Prime-Line U 10385 Door Strike, for Use with 5-1/2 In. and 6 In. Hole Spacing On Dead Latch and Deadbolt, Steel, Satin Nickel (Single Pack)

Bought this to complete a custom door project. Amazon had best price as compared to other Hardware Stores. Screws were of good quality (be sure to pre-drill holes). Is an easy way to add extra security and reinforcement to door frames without detracting from overall appearance.

It is pretty soft metal. Prime Line and Defender are the same company. Defender brand is how this product is packaged and those are the cheap 4" and 6" brass strike plates at HD/Wally etc. Now this is a decent grade product and better than the HD/Wally junk but not even close to Don Jo etc which is real 12ga steel. I don't know what this metal is but I can bend it in the middle with significant pressure but that is not truly relative to its holding power. A thief would have to bust out the screws and 2x4 as well as the plate so it is pretty secure. This model does have a very nice nickel finish on it for the price. If you change out the screws for 3 inch stainless screws for another dollar it will hold really good. Actually you only need the 6 screws that will go into the frame. It doesn't matter the quality of the 1.5" screws much because they are only going into the 3/4" jamb. I managed to get 8 screws to bite into the frame but I removed the door outer molding so I could see where the screws were going. It was easy to chisel out the print for plate and I was pleased with the install. This product is also much easier to install than a larger or longer quality strike plate. The 1/2 inch tabs are a nice touch to add some stability too. All in all I am pleased with the purchase after installing it and it looks nice. It is way more hassle to install an 18" to 48" professional strike plate at $25 to $65+. This is kind of a nice happy medium for quality, installation and price. I was going to take a star away for being soft metal but it is priced good for what you get and I don't see it really having much impact on the situation.

Fit my Home Depot pre-hung patio doors perfectly.

Excellent quality and creates not only a safer door, but a more tightly closed door with almost zero play when closed.

I am glad I decided to upgrade, removing my old strike plates the screws were so short and one screw I just pulled out with my fingers. I got it installed with nor real issues and no adjustments needed. After doing some research I also decided to use legit construction screws over cheap zinc ones which have a tendency to shear. Overall I am happy with this item but I wouldn't mind paying a little bit more for one with a better finish that the paint doesn't immediately scrape off from opening and closing the door a few times.

I bought three of these to secure my door latch. These things are heavy duty. I put it in a dummy door and tried to break the door frame and it would not give in no matter how hard i tried. These are great for added door security. I feel safe knowing i have these on all my doors. I live in a area where home invasions are high so i def needed this to stay safe. The screws that come with this are junk. DO NOT USE THEM. Instead go out and buy yourselves long 3/16 Diameter x 3-1/4" length concrete anchor screws. These are heavy duty screws and will not break off. Also to prevent from cracking the door frame, it's best to first drill holes before putting your screws in. I did the mistake of just screwing the anchor screws in and it split the a piece of the door frame in two. Use a drill bit to make holes in the holes of the striker plate before screwing so it goes in nicely. Overall this product is very sturdy and will do the job. Just remember to buy your own screws and DO NOT use the screws that come with the striker plate. They are cheap and will break apart.

I’m satisfied with this purchase. The product matches the description and feels well made. It was easy to use right out of the box and performs as expected. Shipping was quick and everything arrived in good condition. Overall, a solid product for the price.

Great door strike to help secure front door. use with 3inch screws and no one can break in. Cheaper on Amazon too. I highly recommend.

The security door strike seems like it's of excellent quality. I could surface-mount the plate by slightly expanding one of the holes. The long screws were a deciding factor in my purchase of this.

Used this to beef up our door jams. I used GRK R4 framing screws 3.5 inches long instead of what was included. Price was better than local HD but the screws were better priced there. Worked great, wife is happy.

Well made

Good quality thanks

Lined up with the door well. Feels more secure but I have never tried to kick in the door :)
