99 Surface Strike

The Detex 99 Strike is the standard surface-mounted strike used with many Detex rim exit-device configurations.

Unlike the Detex 98 half-mortise strike, the 99 mounts directly to the frame surface and does not require the same mortised strike pocket.

Detex specifies that the 99 strike is attached with three mounting screws and shimmed as needed to align correctly with the exit-device latch.

Kit Components

Detex identifies the primary components of the 100855-2 kit as:

100234-1

99 Non-Roller Strike

The primary surface-mounted strike that engages the exit-device latchbolt.

100088

Strike Shim

Used as needed to establish proper strike-to-latch alignment.

Mounting Hardware

Detex supplies additional mounting screws with the kit to accommodate varying compatible door and frame construction.

Installation & Adjustment

Proper strike alignment is critical to reliable exit-device operation.

Detex's maintenance instructions recommend:

1. Mounting and positioning the strike.

2. Adding the required shim where necessary.

3. Testing latch engagement.

4. Adjusting the strike until the latch operates smoothly.

5. Installing the center mounting screw after final adjustment to secure the strike position.

The strike should allow the latchbolt to engage fully without excessive rubbing or binding.

Compatible Detex Hardware

Detex currently specifies the 100855-2 for compatible:

• Advantex 10 Series Rim Exit Devices

• Advantex 40 Series Rim Exit Devices

• Value Series V40 Rim Exit Devices

Compatibility should always be verified against the specific exit-device model and frame configuration before ordering.
