Review on πŸ”’ Enhance Door Security with Prime-Line Products U 9495 Adjustable Door Strike, Brass Plated by Simon Nugroho

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Well, if your door doesn't latch; not good if the problem is the door has too much play when latched

This is an innovative adjustable strike plate. Fits into standard cutouts such as metal door frames in apartment buildings. Ease of installation. If your problem is that your door won't latch because the deadbolt doesn't fit the hole in the striker plate, then this is a good solution. This striker plate can be adjusted to be more forgiving, allowing warped doors to still latch and latch. But my problem is that my door wobbles and rattles in the frame because there is play between the edge of the strike plate hole and the latch when the door is closed. Unfortunately, given the way the strike plate adjusts, it couldn't do anything to make the fit tighter. So if your problem is that you need to make the door more forgiving, this is a good solution; If you need to tighten the fit between the latch and plate, this latch plate will not help. As my issue was the last one (a rattling door) I can only give this product three stars and hope future designs will correct both directions equally.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
