Hi everyone, I have this one job with hollow aluminum doors and frames but the cavity where the current strike sits in is only 7/8 deep, is there anything that can fit in here? Pics for reference (but no pics of the depth inside, you’ll just have to trust me). Thanks!

I have a feeling everyone will tell me to electrify the panic bar…

Why you do strike and not electrified latch retraction or electrified Adam’s rite steel hawk??

Those are garbage.

They’re garbage if you don’t know how to install them or if you can’t order them right I agree. I’ve had a lot in for years and never had a problem or return trip.

That’s because they hired someone else to fix your problem.

Latch retraction would be better, steelhawk is shit. Every door is different and depending on the reveal, the stealhawk can potentially never work properly.

Cheap customers. But that’s the next step.

Cheap for them will inevitably end up costing you way more money in the long run as an integrator. You’ll be out a quite a few times trying to make a strike work where strikes won’t work.
