Strike plates for mortice latches Straight Galvanised - Available each

Striking plates are applied to the frame and cover the hole into which the latch bolt falls. By tapping the lip around the frame, it protects the frame from damage to the latch bolt of the mortise lock. The strike plates are often replaced when painting work is carried out on the frame.

Fitting strike plates

Before installing a strike plate, mark the place on the frame where the latch bolt of the mortise lock will fall into the frame. Once you have marked that spot, use a wood chisel to make a recess in the frame for the latch bolt. Make this cut-out about 1 to 1.5 cm deep, after which you should also cut out the surface area of the strike plates with a chisel. Do this only a Couple of mm deep, keeping the thickness of the strike plates. Now place the strike plate to cover the hole. The protruding lip of the strike plate is then hammered around the frame with a Plastic hammer. This lip will protect the frame wood from the latch bolt of the mortise lock. Can be used both Left and Right
