Prime-Line U 10278 Two Piece Adjustable Door Strike, Chrome Plated (Single Pack)

Worked great in the floor of my tear drop camper

Good quslity but size wasn’t right for my door

This adjustable strike place solves misalignment problems in both directions, up and down and inside to outside. We had a door that never latched smoothly, and after removing and reinstalling it to install a modern bottom seal and new threshold, I could NOT get it to latch, no matter how I futzed with the hinges. The problem was that with the door properly plumbed in the opening, the latch and bolt were too low by so far, the bolt could barely operate and the latch would not engage at all. This adjustable door strike, being taller than the standard strike plate, solved that problem without the need to fill and relocate the old screw holes Because it's taller than the standard strike plate, I only had to use a chisel to enlarge the bottom of the mortise, then install the new plate in the existing upper screw hole and a new lower screw hole--far easier than having to fill the old screw holes with dowel like in the old days. But that's not all. This strike place is in two parts, An outer "clamp plate" that's open on one side and with slotted holes that permit adjustment in the inside to outside direction and are covered by the outer plate. I just had to chisel a bit from the inside of the mortise and adjust the strike plate to permit perfect, secure latching against the additional pressure of the new weatherstripping. .

I tried this to cover the hole for the door latch in the jam. Two things. First, the striker is simply too long. I ended up cutting it to fit my needs. Second, the receptacle is oddly shaped so when installed the latch doesn’t engage very well. The receptacle should be more ‘straight’ (or 90 degrees to the jam) instead of being at a fairly acute angle - maybe that’s due to the forming process - but the result is that it impedes the engagement of the latch. It worked for the deadbolt, but not the latch. When the latch engages (by pushing the door enough for this purpose) the latch slides up the ramp and disengages.

This door strike is said to be for steel door systems, but it comes with screws for a steel door and wood screws, so I assume it is also designed for wood door frames, too. If using it on a wood door frame be prepared to do some chiseling to enlarge whole for the latch bolt and the recess for the face plate. Once you get that far you will likely realize that the plate will allow you to move inward to reduce the size of the opening, but don't expect even it to move out more than a 1/16". If you are using it for an interior door it may work, but don't expect it to work with an exterior residental locking door knob. Here's the thing, when you use it to move the strike back it reduces the size of the opening to the point that an exterior set is not going to work properly. Even if the bolt goes in it will likely be swallow and with the curve at the face plate it may not be securely latched, but may suffice for a passage set. It's cheap quality. I would not recommend it.

I order these frequently when installed Timely knock down frames as the original strike plates often get lost on job sites by contractors and these perfectly fit my need. You can’t just run to Home Depot or Lowe’s and grab one of these. If you need an adjustable strike plate for a Timely door frame these will work and save you from having to source them or order them from a Timely Rep.

My search is finally over!! For years I've been looking for the correct door striker for my interior garage door to replace the ugly brass one it came with. All the hardware stores, Lowes and Home Depot all sold the same incorrect striker. Quality is excellent and fitment was perfect. Thank you!

This was a very simple solution to a gap around the door. If closes tightly now against the weatherstrip, keeping air and sound outside.

Had to open up the frame side hole to make room for the receiver, but works well.

works ok after having to fit it

Big compared to old one but great quality

super low quality. flakey coating that comes off immediately

All.good
