摘要

Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a strike plate adapted to receive bolts of latching and locking door hardware on a door. The strike plate can comprise a rigid material. The strike plate can have a lip on one side edge thereof. The strike plate can have a thickness such that, when installed, the strike plate protrudes from a plane of a rabbet of a door frame such that a clearance between the locking door hardware and the strike plate is reduced.

主权项

1. A strike plate connectable within a door frame to receive and secure a latch bolt disposed within a side of a door, the strike plate comprising:
a strike plate body including a front surface and a back surface, wherein the back surface is mounted against a surface of a mortised pocket within a rabbet of the door frame, adapted to receive the door latch bolt and having a thickness such that, when installed in the pocket of the door frame, protrudes beyond an outermost surface of the rabbet such that a gap between the side of the door and the strike plate is reduced, thereby increasing the door latch bolt projection into the strike plate, the strike plate including:
a lip extending from one side thereof;at least one cutout adapted to receive and secure the door latch bolt; anda plurality of screw holes each adapted to receive a screw there through to couple the strike plate to the door frame, each screw hole having a diameter that is greater than a major diameter of screws adapted to couple the strike plate to the door frame.
