I think you're in for a challenge unless you can swap out the existing lockset with a standard mortised lock or deadbolt lock.
Hager makes some electric strikes designed to work with dead bolts. I've used them a long time ago at several commercial projects. They're big and clunky, but work:
[Link: hagerco.com]He would have to swap out the lock because the current "deadbolt" is more of a hook and a standard strike plate wouldn't have any space above for the hook to go into.
Then, if you look at his first photo you can see that 1-5/8" of "meat" would have to be channeled out of the door frame for the deadbolt to be able to pass. Normally those electric strike plates are for the latch bolt and not the deadbolt.
