SO FUNNY! I was going to mention this on SML. I have been using the mortise lock, single slot model for a while, which resembles the MARKS mortise ASA plate. The OTHER thing we need is a deadbolt strike, with the cutout ASKEW by 1/8". This would allow mounting two ways to accommodate situations where the bolt is hitting the strike laterally, either +/-... as well as a slightly taller cutout than we find on the Kwikset Heavy duty or Emtek Heavy Duty strike. The GRIZZLY mini lathe/mill they are selling for 1000.00 will allow you to convert many a strike in seconds each, saving 8.00 per strike. ( These elongated strike cutout plates are about 10.00 each
I've used a hinge doctor a couple times. First time it worked perfectly, the second time, (on my own door thankfully) it stripped the hinge screws, so I have to fix that now... Oh well, live and learn! I can see these strike plates being nice unless the door is rubbing on the frame.

Great idea! I love Don-Jo remodeler plates- they are a lifesaver! Thanks Jason!
I remember you doing a video on how you had to manually do this and why... seems manufacturers out there are listening to you needs!
Don’t think I’ll carry these, less than a minute with my 20v cordless die grinder solves any strike issues for me. 👍🏻
true, but I’m thinking quiet office building, classes going on etc
I shouldn't be this excited for an ANSI plate...

Sweet! Thx for sharing👍👍
That sounds like an awesome product…and is one that I know I will save folks a lot of hassle.
Yep, slam locking can be a problem 🤔
Thanks Jason 🌴🗝😎
Neat video.
Cool!
Next, they'll make them with elongated mounting holes.😅
Thanks, Jason!
Lori pulled that one off a long time ago! :)
Nice. Thanks for sharing
great info, great video.
have a great day
looks cool!
already had a chance to use one the other day, relatively quiet office enviro, so grabbed this and it worked a treat :)
