Don-Jo BFD-2 Lipless Deadlock Strike | 4-7/8" High-Security ASA Strike

The Don-Jo BFD-2 Lipless Deadlock Strike is a specialized high-security hardware component designed for precise door frame transitions. This 4-7/8" lipless strike is specifically engineered for applications where a cylindrical lock is being converted to a deadbolt. Unlike standard strikes that feature a curved lip to lead a spring latch into the frame, this flat deadlock strike provides a flush, clean interface for a deadbolt throw, ensuring the bolt engages securely without the unnecessary protrusion of a traditional lip.

Measuring 4-7/8" x 1-1/4", the BFD-2 adheres to standard ANSI ASA cutout specifications. It is a vital solution for door hardware conversion in commercial and residential settings where a clean, architectural finish and maximum kick-in resistance are required.

Key Features & Performance

• Specialized Lipless Design: Eliminates the curved "lip" found on latch strikes, providing a streamlined profile that is ideal for deadbolts and prevents snagging on clothing or equipment.
• ASA Standard Sizing: The 4-7/8" height ensures a perfect "drop-in" fit for standard commercial frame preparations, making it an easy upgrade for hollow metal or wood jambs.
  
• Superior Security Reinforcement: Packaged with four wood screws, allowing for deep anchoring into the structural wall studs. This four-point mounting system significantly increases the frame's resistance to forced entry.
  
• Professional Silver Lacquer Finish: Features a durable silver lacquer (SL) finish, providing a modern, metallic look that resists corrosion and matches satin chrome or aluminum hardware.
  
• Smooth Deadbolt Operation: The precision-cut opening is optimized for standard deadbolt throws, ensuring the bolt centers perfectly for a rattle-free, secure closure.
