    Parts List

    • 1x Door strike, 1x Mounting plate, 1x Mounting template
    • 2x Mounting tabs, 2x Wood screws, 4x Machine screws
    • 2x Machine screws (narrow), 2x Black anchor nuts, 1x Manual

    Installation

    1. Measure the latch line: Measure the distance between the face of the door jamb and the face of the door latch (this is the vertical latch distance), then measure that same distance on the door jamb from its face and draw a vertical line — this is the latch line.
    2. Measure the center line: Measure from the floor to the center of the door latch (ignoring the deadlatch pin), then measure the same distance along the inside of the door jamb — this is the center line.
    3. Align the included mounting template to the latch and center lines.
    4. Using the template as a guide, cut into the door jamb to a depth of 3/4" (19mm). For wooden doors, use a chisel to knock out a 1/8" (3mm) deep cut as shown on the template.
    5. Using two of the included narrow machine screws and black clips, affix the mounting tabs to the inside of the door jamb.
    6. Adjust the keeper to the correct position (see Keeper Adjustment below).
    7. Connect the two wires from the access control/egress device (keypad, push-button switch, push-bar, etc.) to the door strike terminals. Polarity is not important.
    8. Conceal all wires in the door frame. Use two of the included machine screws to mount the unit to the mounting tabs, adjusting as needed so the door closes smoothly.

    Keeper Adjustment

    The keeper can be adjusted horizontally to account for various installation anomalies:

    1. Loosen the two keeper adjustment screws.
    2. Move the keeper horizontally to the desired position.
    3. Retighten the two keeper adjustment screws.

    Optional Accessories

    • Installation Jig — SD-995JA-11Q
    • Stainless Steel ANSI Faceplate — SD-995RE-21Q

    Troubleshooting

    Symptom Fix
    Electric strike does not activate Remove the strike and check that the wires are connected properly. Use a multimeter to confirm proper voltage/amperage — heavier gauge wire or a higher-output power supply may be needed. Confirm the activation device (keypad or pushbutton) is working properly.
    Door does not open when the strike is activated Check that the door latch is operating properly and replace if necessary. The strike position may need adjustment (move it or add washers/shims).
