Don-jo ETS1253 T Strike Extended Lip Bright Brass

Product Description

The DON-JO ETS1253 is a T strike plate designed for use with mortise and cylindrical locksets requiring a 2-3/4 inch backset. It features a 2-1/2 inch extended lip that provides added door edge protection and ensures positive latch engagement across a range of door frame conditions. The strike is finished in bright brass, making it suitable for installations where finish matching with lever sets, knobs, or other door hardware is required. Licensed locksmiths, door hardware installers, and general contractors typically install this component during new construction or hardware replacement projects.

This T strike is suited for residential and light commercial door applications where standard square-corner or radius-corner strike plates are not appropriate for the frame preparation. The extended lip design accommodates misaligned frames or doors with slight warp, keeping the latch captured reliably. It installs into a standard strike pocket routed into the door jamb and is sold individually, with a case quantity of 10 units available for contractors stocking hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed locksmiths, door hardware technicians, or qualified carpenters. Before installing or replacing the strike, ensure the door is held open and the latch mechanism is disengaged. The strike mortise in the door jamb should be cleaned of paint or debris before seating the new plate. Fasten with appropriately sized screws into solid wood blocking or a metal door frame to ensure secure retention of the latch bolt.
