4.  Position the strike against the door frame and align it with 

the mounting screw holes. Trace the outline of the strike.

5.  Remove material from within the strike outline so that the 

strike will be flush with the door frame.

6.  For ASM, install the dust box (optional for wood door 

frames, required for metal door frames), and check the 

strike handing on the template. For ASM and ESM install 

the strike using the screws provided. Use wood screws for 

wood frames and machined screws for steel frames.

CAUTION

WARNING

IMPORTANT

When strike is installed on wood frames under one inch thick, 

wood screws supplied are not adequate. use screws of effi-

cient length to engage the structural stud behind the frame. 

Use only the strike and dust box supplied. Use of non-ap-

proved parts may void the warranty.

1.  Align the paper template on the door frame at the desired 

handle height (

), and along the vertical center line of 

the mortise (CL), which is also the center line of the door 

edge, allowing for any bumpers on the door frame. 

CAUTION

WARNING

IMPORTANT

Respect applicable building codes regarding handle height.

Note that the centerline of an ESM mortise does  NOT pass 

through the screw holes on the strike.

(CL)

2.  Mark the locations of the dust box cutout and mounting 

screws for the strike.

3.  Create the dust box pocket and chisel out the strike contour 

in the door frame, and drill the pilot holes for the mounting 

screws (dimensions and depths marked on template).
