@@absupplynet I do not. I’d love to use this template for aluminum storefront frames but I’ll have to invest in a router first haha. I’ve been installing the Adam’s rite steel hawks instead but seem to have issues down the road with them. I have installed a few electric strikes on storefront frames and prepped without a template….takes a lot of time and it’s hard to get everything lined up perfectly. This template would definitely help.

@@garretthigginbotham6122 What issues are you having with the steelhawk?

@@absupplynet getting the strike plate to line up with the latch. Even when I’d think the strike plate is perfect, I’d have to modify the strike. And sometimes the latch would be sitting perfectly but there was still binding when trying to open. Also, Ive had issues with the push paddle, specifically the cam disk coming loose and not engaging properly. Also if the door gap is less than 1/8”, the door will rub on the strike plate.
