Description: Installation of security strike plates is a passive security feature that can often be overlooked. Security strike plates are larger and thicker than traditional strike plates and are designed to provide additional reinforcement around the extended latch or deadbolt on the jamb side of the entryway. Security strikes can also be surface mounted in order to shrink the gap between the door and the jamb. Security strike plates are a vital component of any passive entryway security plan and help deter forced entry through kick-ins, door prying, jamb spreading, and many other action intended to defeat the lock.There are three key components to look for when choosing a security strike plate:1. The area of the strike plate.2. Length of screws used to install the strike plate.3. Position and number of screws used to secure the strike plate.The area of the security strike plate, or more importantly the length of the strike, is vital in providing added security to the entryway and a feature that is overlooked with traditional strike plates. The added length of a security strike plate provides a metal reinforcement to a softer substance, such as the wood jamb. Where a blunt object, like a screw driver, can be used to break the wooden jamb, the added security of a metal security strike plate provides more stability and deters manipulation or forced entry.The length of the screws used with a security strike plate is most important. Many OEM supplied strike plates come with screws whose length fastens into the doorjamb. These types of screw do not secure the entryway from a doorjamb attack. Security strike plates usually provide 3” or longer screws that fasten the security strike plate directly into the stud located behind the jamb. The additional length reduces the chances of the strike plate being dislodged during a doorjamb attack, keeping the integrity of the entryway.
