Claim 14:
15. A modular surface mounted electric strike system for use with a door latch assembly to selectively secure a pair of side-by-side movable first and second doors when in a door closed position in a door frame, wherein the door latch assembly includes a first latch associated with the first door and a second latch associated with the second door, wherein the first latch and the second latch are spaced apart at a first distance, the system comprising:
a first keeper assembly configured to receive the first latch associated with the first door, and a second keeper assembly configured to receive the second latch associated with the second door;
a first actuation assembly for association with the first keeper assembly, and a second actuation assembly for association with the second keeper assembly;
a first base plate configured to be mounted to the door frame, wherein the first base plate includes a first side and a second side, wherein each of the first side and the second side of the first base plate include at least one first keeper mounting point configured to attach the respective one of the first keeper assembly and the second keeper assembly, wherein the at least one first keeper mounting point on the first side of the first base plate is spaced apart at a second distance from the at least one first keeper mounting point on the second side of the first base plate; and
a second base plate configured to be mounted to the door frame, wherein the second base plate includes a first side and a second side, wherein each of the first side and the second side of the second base plate include at least one second keeper mounting point configured to attach the respective one of the first keeper assembly and the second keeper assembly, wherein the at least one second keeper mounting point on the first side of the second base plate is spaced apart at a third distance from the at least one second keeper mounting point on the second side of the second base plate,
wherein only one of the first base plate or the second base plate is mounted to the door frame at a time, whereby:
when the first distance matches the second distance the first base plate is used wherein:
i) the first keeper assembly is attached to the first base plate at the at least one first keeper mounting point on the first side of the first base plate, and the first actuation assembly is associated with the first keeper assembly, and
ii) the second keeper assembly is attached to the first base plate at the at least one first keeper mounting point on the second side of the first base plate, and the second actuation assembly is associated with the second keeper assembly, and

when the first distance matches the third distance the second base plate is used wherein:
i) the first keeper assembly is attached to the second base plate at the at least one second keeper mounting point on the first side of the second base plate, and the first actuation assembly is associated with the first keeper assembly, and
ii) the second keeper assembly is attached to the second base plate at the at least one second keeper mounting point on the second side of the second base plate, and the second actuation assembly is associated with the second keeper assembly.
