Don-Jo MEST-102-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Don-Jo MEST-102 strike fit a standard ASA frame prep?
Yes. The MEST-102 is an ASA strike measuring 4-7/8 x 2 inches, which is the standard ASA (T-strike) face size commercial hollow metal frames are prepped for. Note how Don-Jo takes the 2 inch width: from the center of the screw hole to the end of the lip, not across the full face. So if your frame already has an ASA cutout with the two screw holes on 3-15/16 inch centers, this drops in. The lip is the extended version, so it projects further past the frame face than a standard-lip ASA strike.
2) When do I need an extended lip strike instead of a standard ASA strike?
You need the extended lip when the door is set back from the frame face, most often on a door with applied trim, a thick stop, or a frame installed in a deep reveal. The lip has to reach out far enough that the latch bolt rides up it and retracts cleanly instead of slamming into the edge of the lip. The MEST-102 uses that extended profile to pick up the latch across a wider range of door and frame alignments. If your latch already engages fine and the door sits flush with the frame face, a standard lip ASA strike is the simpler part and the lip will not stick out into the opening.
3) How many latch holes does the MEST-102 have, and will it work with a deadbolt too?
One latch hole. That makes the MEST-102 a latch-only strike, so it suits a cylindrical or mortise latch bolt on its own. If your opening has a separate deadbolt above the latch, or a mortise lock throwing both a latch and a deadbolt into the same frame cutout, you need a two-hole ASA strike or a separate deadbolt strike instead. Check the frame before you order: a single-hole strike over a two-throw prep leaves the deadbolt with nowhere to go.
4) I have a pair of doors with no mullion. Will an ASA strike like the MEST-102 work?
No. An ASA strike mounts in the frame jamb, so it needs a jamb or a mullion to screw into. On a pair of doors where the active leaf latches into the inactive leaf, or on a double door with a rim exit device, you want a strike built for that condition instead, such as the Detex 92 Strike Kit for double doors, which comes with tamper resistant fasteners. Use the MEST-102 on single doors and on the active leaf where it strikes a fixed jamb or mullion.
5) Is the Detex 92 strike kit a substitute for the Don-Jo MEST-102 extended lip ASA strike?
They solve different openings. The Don-Jo MEST-102 is an extended lip ASA strike, 4-7/8" x 2", 13-gauge non-ferrous, with a single latch hole, so it drops into a standard ASA frame prep on a single door and catches a latch bolt. The Detex 92 Strike Kit is part of the 90 Strike Series and is built for a double door application with tamper resistant fasteners. If the opening is a pair of doors and the concern is fastener tampering, the Detex 92 kit is the one to look at; if the frame is already prepped ASA and the goal is a lip that reaches a misaligned latch, the MEST-102 is the right part.
6) What is the difference between the Trimco 1260P pipe adapter strike and the Don-Jo MEST-102?
The Trimco 1260P is a pipe adapter strike from the Trimco 1260 Series, sold as a strike only, and is intended for a pipe or tube frame rather than a conventional hollow metal jamb. The Don-Jo MEST-102 is a 4-7/8" x 2" extended lip ASA strike in 13-gauge non-ferrous material with a single latch hole, matching the standard ASA frame cutout. A locksmith facing a round tube or pipe jamb needs the 1260P adapter geometry; a flat frame already cut for ASA takes the MEST-102.
7) Is the Don-Jo MEST-102 strike magnetic, and will it rust in a wet or coastal opening?
Non-ferrous, so it is not magnetic and it does not rust the way a plated steel strike does. That matters on exterior openings, pool and locker rooms, coastal buildings, and wash-down areas where a steel strike blooms rust around the screw heads. The body is 13-gauge (.095) material, so you are not trading thickness for the corrosion resistance.
8) What finishes does the Don-Jo MEST-102 ASA strike come in?
Three: 622 matte black, 630 satin stainless steel, and DU duronodic brown coated. For a facility standardizing hardware, 630 is the one that matches the satin stainless levers and exit devices already on most commercial openings. DU is the match for dark bronze aluminum storefront and anodized entrances, and 622 pairs with matte black lever sets and modern black hardware packages.
9) Is the MEST-102 heavy enough for a high-traffic commercial door, or is it a residential strike?
It is a commercial part. The body is 13-gauge (.095) material, which is roughly three times the thickness of the light stamped strikes that come in residential knob sets, and it is specified for commercial use. That gauge is what keeps the lip from bending back after a few thousand cycles of a latch riding across it on a school corridor or a tenant entry.
10) Can I use the MEST-102 on a round post or pipe mullion?
No. The MEST-102 has a flat ASA face meant for a flat frame jamb, and it will not sit correctly against a round pipe. For that condition, the Trimco 1260P Pipe Adapter Strike from the 1260 Series is the strike built to adapt to a pipe.
11) Will the extended lip on the MEST-102 stick out into the door opening and catch people?
It will project further past the frame face than a standard lip, which is the whole point of the part. Before you order, look at which way the door swings and how far the latch has to travel. On an out-swinging door in a corridor, a long lip can end up in the traffic path. On an in-swinging door with the stop hiding it, the extension sits behind the door and nobody touches it. The extended profile exists to catch the latch when the door is set back from the frame face, so if your latch already engages, the standard lip is the cleaner install.
12) For a commercial door with a corrosion concern, does the Don-Jo MEST-102 or the Detex 92 strike kit fit better?
The Don-Jo MEST-102 is built from non-ferrous material in a 13-gauge (.095) body and is designated for commercial use, which is what gives it corrosion resistance in high-traffic openings; it comes in 622 matte black, 630 satin stainless steel, and DU duronodic brown coated. The Detex 92 Strike Kit is a 90 Strike Series double door kit supplied with tamper resistant fasteners, so it is selected for the pair-of-doors condition and the fastener security rather than for a substrate choice. On a single commercial door where the frame is ASA prepped and moisture is the issue, the MEST-102 non-ferrous body is the part that speaks to it.
13) Do I have to buy the MEST-102 strike in a multi-pack?
The MEST-102 ships in shelf packs of 5. For a property manager or MRO stockroom that is convenient, since strikes get replaced one opening at a time and a pack of five covers a floor. Order in multiples of the pack if you are re-striking a run of doors.
