2-1/4" by 1-3/4" Door Latch Restorer Strike Plate for Doors, 2 PCS Universal Door Lock Hardware with Foul 1" Long Screws (Satin Nickel)

Good quality plate, worked fine for me. My front door is over 50 years old. The frame has shifted a few times over the years. Most recently we had a hell of an earthquake here. I also installed a new harder rubber weather stripping around the door. I installed a new bottom lock with a locking latch. The plate did not make and I couldn't lock the bottom lock. I needed to remove less then an eighth of an inch from the frame. This plate fit perfectly in the notch screwed it in no problem and filled the back with the JB weld steel, great stuff. The good thing about this plate is that it has four screws and of course oversized slot for the lock. In my opinion, great design. For those of you who are concerned about the screw length more than likely it will be adequate but for added extra protection I put in two number eight drywall screws 2 in long. Heads are a little bit larger but the screws fit just fine the head sticks out fractionally. If you are concerned about that and for some reason your door doesn't close, more than likely it will, you could always use a small cone shaped rotary file attachment for a drill and ream it out a bit. All in all, I would highly recommend this for anybody who has a similar problem.

I was surprised that this was such a simple solution and can;t believe they aren;t hanging by the dozens in every big box, DIY and hardware store in the country. Or at least down here on the clay where everything shifts. These work so well I mounted them, hollowed out the door to fit and all the interior doors that didn;t want to close now close and stay that way.

Great fix for old door locks! Our house is 46 years old and still settling. Front door lock would no longer align properly with striker plate. Thought about grinding or filing old stirker but not enough room. With a little work on fixing the door jam to accomodate the longer slot this striker worked perfectly. Took about 45 minutes of diy labor and $10 for the two strikers. Now our lock works 100% and we have an extra striker plate!

This product works. If your strike and bolt are out of alignment this is a great fix. (I have a new house and the trim carpenters did not do a good job of ensuring the bolt holes aligned with the strike holes) I read other reviews about the “non-standard” hole pattern. This is one of the best aspects actually. If you have to enlarge the hole to accommodate a higher strike position you won’t have any wood left to secure a standard strike mounting pattern. This is why the four offset holes work so well. If you need to bend the tab to adjust the door strike to close tightly, I recommend flat jaw pliers to bend vs. using a screwdriver. The metal is thick and hard to bend just with a screwdriver in the slot. Note: 1. You will need to make some modifications to the mortise where the strike goes. A $7 wood chisel and some careful marking with a pencil will do this just fine. 2. The hole in the jamb will need to be enlarged. I used a vibrating multi-tool, as a chisel will not work well. You could also use a hole saw. 3. I have a little painting touch up to do where I slipped and marred the door stop, but that’s on me. Take your time and it will work fine. 4. I did two doors in less than an hour from start to finish including cleanup. 5. Tools needed: Pencil Chisel, ideally smaller than 1/2” wide Small drill for the holes Phillips screwdriver 3/4” Hole saw or multi tool with a narrow blade (3/4” or smaller) to enlarge jamb hole. Patience. Overall it works great for the intended purpose, and I ordered two more for my last two doors with the same issue.

If your latch plate holes are stripped out, this will definitely help because it allows you to screw into fresh areas on the frame for a secure fit.

Works great. I did have to enlarge the hole in the wood slightly to match the larger hole in the new strikeplate, i used my dril for that as you aren’t really shaving off very much. Than putthe new strikeplate on and voila!

Exactly what I needed for an old shifting house!!! The price was right!!! Very sturdy metal

the wide opening is really useful for latches that are out of alignment and wont go in. the offset screw placements are in the perfect place, allowing the new screws to be put in in case the old center screw hole is stripped, and it usually is. the designer put a lot of thought into this.
