Von Duprin 970321 Shim 299 Strike
The Von Duprin 970321 Strike Shim is a premium, commercial-grade hardware solution designed to ensure the flawless operation of your exit and panic devices. Engineered specifically for use with the industry-standard Von Duprin 299 roller strikes (as well as Falcon FA299 strikes), this precision-cut metal plate is used to decrease spacing between the strike and the latch bolt.
Over time, door misalignment, settling, or heavy traffic can cause structural gaps that compromise door security and latching reliability. The 970321 shim resolves these alignment issues instantly without requiring expensive door modifications or complete hardware replacements. Built to meet rigorous ANSI Grade 1 standards, it offers a cost-effective, long-lasting fix that keeps high-traffic commercial exit doors secure, code-compliant, and operating smoothly.
