1. 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, the system comprising:
a) a universal base plate configured to be mounted to the door frame, wherein the universal base plate includes a first side and a second side, wherein each of the first side and the second side include at least one first mounting point and at least one second mounting point;
b) a first electric strike module configured to receive the first latch associated with the first door, wherein the first electric strike module includes a first header, a first keeper assembly mounted to the first header, and a first actuator assembly, wherein the first actuator assembly is configured for moving between a first mode for preventing the first keeper assembly from moving toward an unlatched position and a second mode for permitting the first keeper assembly to move toward the unlatched position;
c) a second electric strike module configured to receive the second latch associated with the second door, wherein the second electric strike module includes a second header, a second keeper assembly mounted to the second header, and a second actuator assembly, wherein the second actuator assembly is configured for moving between a third mode for preventing the second keeper assembly from moving toward the unlatched position and a fourth mode for permitting the second keeper assembly to move toward the unlatched position;
wherein when the first latch and the second latch are separated a first distance in the door closed position:
i) the first electric strike module is attached to the at least one first mounting point on the first side of the universal base plate, and
ii) the second electric strike module is attached to the at least one first mounting point on the second side of the universal base plate; and
wherein when the first latch and the second latch are separated a second distance in the door closed position:
i) the first electric strike module is attached to the at least one second mounting point on either the first side or the second side of the universal base plate, and
ii) the second electric strike module is attached to the at least one second mounting point on the other of the first side or the second side of the universal base plate.
