Don-Jo DEST-175 Extended Lip Dimple ASA Strike – Satin Stainless, Dark Bronze & Flat Black

Don-Jo Manufacturing's DEST-175 is an extended lip dimple ASA strike engineered for hollow-metal and wood door frames where additional lip length is needed to clear deep stop moldings or offset jambs. The strike measures 1-3/4" wide × 4-7/8" tall, with the lip dimension measured from the center of the screw hole to the end of the lip — the critical spec that determines frame clearance. The pressed dimple pocket in the face of the strike seats the latch bolt cleanly and reduces rattle, making this a preferred replacement or new-construction extended lip strike for commercial and light-institutional openings. Don-Jo's 2026 Strike-Plates catalog lists the DEST series at 13 ga. (.095"); note that the Don-Jo product page currently prints 18 ga. (.050") — the heavier 13-gauge figure from the catalog is the authoritative specification. The DEST-175 is available in three finishes on this listing: 630 satin stainless steel (US32D), Duranodic dark bronze (Don-Jo DU), and 622 / US19 flat black — select your finish at time of order.

DEST-175 Extended Lip Dimple Strike — Key Features

• Extended Lip for Deep Stops: 1-3/4" lip (center of screw hole to lip end) bridges frame offsets and heavy stop moldings that a standard ASA strike cannot clear.
• Dimple Design: Pressed dimple pocket in the strike face captures and seats the latch bolt without requiring a separate latch cup, reducing bolt rattle and improving alignment.
• ASA Strike Format: Dimensioned to the standard ASA strike footprint for straightforward frame prep and compatibility with common cylindrical and mortise locksets on commercial openings.
• Catalog-Confirmed Heavy Gauge: Per Don-Jo's 2026 Strike-Plates catalog, the DEST series is manufactured at 13 ga. (.095") — a more robust specification than the 18 ga. figure currently shown on the manufacturer's product page.
• Three Commercial Finishes: 630 satin stainless steel (US32D), Duranodic dark bronze (Don-Jo DU), and 622 / US19 flat black — specify finish when ordering to match existing hardware.
• Sold in Shelf Packs of 10: Packaged in quantities of 10, suited for contractor and distributor stocking on multi-door projects.
