Specification Substitution Notes
When substituting electric strikes, verify the replacement meets all project-specific requirements. Generic "or equal" substitutions may not account for:
- Specific windstorm certifications (ANSI/SDI A250.13)
- State building code approvals (Florida FL#)
- Fire rating requirements
- Mounting hole patterns (may differ between brands)
- Electrical specifications (current draw, pigtail colors)
Always confirm the substitute product carries the specific certifications required by your project. Windstorm and fire ratings are not automatically equivalent across manufacturers. Request current certification documentation from the substitute manufacturer.
