Kwikset KWI-83437 Square Corner Full Lip Strike

Yes. The 83437 square corner full lip strike is made to work with all Kwikset knobs or levers, so if the lockset on the door is Kwikset you can swap the strike without changing the latch. It's a residential-duty part, so it belongs on apartment and house doors rather than a commercial opening.

The 83437 measures 2-1/4 inches by 1-3/4 inches, which is the standard full lip strike footprint on Kwikset residential jambs. If the old strike was the same 2-1/4 x 1-3/4 plate, it drops into the existing mortise and screw holes. A smaller plate, like a 2-3/4 x 1-1/4 deadbolt strike, leaves a different cutout, so measure the pocket in the jamb before you pull the old one.

Probably not. The 83437 is a residential-rated strike sized for Kwikset residential knob and lever latches. For a commercial frame, look at an ASA strike instead, such as the Codelocks ASA strike plate in stainless steel, which uses the standard commercial ASA cutout that commercial hollow metal frames are prepped for.

The Emtek 83223 is the nearest match in form. It is a standard deadbolt strike plate with square corners, the same corner profile and the same deadbolt strike function as the Kwikset 83437 square corner full lip strike. If the existing mortise in the jamb was cut for a square corner plate, the Emtek 83223 drops into the same prep without recutting the corners. The Kwikset plate measures 2-1/4 inch length by 1-3/4 inch width in steel and ships with two 3/4 inch strike screws.

The Deltana SP2753 deadbolt strike plate measures 2-3/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch in steel, so it covers about a half inch more jamb height than the 2-1/4 inch by 1-3/4 inch Kwikset 83437 square corner full lip strike, on a narrower face. That extra length is useful when the old prep or a previous strike left the jamb scarred above or below the bolt pocket. Check the jamb rabbet width first - the Deltana face is narrower, so a wider existing mortise will show at the edges.

No. The Codelocks ASA strike plate is an ASA-format strike in a stainless steel finish, which is the larger commercial strike prep, not the residential square corner full lip pattern the Kwikset 83437 uses. Dropping an ASA strike into a jamb prepped for the 83437 means enlarging the mortise substantially. Match the Codelocks ASA plate to an opening already cut for ASA; use the Kwikset square corner full lip strike where a Kwikset knob or lever set is on the door.

No, two 3/4 inch strike screws ship with the plate. Those are short screws that bite the jamb only, not the framing behind it. On an entry door where security matters, plan on longer screws into the stud; the supplied 3/4 inch hardware is for mounting the plate, not for reinforcing the opening.

Both are deadbolt strike plates, but they differ in what they tell you. The Emtek 83223 is specified by corner profile - standard deadbolt strike plate with square corners - which is what matters when you are matching an existing square cut mortise. The Deltana SP2753 is specified by size, 2-3/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch in steel, which is what matters when you are fitting a jamb of a known height and rabbet width. For a jamb already cut for the Kwikset 83437 square corner full lip strike at 2-1/4 inch by 1-3/4 inch, the square corner profile is the governing dimension.

The Kwikset 83437 square corner full lip strike is the one to order in volume for that job: it is compatible with all Kwikset knobs or levers, comes in Satin Chrome, Satin Nickel, Bright Brass, Dark Bronze/Black and Antique Nickel so the plates match whatever trim is already on the doors, and each one arrives with its two 3/4 inch mounting screws. The Emtek 83223 standard deadbolt strike plate shares the square corner profile if a few openings carry Emtek trim, and the Deltana SP2753 at 2-3/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch handles jambs where a taller plate is needed.

The Codelocks ASA strike plate is offered in a stainless steel finish, which suits openings where the jamb hardware is stainless throughout. It is an ASA-format plate, so plan the jamb prep around that pattern rather than expecting it to fill a square corner mortise. The Kwikset 83437 square corner full lip strike is a steel plate offered in Satin Chrome, Satin Nickel, Bright Brass, Dark Bronze/Black and Antique Nickel.
