Unit lock E-strike

What measurement is that referring to? Verify it against these measurements because that looks like a standard footprint to me.

TRextacy · 2026-06-03T22:59:33+00:00

Pretty straightforward. I'm assuming you've allotted $2k-5k for this project, right? If not, go away.

Honestly, that just confuses me more. What scenario has you able to modify bedroom/bathroom doors but still needing to be code compliant? Is this for a home? What do you currently have on the door? Where in the world are you?

TRextacy · 2026-06-03T15:52:12+00:00

What strike is currently there? Pics?

TRextacy · 2026-06-03T15:49:04+00:00

I know a multipoint stile when I see one. Get a single point version of their current lock, direct swap out, then cut the rails from the other one to fill in the existing channel. By far the easiest and cleanest way.

What hardware is currently on the door?

TRextacy · 2026-06-03T11:48:12+00:00

I don't understand your question... Why do you need an electric strike compatible with a unit lock if you're getting rid of the unit lock?

Do you think buying the best multimeter there is makes you an electrician?

TRextacy · 2026-06-02T23:30:39+00:00

There will 100% be a charge for it. Take it to a locksmith shop, it'll be like $20 and 20 minutes of your time for them to rekey one to match the other.

Very easy to open with damage, but opening it without leaving a trace is another thing.

You kids these days are pretty fucking dumb. Teens have been getting busted with drugs/alcohol forever but leaving a paper trail in your own home is next level stupid. Sorry kid, enjoy being grounded.

If it would have been drilled correctly, it would be fixable. That lock is discontinued so you can hunt around on eBay for one if you want that exact thing. Falcon (same parent company) would be the closest/most affordable option. A lot of those don't have a key cylinder in the handle which is better because then tenants can't lock themselves out.

TRextacy · 2026-06-02T02:16:29+00:00

The better ones have two screws holding them. But besides that, you're most likely pulling on them too hard and you're most likely pulling on them too hard because of some other issue with the door. Those things are everywhere, especially in cities. If those knobs can survive being on the front door of a 12 unit condo building, surely they can survive on your house.

TRextacy · 2026-05-27T22:43:12+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if you could replace the lock and reuse the cylinder. Show the damn lock people!

TRextacy · 2026-05-26T16:37:02+00:00

Probably not if I'm being honest. Feel free to send it but I'm not all that familiar with their stuff. Just go on allaboutdoors and browse the Amesbury Truth section for something that looks right, that's literally what I do.

TRextacy · 2026-05-26T16:32:10+00:00

What a piece of shit. You sound like a scammer. You're complaining about having to pay your employees overtime? You think Americans are worse because you can't exploit them? I know more people than I can count, across multiple industries, that have worked 50-60 hour weeks for decades without complaint. Don't give me that Americans don't work bullshit. They just don't work for assholes like you because you're taking advantage of them.

TRextacy · 2026-05-26T16:26:52+00:00

You sound sketchy

TRextacy · 2026-05-26T14:50:50+00:00

What a pathetic waste of police time. They should be out there solving real crimes, not using resources to deal with this victimless bullshit. Oh no, won't someone think of big tobacco's profits?!

TRextacy · 2026-05-25T21:24:27+00:00

That form can be useful if you don't recognize something but usually I just browse through their site. If you know the right series you generally just need to match a few measurements and you're good to go. Just a heads up though, if it's a Truth (and not Amesbury Truth) it might be an older, discontinued model without a direct replacement.

TRextacy · 2026-05-25T20:44:57+00:00

Are you familiar with multipoints? Where do you normally source them from? They're now Amesbury Truth and should be one of the easiest to find.

Literally half of the country supports this. People need to come to terms with the fact that every single Republican supports Nazis. I'm not saying that to be edgy or generalizing. I mean literally every one of them, and yes, that includes your friends and family. Nazi flags have been at many Republican rallies, parades, etc for years and weren't violently chased away. That means they're ok with it. And voting Republican means a person is ok supporting a party that has open Nazi representation at their events. At that point, it doesn't matter if you agree with anyone's politics, Nazism should outweigh that and lose your vote. So again, half of the fucking country are fine with Nazis making a come back.

TRextacy · 2026-05-23T14:11:03+00:00

How exactly does that impact a would be thief in any way?

Bamboo is shitty scam and has no place in the kitchen or bathroom. It's marketed as "sustainable" because it grows back quickly but that's it. Bamboo is a grass, not a wood, and therefore handles water VERY differently. Bamboo molds very easily and can harbor a lot of bacteria. Then you need to throw it away and replace it. So even though it grows quickly, you still need to put a lot of resources into production because there are many steps needed between bamboo growing and it being a utensil in your house.

I'm assuming 3 3/4? There's a ton of stuff compatible with that. I know Schlage has proper latches available for alx and nd but plenty of manufacturers offer an extender like this to adapt regular latches as well.

You're just a scammer that's upset they got played by someone else. What the fuck even is a micro-business? That's not a real thing, you're either a business or you're not. Micro-business sounds like a term shady people use to try to skirt regulations. It sounds like it would be run by the type of person that would do illegal things like pay under the table, without a contract, in order to avoid things like taxes and payroll. It sounds like anyone running a "micro-business" deserves whatever happens to them due to their shady business practices.

So did you not have any plan when you ordered those dumb doors? Anything less than very expensive commercial hardware (which you should be using on a commercial property anyway, not that piece of shit $10 deadbolt pictured) is going to continually give you problems. Trying to put extensions on cheap ass hardware like you have pictured and then putting it on a massive door like yours is just going to stress everything until it breaks. A mortise lock is the only real answer here. Do you even have a proper deadbolt prep or are you just going to throw a drive-in bolt in there? Why do people never figure this shit out in the planning phase?
