Strike plate explained simply – the thing on the door frame

Functions of the strike plate

The strike plate is attached to the door frame, or more precisely, to the door frame, and has the task of holding the bolt and the lock latch of a profile cylinder lock in the frame with the help of recesses, so that the door, when it is closed, remains closed. Furthermore, the strike plate protects the – often wooden – door frame from damage and wear caused by bolts and lock latches. With a conventional deadbolt lock, the strike plate only holds the bolt, as there is usually no lock latch with this type of lock. Particularly secure strike plates are firmly anchored to the masonry. For increased burglary protection, it is recommended to choose a strike plate with wall anchoring. With steel frames, it is often the case that no strike plate is necessary, as the frame is made of steel anyway. It is not uncommon for the recesses to be integrated into the frame in such a way that bolts and lock latches can be picked up even without a strike plate. Damage or wear and tear are not to be feared here due to the material. This is similar with aluminium frames.
