauge (.095) ferrous steel is the weight used on commercial ASA strikes, and it is what the EH-161 is made from. That thickness resists the deflection and lip peel that thin residential strikes suffer under constant latching in school corridors, hospital wings, and multi-tenant entries. The material is ferrous, so it is magnetic and can be identified with a magnet if you are matching what is already in the frame.
7) What finishes does the Don-Jo EH-161 ASA strike come in, and which one matches my existing hardware?
Three finishes: 622 matte black, 630 satin stainless steel, and DU duronodic brown coating. 630 is the one to order if the rest of the openings carry satin stainless levers and exit devices, which is the most common commercial standard. DU pairs with dark bronze anodized aluminum storefront and older bronze-tone hardware, and 622 matches flat black hardware suites.
8) Is the Don-Jo EH-161 a strike plate only, or does it include a strike box?
The EH-161 is the strike plate itself, the flat ASA face with the latch opening that screws to the frame. It is not a boxed unit and does not include a dust box behind it. If the frame has an open throat with no existing box, order a separate ASA strike box or use the frame's factory pocket.
9) What's the difference between a Don-Jo EH-161 ASA strike and a Trimco pipe adapter strike?
They solve different openings. The EH-161 is a conventional 4-7/8 by 1-1/4 inch ASA strike that mounts into a standard frame prep. The Trimco 1260P is a pipe adapter strike from the 1260 Series, intended for round pipe or tubular jamb conditions rather than a flat ASA prep. If your latch is meeting a flat hollow metal jamb, the ASA strike is the correct part.
10) Can I use the EH-161 in a residential or light commercial door?
The EH-161 is built for commercial openings and cut to the ASA size, so it fits a residential door only if that door's frame has a commercial ASA prep, which most homes do not. A typical residential wood jamb is mortised for a much smaller latch plate, and installing the EH-161 there means routing the jamb 4-7/8 inches tall. On a commercial lockset in a metal frame it is the right part.
11) For a high-abuse opening where fasteners get attacked, is there a strike option with security fasteners?
The Don-Jo EH-161 is a commercial 13-gauge (.095) ferrous ASA strike, so the plate itself is heavy-gauge material sized to the standard 4-7/8 by 1-1/4 ASA prep, in DU, 622 and 630 finishes. If the concern is the fasteners rather than the plate, the Detex 92 Strike Kit ships as a double door strike kit with tamper resistant fasteners. That kit is a double door application, so it is an option only where the opening is actually a pair; on a single door in a frame prep, the ASA plate is the matching part.
12) How is the EH-161 packaged if I'm buying strikes for a whole building?
The EH-161 ships in shelf packs of 30. That suits a facilities crew standardizing strikes across a floor or a contractor working a run of openings, since one pack covers thirty doors in a single finish. Finish is chosen per pack, so a building mixing 630 stainless on the corridors and DU on the exterior needs a pack of each.
