Don-Jo TS-100-CP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a Don-Jo TS-100 thimble strike and where does it go on the door?
The TS-100 is a small strike component, 1 inch by 1 inch, with a single latch hole. It gives the latchbolt a defined engagement point in a commercial door assembly rather than letting the bolt land on bare frame or wood. It is a strike part, not a lock and not a full ANSI strike plate, so it is ordered alongside the latch hardware it serves.
2) Will a 1 inch square thimble strike cover a standard ANSI strike cutout?
No. At 1 inch by 1 inch with one latch hole, the TS-100 covers only the bolt opening itself. A standard ANSI 4-7/8 inch strike prep is far larger, so this will not fill or hide that cutout. Use it where the frame is being drilled fresh for a single bolt, and order a full-size strike plate if you are replacing hardware in an existing ANSI prep.
3) Can a Detex 92 strike kit be used in place of a Don-Jo TS-100 thimble strike?
No - they solve different problems. The Don-Jo TS-100 is a thimble strike, a compact 1 inch by 1 inch ferrous part that gives a latch a single, precise engagement hole. The Detex 92 Strike Kit is a double door strike kit from the 90 Strike Series supplied with tamper resistant fasteners, intended for the double door application it is built around. If you are prepping a single latch point and need a small thimble, the TS-100 is the part; if you are strike-kitting a pair of doors, the Detex 92 kit is the one to look at.
4) What should I use instead of a Don-Jo TS-100 thimble strike when the latch lands on a pipe or tubular frame?
Look at the Trimco 1260P, a pipe adapter strike from the 1260 Series supplied as the strike only. It is built to adapt a strike to a pipe, which the Don-Jo TS-100 does not do - the TS-100 is a flat 1 inch by 1 inch ferrous thimble strike with a single latch hole for standard commercial door assemblies. Match the part to what the latch is actually striking against.
5) Is the Don-Jo TS-100 strike steel, and will it hold up in a high traffic entry?
Ferrous construction, so it is a steel-based part with a plated finish over it. That matters at the latch, since the bolt strikes the same edge every cycle and a soft part deforms. The plating is a coating rather than solid brass or chrome through the body, so on an exterior opening expect the finish to wear at the contact point before the strike itself does.
6) How many Don-Jo TS-100 thimble strikes come in a pack?
The TS-100 ships in shelf packs of 20. For a property manager or a locksmith carrying stock that is convenient, since one pack covers a floor of doors. If you need a single strike for one opening you are still buying the pack of 20, so plan the order around the count.
7) Do I need a strike box or dust box behind the TS-100?
The TS-100 is the strike itself with a single latch hole, not a strike-and-box assembly. In a hollow metal frame the bolt pocket behind it is the frame cavity; in wood you are drilling the pocket. If your spec calls for an enclosed box behind the bolt, that is a separate part from this one.
8) What is the difference between a Don-Jo thimble strike and a Trimco pipe adapter strike?
Different jobs. The Don-Jo TS-100 is a 1 inch square thimble strike with one latch hole, for a bolt landing in a frame or door edge. The Trimco 1260P from the 1260 Series is a pipe adapter strike, sold as strike only, for openings where the bolt engages a pipe or tube rather than flat frame. Pick by what the bolt is landing in.
9) Does ordering a Trimco 1260P get me the mounting hardware, or just the strike?
The Trimco 1260P pipe adapter strike is supplied as the strike only, so plan the fasteners and any adapter parts as separate line items on the job. That is a different buy from the Detex 92 Strike Kit, which comes as a double door kit with tamper resistant fasteners included. The Don-Jo TS-100 thimble strike is a single 1 inch by 1 inch ferrous component and ships in shelf packs of 20, so it stocks by the pack rather than by the kit.
10) What finishes does the Don-Jo TS-100 come in?
Two: BP brass plated and CP chrome plated. Brass plated reads warm against bronze and brass lever trim; chrome plated matches satin and polished chrome or the general look of stainless hardware. Since the strike sits in the frame beside the latch, match it to the lockset trim on the same opening rather than to the frame paint.
11) Can I use the TS-100 on a residential door?
It is a commercial-rated part, so it will physically work on a residential door but it is built for commercial-duty use. Where a property manager is standardizing across apartment or multi-tenant openings, the same strike works throughout, which is the practical reason to run one part across the building.
