For 44 Series Rim Exit Devices | Double Door Application | Active / Inactive Door Pairs

Convert a compatible paired-door opening for rim exit-device operation with the Liberty 44 Series Double Door Strike, designed for commercial double-door applications using a rim exit device on the active leaf.

The strike mounts to the face of the inactive door, creating the latching point required for the rim exit device installed on the active door.

This configuration provides a straightforward solution for commercial paired openings where a traditional frame-mounted rim strike cannot be used because the active door closes against another door leaf.

Double Door Application

On a standard single-door opening, a rim exit device typically latches into a strike mounted directly to the frame.

On a pair of doors, the active leaf may close against the inactive leaf instead of a fixed frame surface.

The Liberty 44 Series Double Door Strike solves this by mounting to the face of the inactive door, giving the rim latch on the active door a secure engagement point.

How It Works

A typical paired-door setup includes:

Active Door

• Liberty 44 Series Rim Exit Device

• Rim latch engages the double-door strike

Inactive Door

• Liberty 44 Series Double Door Strike

• Strike mounts to the face of the door

When the active leaf closes, the rim latch engages the strike mounted on the inactive leaf.

Designed for Rim Exit Devices

This strike is intended for compatible rim exit-device applications.

It is not a replacement for:

• Standard frame-mounted rim strikes

• Surface vertical rod strikes

• Concealed vertical rod hardware

• Mullions

• Automatic flush bolts

Always verify the existing exit-device configuration before ordering.

Active & Inactive Door Configuration

Active Leaf

The active door is the leaf normally used for everyday entry and egress.

The compatible Liberty 44 Series rim exit device mounts to this door.

Inactive Leaf

The inactive door remains secured during normal use and provides the mounting surface for the double-door strike.

The active leaf's rim latch engages this strike when the doors are closed.

Double Door Strike vs. Mullion

A double-door strike provides a latching point directly on the inactive leaf.

A removable or fixed mullion creates a vertical frame member between the doors so each door can use a conventional rim strike.

The correct solution depends on the opening design, required door operation, fire rating, and applicable code requirements.

Replacement Applications

Use the Liberty 44 Series Double Door Strike when the existing strike is:

• Broken

• Bent

• Missing

• Excessively worn

• No longer properly engaging the rim latch

• Being added during a double-door rim exit-device conversion

Inspect the inactive door, active-door latch, door alignment, and mounting preparation before replacement.

Installation Notes

Before ordering, verify:

• Liberty 44 Series rim exit-device compatibility

• Active / inactive door configuration

• Door thickness

• Door alignment

• Existing mounting preparation

• Rim latch location

• Required strike location

• Fire-rating requirements

Proper alignment between the rim latch and double-door strike is critical for reliable latching.

Fire Door Note

For a fire-rated paired opening, use a double-door strike specifically listed and approved for the fire exit hardware application.

Do not assume a standard double-door strike is suitable for a labeled fire-door assembly.

The complete door, frame, exit device, strike, and installation must maintain the required fire-door listing.
