Door strike assembly with a revolving latch ejector

A method for selectively swapping an electric door strike assembly from either a left-handed or right-handed configuration to the other of the left-handed or right-handed configuration, wherein the electric door strike assembly is configured for use in conjunction with a cylindrical-type lockset of a door, wherein the cylindrical-type lockset includes a door latch selectively moveable from a latched condition when the door is in a closed orientation and an unlatched condition when the door is in an openable orientation, and wherein the cylindrical-type lockset includes a deadlatch configured to prevent unauthorized movement of the door latch when the door is in the closed orientation, the method comprising the steps of:

• a) providing an electric door strike assembly having a strike housing including opposing side walls joined by at least one plate defining a strike cavity, wherein the strike housing is configured for being disposed within a door frame, wherein a latch release assembly is received within the strike cavity, wherein the latch release assembly includes a latch ejector rotatably connected to the strike housing about a first axis, wherein the latch ejector is configured to engage the deadlatch when the door is in the closed orientation, wherein the latch release assembly further includes a motor coupled to the latch ejector, wherein actuation of the motor rotates the latch ejector in a first rotational direction about the first axis to disengage the latch ejector from the deadlatch as the latch ejector is rotating in the first rotational direction about the first axis, and wherein further rotation of the latch ejector in the first rotational direction causes the latch ejector to engage the door latch whereby the door latch is moved from the latched condition to the unlatched condition such that the door is placed in the openable orientation;
• b) removing the at least one plate from the opposing sidewalls forming an opening in the strike housing;
• c) removing the latch release assembly from the strike cavity through the opening;
• d) inverting the latch release assembly end-over-end;
• e) inserting the inverted latch release assembly through the opening;
• f) repositioning the at least one plate between the opposing sidewalls;
• and
• g) reinstalling the inverted latch release assembly within the strike cavity.
