Don-Jo DEST-158 Extended Lip Dimple ASA Strike – Satin Stainless, Dark Bronze & Flat Black

Don-Jo Manufacturing makes the DEST-158, an extended lip dimple ASA strike engineered for commercial hollow-metal and wood door frames that require a longer-than-standard lip to cover a stepped or rabbeted jamb. The dimple profile allows the strike to seat flush against angled or misaligned jamb faces, keeping the latch bolt from dragging and reducing callback calls for binding doors. At 1-5/8" wide × 4-7/8" tall — with the 1-5/8" measurement taken from the center of the screw hole to the end of the lip — the DEST-158 drops directly into a standard ASA strike prep without additional mortising. A note on gauge: Don-Jo's product page currently lists this strike at 18 ga. (.050"); however, the 2026 Don-Jo Strike-Plates catalog specifies 13 ga. (.095") for the DEST series. These two sources conflict; specifiers should confirm gauge with Don-Jo prior to submittal. The DEST-158 is offered in three finishes to match common commercial hardware schedules: 630 satin stainless steel (US32D), Duranodic dark bronze (Don-Jo DU), and 622 / US19 flat black. Sold in a shelf pack of 10, this ASA strike ships non-stock direct from Don-Jo.

DEST-158 Extended Lip Dimple ASA Strike – Key Features

• Extended Lip Profile: The 1-5/8" lip (measured from screw-hole center to lip end) bridges stepped or rabbeted jambs, providing clean latch-bolt engagement on doors where a standard short-lip ASA strike would leave a gap.
• Dimple Design: The dimpled strike face accommodates minor jamb-face angles and out-of-plane conditions, allowing the latch to retract and seat smoothly without edge-binding or drag.
• ASA Strike Footprint: Matches the industry-standard ASA mortise pattern — no additional routing or special prep required on properly templated frames.
• Heavy-Gauge Construction (Per Catalog): The 2026 Don-Jo Strike-Plates catalog rates the DEST series at 13 ga. (.095"); note that the manufacturer's online product page currently lists 18 ga. (.050") — verify with Don-Jo at time of order.
• Three Commercial Finishes: Available in 630 satin stainless steel (US32D), Duranodic dark bronze (DU), and 622 / US19 flat black — covering the most common commercial hollow-metal and aluminum-frame specifications.
• Convenient Pack Quantity: Sold 10 per shelf pack, keeping job-site or shop inventory efficient for multi-opening projects.
