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

1) My door is bowed and the latch keeps binding on the strike. Will the Don-Jo EW-161 fix that?
That is exactly what the EW-161 is built for. It's an ASA strike with an extended width latch hole, so the latchbolt still finds the opening when a door is bowed or when the latch and strike are binding against each other. Standard ASA strikes give you a tighter hole, which is where a bowed door starts to miss. The plate itself is standard 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inch ASA sizing, so it drops into the same frame cutout you already have.
2) Will a Don-Jo EW-161 strike drop into my existing ASA frame prep without new cutting?
It measures 4-7/8 by 1-1/4 inches, which is the standard ASA strike size, so it goes into an existing ASA frame prep as a straight replacement. If your current strike is a T-strike or a smaller full-lip strike, the frame prep is different and this one will not line up without work.
3) I have a pair of doors with no mullion. Is the EW-161 the right strike?
No. The EW-161 mounts to a frame jamb and takes a latch from a single door. A pair of doors without a mullion latches into the inactive leaf, which needs a strike made for that condition, for example the Detex 92 Strike Kit from the 90 Strike Series, supplied for double door use with tamper resistant fasteners. Use the EW-161 on the single openings and the double door kit on the pairs.
4) Is the Detex 92 strike kit a substitute for a Don-Jo EW-161 ASA strike?
No. The Don-Jo EW-161 is an ASA strike, 4-7/8 inches high by 1-1/4 inches wide in 13-gauge (.095) ferrous material, with an extended width latch hole for bowed doors or binding at the latch. The Detex 92 Strike Kit is a double door strike kit supplied with tamper resistant fasteners and belongs to the Detex 90 Strike Series. If the frame is prepped for a standard ASA lip strike behind a cylindrical or mortise latch, the EW-161 is the part that drops into that prep; the Detex kit addresses a double door application and is ordered as a kit, not as a single ASA lip strike.
5) Is the EW-161 strike heavy enough for a high traffic commercial entry?
It's 13-gauge (.095) ferrous stock, which is a commercial-weight plate rather than a thin residential stamping, and Don-Jo rates the EW-161 for commercial use. Ferrous means steel, so it takes a coated or plated finish rather than being solid brass or stainless bar stock.
6) What finishes does the Don-Jo EW-161 ASA strike come in?
Three: 622 matte black, 630 satin stainless steel, and DU duronodic brown coated. 630 is the one that matches most modern commercial lever and lock hardware; DU is the dark bronze tone used on older aluminum storefront and bronze-anodized frames; 622 matte black pairs with black hardware packages. Pick the one that matches the lockset on the door, not the frame paint, since the strike lip sits in the buyer's line of sight beside the latch.
7) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand version of the EW-161 strike?
No handing to specify. The EW-161 is an ASA strike plate with a symmetrical 4-7/8 by 1-1/4 inch body, so one part serves left and right hand doors. The only choice on the order is finish: 622 matte black, 630 satin stainless, or DU duronodic brown.
8) Does the Don-Jo EW-161 work with a standard commercial cylindrical latch?
Yes. ASA is the common strike format for commercial cylindrical and mortise latches, and the EW-161 uses that format, so it accepts the latchbolts on typical commercial locksets. The widened latch hole gives the bolt more room to enter than a standard ASA strike, which helps on an opening where the door and frame have drifted out of alignment.
9) What is the difference between a Trimco 1260P pipe adapter strike and a Don-Jo EW-161?
They solve different openings. The Trimco 1260P is a pipe adapter strike in the Trimco 1260 Series and is supplied as a strike only. The Don-Jo EW-161 is a flat ASA strike in ferrous material, 4-7/8 inches by 1-1/4 inches, 13-gauge (.095), with an extended width latch hole intended for bowed doors or binding conditions at the latch and strike. For a conventional hollow metal or wood frame with an ASA cutout, the EW-161 is the matching strike; the 1260P is chosen when the latch has to land on a pipe or tube condition rather than a standard frame face.
10) A pair of doors is binding at the latch and the strike keeps missing. Which strike handles that, the Don-Jo EW-161 or the Detex 92 kit?
The Don-Jo EW-161 is the one built for that symptom on a single leaf: its extended width latch hole is designed to accommodate bowed doors or binding in the latch and strike location, so the latch still engages when the leaf is not sitting square to the frame. It is a commercial ASA strike in 13-gauge (.095) ferrous material and comes in DU Duronodic brown coated, 622 matte black, and 630 satin stainless steel to match surrounding hardware. The Detex 92 Strike Kit is a double door strike kit with tamper resistant fasteners from the 90 Strike Series, so it is specified by the double door application it serves rather than by latch alignment on an individual leaf.
11) Can I standardize the EW-161 across a whole building of commercial doors?
That's the usual way it's bought. Because it uses the standard ASA size, one part number covers every opening in the building already prepped for ASA, and the same strike handles the doors that have gone out of true without a separate part for those. Don-Jo ships it in shelf packs of 30, which suits a facility or contractor stocking it by the box rather than by the door.
