Kwikset 85072 - Deadbolt Strike

The 85072 is a deadbolt strike and only receives a bolt thrown from the main lock, so it does nothing on its own for a sidelite. For that opening the Accentra YSSL10 is a security sidelite auxiliary latch with an ADA compliant thumbturn, built for 1-3/4 inch doors and fire rated. Use the YSSL10 on the sidelite and keep the 85072 as the strike on the primary door frame.

Yes, it is classed as commercial door hardware and the strike is stainless steel, which holds up better to repeated bolt contact and to corrosion in exterior openings than a plated steel strike.

That is exactly what this part is for. The 85072 is the deadbolt strike sold on its own, in seven finishes, so you can carry one part number per finish and swap a damaged or mismatched strike on any Kwikset deadbolt opening without buying a full lock. Stainless steel construction keeps the appearance consistent in high traffic corridors.

Backset is a door prep dimension and lives on the deadbolt latch, not on the frame strike. The strike is sized to the bolt face and the frame mortise. If your issue is actually the bolt assembly, an adjustable backset unit such as the Schlage 12-289, which covers 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch, is the type of part you want, since 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 are the two standard residential and commercial backsets.

The 85072 covers the frame side as the deadbolt strike. For the door side, the Schlage Commercial 12-289 is a B500 Series deadbolt with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch face and 1/4 inch round corners, and the Schlage 12-630 is the B600/700/800 Series version with a fixed 2-3/8 inch backset and a square-corner 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch face. Match the bolt to the lock series already in the door, then match the strike finish to the rest of the trim.

The 85072 is a stainless steel deadbolt strike, which is frame hardware rather than a graded latch assembly. When a drawing calls out Grade 1 latching, the Deltana regular latches carry that grade directly: G1RLE238 and G1RLE275 in entry function at 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets, and G1RLP238 and G1RLP275 in passage/privacy at the same backsets. The Dexter C1000 Series deadlatch is a Grade 2 option where the spec allows it.

For storefront and interconnected lock applications, the Schlage 16-480 is an S200 Series deadlatch with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch square-corner face, and the Schlage 16-228 covers the S200 and CS210 Series with the same adjustable backset but a 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch square-corner face. The Dexter C1000 Series deadlatch is a further option. The Kwikset 85072 is strike plate hardware for a deadbolt and does not deadlatch anything.

It is supplied as the deadbolt strike itself in stainless steel. If your concern is kick-in resistance on an exterior unit door, the fix is anchoring into the stud behind the jamb, so verify the screw length that comes with your order before you call the opening done.

A keyless swap changes the whole lock, not just the strike. The Lockey M230 is a mechanical keyless digital combination deadlocking spring latch lock with an adjustable backset, and it fits doors from 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch thick. Going that route retires the deadbolt bolt and its 85072 strike together, since the M230 brings its own latch and frame hardware. Keep the 85072 only if you are staying with a keyed or thumbturn deadbolt.

The 85072 deadbolt strike is offered in seven finishes: Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Satin Chrome, Polished Brass and Antique Brass, so you can bring frame plates in line with whatever trim is already on the doors. The Schlage 12-289 and 12-630 deadbolts are differentiated by lock series and face dimensions instead, the 12-289 for B500 Series with a 1 inch round-corner face and the 12-630 for B600/700/800 Series with a 1-1/8 inch square-corner face, so those are selected by what is in the door rather than by appearance.
