SDC 006-001-14 1/8 Armature Shim
Overview
The SDC 006-001-14 is a 1/8 inch precision armature shim — a mechanical adjustment component for door strike assemblies in access control installations. It solves the common retrofit problem where existing door frames or strike cutouts have minor dimensional variances that prevent proper armature seating. This shim closes that gap without requiring frame modification or strike replacement, keeping labor costs down and install time predictable. It is 8 inches in length and designed for drop-in integration into SDC door strike hardware deployments.
Compatibility
The SDC 006-001-14 works with SDC door strike hardware in credential-based access control systems. It is a mechanical shim component — not an electrical or networked device — and functions as a universal gap-adjustment adapter across SDC strike platforms used in retrofit and new-build installations. Confirm strike model and frame depth before ordering to ensure shim thickness (1/8 inch) matches your required adjustment. If you are integrating with HID reader ecosystems or other third-party credential platforms, verify electrical strike compatibility with your control panel before installation.
Installation Notes
The shim is a passive mechanical spacer — no tools, wiring, or configuration required beyond physical placement during strike installation. Install it between the strike faceplate and the door frame cutout to close gap and ensure flush seating of the armature. Confirm armature engagement after shimming; improper shim placement can prevent strike solenoid function. Do not stack multiple shims to reach larger gap adjustments — use the correct shim thickness for your application or specify a thicker component if needed.
