Emtek 93223 Heavy Duty Deadbolt Strike Plate

Deadbolt only. The 93223 is a deadbolt strike, so the opening is sized for a square deadbolt throw and there is no lip or curved deflector to ride a spring latch across. A passage or entry knob latch needs a latch strike with a lip; putting a deadbolt strike behind one will leave the latch catching on the jamb edge.

The 93223 is a fixed plate cut to a Kwikset type jamb prep, so it will not take up a misaligned bolt. For that, the Kwikset 80318 full round adjustable strike lets you move the strike opening to meet the bolt without recutting the mortise. Trade off is appearance: the Emtek plate comes in twelve architectural finishes to match the rest of the door, and the adjustable strike is a functional part.

Twelve finishes: Medium Bronze (MB), Tumbled White Bronze (TWB), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4), and French Antique (US7). Those are Emtek's standard finish codes, so ordering the strike in the same code as the deadbolt rose gives a match across the opening. Unlacquered Brass and French Antique will keep changing with handling; the Lifetime finishes will not.

The 93223 is a residential deadbolt strike. It is the heavy duty version within Emtek's residential line, so it suits a house or an apartment entry, but for a commercial opening under a hardware schedule you want a strike specified with the lockset rather than a residential replacement plate. Property managers replacing strikes across a building of wood jambs are the fit here.

The 93223 is the strike plate itself. If you also want a metal box behind the plate to keep the bolt pocket clean and add depth in the jamb, Kwikset sells that separately as the 81231-001 metal strike dust box and the 81640 strike box. Those are plain steel boxes that sit behind the plate, so they do not need to match your finish.

The Emtek 93223 is the finish-matched option: it is a brass heavy duty deadbolt strike plate offered in 12 finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). The Deltana SP2753 deadbolt strike plate is a steel plate, and the Codelocks ASA strike plate is stainless steel, so those two suit openings where the strike is not a visible design element.

It suits a tubular deadbolt, which is the standard bored deadbolt found in residential wood doors. The strike plate is not a keyed part and has no electronics in it, so nothing about it has to be matched to your key system. Keying is decided by the deadbolt cylinder, not by the strike.
