5.6.3 Hollow Aluminum Door (Deep Recess Top)
For mounting of the strike assembly into doors with deep recessed surfaces as shown in Figure
9, no cutout for the strike assembly is required. Remove and invert the end brackets to increase
the height range of the strike bracket assembly. The strike will mount staged from the bottom
of the door recess by using the frame only.

5.6.4 Hard Core Wood Door
Prepare the door in accordance with Section 5.4.2.
For mounting into hard core (solid) wood doors the strike assembly may be mounted with or
without the end brackets attached. The door cutout requires a mortise area for the strike base
assembly with sizes that are dependent on whether the end brackets are used or not (see
template). The depth requirements are illustrated in Figures 10 and 11. If the installation
does not require use of the end brackets (as shown in Figure 10), the installer must be
accurate on the depth of the cutout.
enough room for the strike to be adjusted down any lower and the door operation may be
hindered. If the cutout is too deep, shimming may be necessary to adjust the idle bracket
height in the installation). When the end brackets are used, the cutout area requires a minimum
depth (shown in Figure 11) and because of the adjustability in the end brackets, cutting the
recess too deep will not affect the installation.
