Don-Jo SMEST-102 Extended Lip Mortise Strike – Schlage Prep, 13 Ga. Non-Ferrous, Three Finish Options

The Don-Jo SMEST-102 is an extended lip mortise strike engineered to accept the mortise latch bolt on doors prepped for Schlage mortise locksets. Don-Jo Manufacturing produces this ASA-pattern mortise strike from 13 ga. (.095) non-ferrous material, giving the plate the rigidity commercial and institutional openings demand without adding unnecessary mass. The overall face measures 2" wide × 4-7/8" tall, and the critical 2" lip dimension is measured from the center of the mounting screw hole to the end of the lip — the specification detail that determines whether the plate seats correctly in a Schlage-mortise-prepped frame pocket. Two latch holes accommodate the deadlatch and latchbolt combination standard to mortise hardware. For projects requiring a finish match to the rest of the hardware package, the SMEST-102 is available in 630 satin stainless steel (US32D), Don-Jo DU Duranodic dark bronze, and 622 / US19 flat black.

SMEST-102 Extended Lip Mortise Strike – Key Features

• Extended Lip Mortise Strike Format: ASA-pattern face with a 2" lip (screw center to lip end) fits frame pockets cut for Schlage mortise lockset preps — a direct compatibility replacement without frame modification.
• 13 Ga. (.095) Non-Ferrous Construction: Heavier gauge non-ferrous material provides the structural integrity required in commercial doors while resisting corrosion in demanding environments.
• Two Latch Holes: Dual cutouts accept both the latchbolt and deadlatch simultaneously, maintaining proper engagement geometry for Schlage mortise hardware.
• 2" × 4-7/8" Face: Standard ASA mortise strike footprint seats flush in a correctly prepped frame, keeping the installation clean and code-compliant.
• Three Stocking Finishes: Choose 630 satin stainless (US32D) for a contemporary look, DU Duranodic dark bronze for anodized architectural bronze coordination, or 622 / US19 flat black for black-finished hardware suites.
• Shelf Pack of 5: Packaged in quantities of five — practical for multi-opening projects or contractor stock orders.
