The strike plate (Schlie\u00dfblech)<\/strong> is the part of a door that sits in the door frame or door casing and firmly holds both the door latch and the deadbolt in the frame when the door is closed or locked.<\/p>\n

\"Schlie\u00dfblech\"<\/p>\n

Some people confuse the strike plate with the door fitting<\/a>. However, the door fitting is attached to the door itself – to protect the locking cylinder and the lock.<\/p>\n

In classical deadbolt locks, the strike plate only accommodates the bolt, as there is no door latch in conventional deadbolt locks.<\/p>\n

In technical jargon, strike plates for rebated doors are referred to as angled strike plates (Winkelschlie\u00dfbleche) and strike plates for flush doors as flat strike plates (Flachschlie\u00dfbleche).<\/p>\n

Particularly high-quality and secure strike plates feature a wall anchoring<\/strong> system. If you want to rely on the highest possible level of burglary protection, you should have strike plates with wall anchors installed on your entrance doors.<\/p>\n
