Don-Jo SMEST-125 Extended Lip Mortise Strike for Schlage Prep – 13 Gauge Non-Ferrous, Satin Stainless, Dark Bronze, or Flat Black

Don-Jo Manufacturing builds the SMEST-125 extended lip mortise strike to fit the standard Schlage mortise lock prep, delivering a heavy-duty 13 gauge (.095) non-ferrous plate sized at 2-1/2" x 4-7/8" with two latch holes. The 2-1/2" lip is measured from the center of the screw hole to the end of the lip, making this plate the right choice when standard-height ASA strike dimensions are required on a mortise-prepped door frame. Three finish options are stocked to spec: 630 satin stainless steel (US32D), Duranodic dark bronze (Don-Jo DU), and 622 flat black (US19). Whether you are replacing a worn mortise strike on an existing Schlage-prepped frame or specifying new hardware for a commercial opening, the SMEST-125 provides a purpose-machined, dimensionally correct extended lip mortise strike solution without field modification.

SMEST-125 Extended Lip Mortise Strike – Key Features

• Extended Lip Geometry: 2-1/2" lip measured from center of screw hole to lip end accommodates mortise lock setbacks without shimming or field cutting.
• Heavy 13 Gauge Construction: .095 non-ferrous material delivers consistent dimensional stability and long-term durability in commercial door frames.
• Schlage Mortise Prep Compatibility: Machined to fit the standard Schlage mortise lock cutout – a direct replacement or new-construction strike for Schlage-prepped frames.
• Two Latch Holes: Dual latch holes accommodate the mortise lock latch and deadbolt throw in a single plate, eliminating the need for separate cutouts.
• 4-7/8" Plate Height: Full ASA-format height covers the strike pocket cleanly on standard commercial frames.
• Three Finish Options: 630 satin stainless steel (US32D), Duranodic dark bronze (Don-Jo DU), and 622 flat black (US19) allow the specifier to match virtually any commercial hardware finish schedule.
