Strikes for Disc and Pin Tumbler Locks, 1-5/16" x 3/8", Bright Brass

Strikes For Disc And Pin Tumbler Locks

Strikes for disc and pin tumbler locks from CompX National give your lock installation a defined latch point, so the lock bolt seats consistently in doors, drawers, or panels using these lock types. The 1-5/16 inch by 3/8 inch size creates a compact strike area that suits small cabinet or furniture applications where space around the lock face is tight. The bright brass finish matches bright brass lock bodies, keeping the strike visually consistent with the lock hardware on the job. As an optional strike for both disc and pin tumbler locks, this part lets you align the lock bolt with a dedicated receiving point instead of relying on a raw edge or improvised catch point that can wear. The C2003-3 designation ties this strike directly to CompX National documentation, helping you call out the exact part when repeating a spec across multiple installations.

Key Details That Support Lock Installations

• The 1-5/16 inch length gives the strike enough run to catch the lock bolt reliably, helping reduce misalignment problems on cabinet doors or drawers over repeated use.
• The 3/8 inch width keeps the strike narrow, so it fits in tight stiles or narrow drawer fronts where larger hardware would crowd adjacent hardware or edges.
• The bright brass finish coordinates with bright brass disc and pin tumbler locks, keeping the lock face and strike visually consistent on exposed cabinetry or casework.
• Being an optional strike for both disc and pin tumbler locks lets you standardize one strike part across different lock mechanisms on the same project.
• Furnished with screws to match the strike means the finish of the fasteners lines up with the bright brass surface, supporting a uniform appearance around the lock area.

Strike Size And Mounting Considerations

The 1-5/16 inch by 3/8 inch strike format gives you a small footprint to work with when laying out disc or pin tumbler locks near face-frame edges or narrow rails. This size lets you position the strike where the lock bolt meets the mating surface while leaving room for adjacent hinges or pulls. Because the strike is designed as an optional component for both disc and pin tumbler locks, its proportions are set to accept the bolt from those lock types, supporting predictable engagement when you drill and mortise to the corresponding lock template. Furnishing the strike with screws to match the strike means the mounting fasteners sit flush in color and finish, which matters when the strike is visible each time the door or drawer is opened.

Using This CompX National Strike In Work

Where This Bright Brass Strike Is Applied

This CompX National strike is specified for both disc and pin tumbler locks, so it fits into projects that mix these two lock mechanisms on the same bank of cabinets, desks, or fixtures. In cabinet or furniture construction, the 1-5/16 inch by 3/8 inch size lets the strike sit on a frame, jamb, or divider panel opposite the lock, creating a clean catch point where the bolt lands. As part of the locks and latches class of hardware, this strike supports installations where a defined strike surface improves how the lock feels when turning the key, particularly on frequently used doors or drawers. The bright brass description and finish allow this strike to visually blend into bright brass lock bodies, which is helpful in retail fixtures or office furniture where exposed hardware is part of the finished look.

Why These Strike Details Help Repeatable Results

The optional strike design for both disc and pin tumbler locks means installers can repeat the same strike layout wherever those lock types appear, simplifying drilling patterns and edge clearances across a run of casework. The C2003-3 manufacturer part number lets shops and field crews call out one consistent strike in cut lists and purchase orders, reducing mix-ups between similar hardware pieces. By using a 1-5/16 inch length, the strike provides a forgiving landing zone for the lock bolt, which helps the lock engage even when cabinet doors or drawers move slightly over time. The 3/8 inch width keeps the strike compact, which matters when aligning with narrow frames or when multiple hardware components share the same edge. The bright brass finish and matching screws keep the hardware set visually unified, supporting projects that rely on uniform bright brass details across every lock point.
