Don-Jo EL-175-630-RC – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Don-Jo EL-175-RC strike fit a radius corner door frame prep?
Yes. The EL-175-RC is the radius corner version of Don-Jo's extended lip strike, so it drops into a frame prep with rounded corners rather than square ones. If the existing strike cutout in your frame has square corners, this one will leave a visible gap at the corners and you want the square corner version instead. Check the corners of the strike you are pulling out before ordering.
2) What size is the Don-Jo EL-175-RC strike, and how is the 1-3/4 inch measured?
The strike is 2-1/4 inches in height by 1-3/4 inches in width, and that width is measured from the center of the screw hole to the end of the lip, not across the whole plate. That distinction matters on the job: the lip projection past the screw line is what determines how far the strike reaches toward the door face, so measure your existing strike the same way before you match it.
3) What does an extended lip strike do that a standard strike does not?
The extended lip reaches further out from the frame so the latch has more engagement depth and captures reliably on openings where the door sits back from the frame face or the gap has grown. On a door that latches inconsistently, or one with a deep reveal or wood trim the latch has to clear, the longer lip is what closes that distance. A standard-lip strike on the same opening can let the latch skate past the ramp instead of dropping into the pocket.
4) Does the EL-175-RC work with a deadbolt as well as the latch?
No. The EL-175-RC has a single latch hole, so it serves one bolt only. If you have a lockset with a separate deadbolt above the latch, you need a second strike for the deadbolt or a T-strike that carries both openings. Ordering this one for a double-bolt opening leaves you short a part on site.
5) I need a strike for a pair of doors with no mullion, will this one work?
No. The EL-175-RC is a frame-mounted strike for a single latch on a standard opening, so it needs a jamb or mullion to fasten to. For a double door with no center post, look at the Detex 92 Strike Kit, which is a double door strike kit from the 90 Strike Series and includes tamper resistant fasteners. That is the different animal you want there.
6) What strike should be used when the latch lands on a pipe or tube frame instead of a standard prepped door frame?
That is the case for the Trimco 1260P, a pipe adapter strike from the Trimco 1260 Series, supplied as the strike only. It is intended to adapt a strike to a pipe frame condition. The Don-Jo EL-175-RC extended lip strike is the other situation: it is a 2-1/4" x 1-3/4" 18-gauge steel strike with a radius corner, sized to a standard radius corner frame preparation, with the 1-3/4" width taken from the center of the screw hole to the end of the lip so the lip carries the latch across the gap. Match the strike to the frame you actually have -- a radius corner frame prep takes the EL-175-RC, a pipe frame takes the 1260P adapter.
7) Is the Don-Jo EL-175-RC heavy enough for a high traffic commercial door?
It is formed from 18 gauge (.050) steel and is a commercial-rated part, which is the gauge you want on an opening that cycles constantly, a stairwell, a classroom, a corridor door in a hospital or a multi-tenant entry. Thinner residential strikes deform at the lip over time on that kind of traffic; 18 gauge holds the ramp shape.
8) What finishes does the Don-Jo EL-175-RC extended lip strike come in?
Eight finishes: 605 polished brass, 609 antique brass, 619 satin nickel, 620 antique nickel, 622 matte black, 629 bright stainless, 630 satin stainless, and DU duronodic brown coated. For a building standardizing on one look, 630 satin stainless is the usual commercial match to satin chrome lever trim, and 605 pairs with polished brass hardware. Pick the code off your existing lockset rather than by eye, since 619 and 630 read very similarly once installed.
9) Can I use the EL-175-RC to replace an ANSI strike or a strike on a pipe rail?
Not for pipe. The EL-175-RC is a flat frame strike at 2-1/4 by 1-3/4 inches, meant for a conventional hollow metal or wood jamb prep with radius corners. If the latch is engaging a round pipe post or rail, the Trimco 1260P Pipe Adapter Strike from the 1260 Series is the part built for that condition. And if your existing cutout is the tall ANSI 4-7/8 inch strike, this shorter 2-1/4 inch plate will not cover it.
10) Is the Detex 92 strike kit a substitute for a Don-Jo EL-175-RC extended lip strike?
No, they solve different problems. The Don-Jo EL-175-RC is an extended lip strike, a 2-1/4" x 1-3/4" 18-gauge (.050) steel frame strike with a radius corner and a single latch hole, made to catch a standard latchbolt in a prepped door frame. The Detex 92 Strike Kit is a double door strike kit supplied with tamper resistant fasteners and belongs to the Detex 90 Strike Series, so it is specified for a pair of doors rather than to replace a single lipped latch strike in a frame. If you are replacing a worn or misaligned lip strike on a single opening, the EL-175-RC is the direct-fit part; the Detex 92 kit does not drop into that same prep.
11) How many Don-Jo EL-175-RC strikes come in a pack?
They ship in shelf packs of 10, which is the practical unit if you are stocking a truck, a maintenance crib, or doing a floor of openings at once. For a single door repair you are still buying the ten.
12) Do I need to order the strike handed for a left or right hand door?
Handing is not a separate order option on the EL-175-RC. It comes in finish only, eight of them, and the lip runs to one side of the plate by geometry, so you orient it to the swing at install rather than specifying it up front.
13) For a commercial opening, when do you pick a plain lipped strike over a strike kit with tamper resistant fasteners?
Look at whether the strike itself is a security target. The Don-Jo EL-175-RC is a commercial extended lip strike in 18-gauge (.050) steel with a radius corner and one latch hole, fastened conventionally into the frame prep, and it comes in DU, 605, 609, 619, 620, 622, 629 and 630 so it can be matched to the rest of the hardware on the opening. The Detex 92 Strike Kit is furnished with tamper resistant fasteners and is a double door strike kit in the Detex 90 Strike Series, which is the choice when the fastener heads are exposed on a pair of doors and need to resist removal. Standard single-door frame replacement goes to the EL-175-RC; a fastener-attack concern on a double door points to the Detex 92 kit.
