Review on Prime Line Door Strike - Defender Security U 10385 - Ideal for 5-1/2 in πŸšͺ and 6 in Hole Spacing's on Dead Latch and Deadbolt - Steel with Satin Nickel Finish by Srinivas Johnson

Robust: door hardware and locks

I bought three of these to secure the door latch. These things are heavy. I put it in a dummy door and tried to break the door frame and it wouldn't budge no matter how hard I tried. They are great for extra door security. I feel safe knowing they are on all my doors. I live in an area where home invasions are common so I definitely needed this to stay safe. The screws that come with it are junk. DO NOT USE THEM. Instead, buy long 3/16" x 3-1/4" concrete anchor bolts. These are heavy duty bolts that won't break. I made the mistake of only screwing in the anchor bolts and they split the door frame part into two. Use a drill to drill holes in the hammer's holes before screwing it in so it fits snugly. Overall, this product is very durable and will get the job done. Just buy your own screws and DO NOT use the screws that come with the hammer as they are cheap and will break.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • No automation
