Don-Jo EL-202-DU – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is an extended lip strike like the Don-Jo EL-202 used for?
An extended lip strike is what you install when the standard strike's lip is too short to bridge the gap between the jamb face and the door stop, and the latch drags on the frame instead of riding cleanly into the pocket. The EL-202 is a commercial extended lip strike measuring 2-3/4 x 2 inches, where the 2 inch width is measured from the center of the screw hole to the end of the lip. That lip reach is the whole point of the part: on a jamb with a deep reveal or a frame that has been shimmed out, the longer lip carries the latch bolt across the gap. If your latch is already seating fine and you only need a wear plate on the jamb, a standard strike is the part to buy, not this one.
2) How far does the lip on the Don-Jo EL-202 strike reach past the screw hole?
Two inches, measured from the center of the screw hole to the end of the lip, on a strike that is 2-3/4 inches in the other direction. That is the number that decides whether this part solves your problem: measure from where the strike screws land on the jamb out to where the latch needs to be picked up. If that distance is under 2 inches, the EL-202 lip covers it. If your reveal is deeper than that, this strike will not reach and you need a longer-lip strike.
3) Will the Don-Jo EL-202 strike work with a deadbolt as well as a latch?
The EL-202 has a single latch hole, so it takes one bolt, not two. It is cut for a standard latch bolt on a commercial door. If you have a lockset with a latch and a separate deadbolt entering the same jamb area, you need either two separate strikes or a two-hole strike, not this one.
4) Do I need a strike for a pair of doors or a pipe frame instead of a standard lip strike?
Those are different parts. The EL-202 is a single-hole extended lip strike for a conventional jamb. For a double door where the strike mounts to the inactive leaf, look at the Detex 92 Strike Kit, a double door strike kit that comes with tamper resistant fasteners. For a round pipe or tube frame, where a flat strike will not sit down on the surface, the Trimco 1260P is a pipe adapter strike. Both are solving a frame problem the EL-202 does not address.
5) Is the Don-Jo EL-202 extended lip strike the right strike for a pair of doors with no fixed mullion?
No. The EL-202 is an extended lip strike, 2-3/4 inches high by 2 inches wide, with a single latch hole, made from 13 gauge (.095) ferrous material -- it mounts to a frame jamb and captures one latch bolt. A pair of doors without a mullion has no jamb at the meeting stile to receive it. For that opening, the Detex 92 Strike Kit is built for double door applications and comes with tamper resistant fasteners, as part of the Detex 90 Strike Series. Use the EL-202 on single door openings and on the hinge-jamb-side leaf where a frame is present.
6) Can a Trimco 1260P be swapped in where a Don-Jo EL-202 extended lip strike is installed?
They are not interchangeable. The Trimco 1260P is a pipe adapter strike, supplied as the strike only, from the Trimco 1260 Series -- it is made to land on a pipe or round post rather than a flat frame jamb. The Don-Jo EL-202 is a flat extended lip strike, 2-3/4 inches high and 2 inches wide with the width taken from the center of the screw hole to the end of the lip, with a single latch hole for a standard latch bolt. If the frame is conventional flat stock, the EL-202 is the strike; the 1260P is the answer only when the latch has to strike a pipe.
7) How thick is the metal on the Don-Jo EL-202 door strike?
13 gauge, .095 inch, in ferrous material. On a high-traffic opening, an office corridor, a school, a hospital wing, that thickness is what keeps the strike from deforming around the latch pocket after a few hundred thousand cycles and letting the door rattle. A thin residential-weight strike in the same opening will dish out around the hole and lose the latch engagement.
8) Do I have to buy the Don-Jo EL-202 strike in a multipack?
The EL-202 ships in shelf packs of 10. For a property manager or a maintenance shop that is standardizing strikes across a building, that works in your favour, one pack covers ten openings with the same lip reach and the same finish. If you need a single strike for one door, you are still buying the pack of 10.
9) Can I use the Don-Jo EL-202 to replace a strike someone kicked in or bent?
That is one of the common uses. The EL-202 is a 13-gauge (.095) ferrous strike, heavier stock than the light plates that come packed with many locksets, so it is a reasonable step up when the original deformed. Two things have to line up: your existing screw holes have to fall within the 2-3/4 inch length of the plate so you are not drilling fresh holes in a chewed-up jamb, and the latch hole has to land where your latch already sits. The EL-202 has one latch hole, so it swaps for a single-latch strike, not a strike serving both a latch and a deadbolt.
10) Which strike should a facility standardize on for single commercial door openings across a portfolio?
The Don-Jo EL-202 is the commercial-grade choice for repeat single-door work: 13 gauge (.095) ferrous construction, 2-3/4 inches by 2 inches, one latch hole, and finish options in BP brass plated, DU duronodic brown coated, and SL silver coated so one part number covers several hardware schemes. The Detex 92 Strike Kit is a double door strike kit and the Trimco 1260P is a pipe adapter strike, so both are situational rather than a portfolio standard. Stock the EL-202 for the ordinary openings and order the other two against the specific conditions they address.
11) What strike holds up where the hardware is exposed to tampering or abuse?
The Don-Jo EL-202 is 13 gauge (.095) ferrous material, a heavy gauge intended for high-traffic commercial door applications, and it fastens with conventional screws. Where the concern is the fasteners themselves being backed out, the Detex 92 Strike Kit ships with tamper resistant fasteners as part of the Detex 90 Strike Series, though it is configured for double door openings. Match the choice to the opening first: single door frames take the EL-202, and the tamper resistant fastener option comes with the double door kit.
12) What finishes does the Don-Jo EL-202 extended lip strike come in?
Three: BP brass plated, DU duronodic brown coated, and SL silver coated. Pick to match the lockset and hinges on the opening rather than the frame paint, since the strike sits right beside the latch where it is seen. DU is the one that disappears against dark bronze aluminum entrances; SL matches satin chrome and brushed stainless trim.
13) Is the Don-Jo EL-202 a commercial strike or a residential one?
Commercial. The EL-202 is built in 13-gauge ferrous material for commercial door applications, office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential, and government facilities. It is not a light residential entry strike.
