If a customer requires a 4 7/8" mortise lock on a 1 3/8" thick door and frame, what must we advise him?
We cannot prepare the 1 3/8" rabbet of our frame for an ASA strike. He must change the strike that comes with his mortise lock to a standard 2 3/4" T-Strike or change his door thickness to 1 3/4".

If a customer requires a 4 7/8" ASA mortise lock for both doors on a communicating frame, what must we tell him?

What is the purpose of our adjustable strike? How much adjustment does it give?
Our adjustable strike allows you to adjust the latching point of the hardware so the door fits tight against the silencers or the gasket on our frame. If walls are out of plane or the door is warped then the strike can be adjusted up to 1/4" to take up any slack that may occur. Also, as the building is used and settles, our strike allows for periodic adjustment to assure a secure and rattle free opeining.

What must a customer be aware of if he is not using our T-Strike?
The screw holes on the Timely T-Strike emboss are not tapped because we supply self tapping screws with our strikes. When using the hardware manufacturers strike, they usually supply machine screws which will not work. You can use the Timely self tapping screw with the hardware manufacturers strike, or you can tap the holes to accept the machine screws.

What is the actual size of the opening in an ASA strike emboss to accept hardware?
3 3/8"

When closing certain mortise locks, the latch hits the casing before entering the strike. How can you avoid this problem?
By using an extended lip strike.

How many different electric strike preps do we currently have available?
Only one. 4 7/8" emboss, which will except many different electric strikes. Consult factory for dimensions.

If a customer asks that his header be prepped for a flushbolt strike for the inactive door, what preparation do we use and what information do we need?
Timely can provide a universal strike prep and strike plate (TA-40) which will work for a manual, automatic and self latching flushbolt assembly. Or we can prep for a deadbolt or T-Strike which will require the location needed.

Can Timely emboss the 1 3/8" side of the header for our universal flushbolt prep?
No, it was designed for use only on the 1 3/4" side. For the 1 3/8" side we can emboss for a T-Strike. (T-Strike is the same size as a deadbolt)

When we use a storage hasp why does it have two holes?
One of the major problems with owners of storage facilities is failure of the renter to pay his bill. If the bill is unpaid for the storage unit, the owner of the facility puts his own padlock in the storage hasp thus locking out the delinquent renter.
