4-7/8" Zinc Plated Strike Plate (Large Hole)

Perfect for what I needed. We have an apartment that “shifts” depending on the season. During the winter months our bathroom door doesn’t latch. I removed the old plate and installed this one with the larger opening without even needing to cut into the door frame.

Solid piece, the original broke off and I selected this one. Used my dewalt oscillator to cut the recess and fit this in. It’s very solid and the door closes properly now.

The hole is definitely good sized and fits my deadbolt perfectly. I needed this since shifting has caused the old one not to fit or allow it to close anymore. With this I can now give the shifting plenty of room.The screw holes are tapered unlike another striker I bought allowing the screws to fit flush and snug.It's made of good quality and does an excellent job.I would recommend and buy again.

These are well-made, it seems. Obviously they are huge compared to normal strike plates, but they are an easy install with a router bit or a good thin chisel. I've replaced strike plates on two doors that have seasonal shifting, and I'm about to order more for other doors. This is NOT a good strike plate for a bolt. You would need a strike plate with additional features for bolts. But these are great for knob latches. If installing alongside a bolt, be aware of heights, you may need a double-strike-plate.

The metal seems sufficiently strong for residential use, and installation was straight-forward. It will certainly help the front door on my mobile home which tends to rise or fall based on the season and amount of rainfall. The extra long slot allows about 1" total vertical movement of the door so that the lockset and dead bolt still align with the strike plate. This should address any foreseeable vertical movement.However, I found the slot was too narrow for the dead bolt, and barely wide enough for door latch bolt. My solution was to remove the narrow portion, opposite the the curved portion of the latch plate. I don't think I compromised the strength of the plate by this adjustment, but it did add another task to the installation. I also used 2" screws to provide additional security of the strike plates to door frame.

Our house shifts a lot. Some months doors close and latch, other months not so much. These strikers allow for the movement. Now we don't have to worry if our pets went into a room, we don't want them in. A good product. Easy to install (with a wood chisel). Secure once installed. Looks good. I also have one installed for our garage door. Now the door is easy to open year-round, and secure.

Had to cut of the "lip" for my application. Deadbolt in a garden gate. The long version gave me enough room for the deadbolt over the time of the year when the gate moves because of humidity changes (Louisiana). Also it was helpful that the screw holes are far apart so I could screw it into place in an area that wasn't affected by former installs. Metal is thicker then the stuff I have seen around in stores.

Metal twice thinner compare with standard strike plate.Cutout size much smaller and does not match item description:actual size - 0.55in x 2.51in,description size - 3/4in( 0.75) x 2 3/4in( 2.75).Latch does not fit into small cutout.Brand name is different from description.
