Abstract
A surface mounted electric strike for selectively retaining a door latch of a door is provided. A strike housing defines a cavity and is mounted to a door frame surface. A keeper is mounted within the housing and rotatable between a latched position and an unlatched position. The keeper includes a keeper stop face that is disposed at an angle relative to a keeper face to limit the rotation of the keeper about the axis of rotation between about 45-60 degrees when the keeper moves between latched and unlatched positions. An actuating assembly is configured for moving between a first mode and a second mode, wherein when the actuating assembly is in the first mode the keeper is prevented from moving toward the unlatched position, and wherein when the actuating assembly is in the second mode the keeper is permitted to move toward the unlatched position.
