Don-Jo MEST-158-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size cutout does the Don-Jo MEST-158 ASA strike need in the frame?
The MEST-158 is a standard ASA strike, 4-7/8 inches tall, so it drops into the common 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inch ASA frame prep found on commercial hollow metal frames. The 1-5/8 inch dimension is not the faceplate width, it is measured from the center of the screw hole out to the end of the lip, which is what makes this the extended lip version. If your frame is already prepped for a 4-7/8 inch ASA strike, the prep does not change; the lip simply projects further past the jamb.
2) When do I need an extended lip strike instead of a standard ASA strike?
Extended lip is for openings where the jamb face sits back from the door, so a standard lip would leave the latch striking wood or drywall instead of metal. Common on frames with a deep reveal, applied stops, or a wall condition that pushes the trim past the strike. The MEST-158 gives 1-5/8 inches from the screw hole centerline to the end of the lip, so the latch rides over the gap and drops in cleanly. If your door face and jamb face are flush, a standard lip ASA strike is the correct part and the extended lip will just stick out where someone can catch a hand on it.
3) Is the Don-Jo MEST-158 strike a single latch hole or does it take a deadbolt too?
Single latch hole only. The MEST-158 accepts the latchbolt from a cylindrical or mortise latch, and there is no separate deadbolt cutout in the plate. If you have a mortise lock throwing both a latch and a deadbolt into the same jamb, you need a two-hole ASA strike, not this one.
4) I need a strike for a pair of doors with no mullion. Is the extended lip ASA strike the right part?
No. The MEST-158 latches a single door into a frame jamb, one latch hole, standard ASA height. A pair of doors without a mullion needs a strike made for that condition, such as the Detex 92 Strike Kit from the 90 Strike Series, which is built as a double door kit and comes with tamper resistant fasteners. Use the ASA strike on the active leaf into a jamb, not leaf to leaf.
5) Will a non-ferrous Don-Jo strike hold up on an exterior or coastal door?
Non-ferrous is the reason to pick it. The MEST-158 plate is non-ferrous stock at 13-gauge (.095) thickness, so it will not rust the way a plated steel strike does on an entry that sees weather, pool chemicals, or salt air. The .095 thickness is what keeps the lip from bending when a door gets slammed or the latch drags on it, which is the usual failure on a thin strike in a high traffic opening.
6) Which finish of the Don-Jo MEST-158 matches my existing lever and hinges?
Three finishes: 622 matte black, 630 satin stainless steel, and DU duronodic brown coated. For a building already standardized on satin stainless commercial trim, 630 is the match. 622 goes with matte black lever sets and pulls. DU is the dark bronze anodized look you see on older aluminum storefront and mid-century commercial entries, so it is the one to order when you are matching existing bronze-tone frames rather than replacing them.
7) Can I use the MEST-158 ASA strike on a round pipe or tube post?
It will not sit flat on a curved surface. The MEST-158 is a flat ASA plate for a standard frame jamb. For a latch striking into round tube, the part you want is a pipe adapter strike such as the Trimco 1260P from the 1260 Series, which is shaped for that condition.
8) How many Don-Jo MEST-158 strikes come in a pack?
The MEST-158 ships as a shelf pack of 5 strikes, all the same finish. That works out well for a property manager rekeying or refitting a run of openings, since you are rarely replacing just one strike in a corridor. Order one finish per pack; the finishes are not mixed within a pack.
9) Does the Don-Jo MEST-158 strike come with screws?
Plan on supplying fasteners. The MEST-158 is the strike plate itself, an extended lip ASA plate in non-ferrous material, and no strike box or mounting screw pack is called out with it. On a hollow metal frame you are typically threading into existing tapped holes anyway; on a new prep, pick up machine screws to suit.
10) Is the Don-Jo MEST-158 strike suitable for a high traffic commercial building?
That is what it is built for. Commercial rated, 13-gauge (.095) non-ferrous plate, standard 4-7/8 inch ASA format, so it goes into office corridors, schools, healthcare, retail, and multi-tenant residential without special prep. The heavy gauge matters most where a door gets pulled hundreds of times a day and a thin strike lip starts to deflect.
