Electric door strike keeper

An actuator-controlled electric strike for operating in conjunction with a spring latch of a lockset disposed in a door, wherein said lockset includes said spring latch and a dead latch, wherein said spring latch has an engaged position and a release position, and wherein said spring latch includes a latch face, a ramp surface, and a tip having a lateral edge disposed between said latch face and said ramp surface, said electric strike comprising:

• a housing having an entry chamber defined therein;
• and
• a spring latch keeper disposed in said entry chamber for movement between a keeper locked position and a keeper unlocked position, wherein said spring latch keeper is rotatable about a keeper axis of rotation, and wherein said spring latch keeper includes:
• a keeper face configured for abutting contact with said latch face of said spring latch when said spring latch is disposed in said entry chamber and said spring latch is in said engaged position to maintain said door in a closed position relative to a door frame, wherein said keeper face is contactable by said tip of said spring latch,
• a second surface recessed from said keeper face, and
• a spring latch contact ridge positioned between said keeper face and said second surface,
• wherein said spring latch contact ridge is disposed at a non-perpendicular angle from said keeper axis of rotation,
• wherein said spring latch contact ridge is contactable by a contact point along said lateral edge of said tip of said spring latch as said spring latch keeper moves between said keeper locked position and said keeper unlocked position when said door is moved from said closed position toward an open position, and
• wherein said contact point changes along said lateral edge of said tip of said spring latch as said spring latch exits said entry chamber and said door is moved toward said open position.
