Prime-Line E 2688 Stainless Steel High Security Deadbolt Strike (Single Pack)

I installed this on a full weather exposure basement door. It is well made, and the 2-layer system with the long screws gives me a good feeling of security. You may have to chisel the pocket deeper because of the 2-layers, and make sure you install the inner plate with the 2 long screws to the center of the door jamb, not to the outside edge. I’m happy I bought and installed this.

The plate is magnetic, so it is questionable whether it is truly stainless steel.Cheap stainless steels (ferritic) are magnetic as are hardened stainless steels (martensitic) like steak knives. Most highly corrosion resistant stainless steels (austenitic, 300-series, 18-8 or 18-10) are non-magnetic. The shorter screws that hold the two plates together are stainless (non-magnetic).The quality of the pieces (fit and finish) is quite good.I will update this later once it has been out in the weather for a while.

great

The product description states that this is "used by scalage". However it is not the same as what comes with a scalage deadbolt lock in that the screws that attach the security plate are much thinner diameter and thus not as thick as the screws that come with a scalage lock. If you try to replace a screw on the scalage lock it will not work because the screw on this is much thinner and it will not grip. And also as a result the screw in this package is much weaker than the ones with a schlage lock which I do not consider acceptable.

works well

works great just what i wanted

Great product

This is a courteous warning to potential buyers. This is light weight, having the texture and weight of aluminum. It also bends easily. That is, this is not high security as advertised. The bracket should be heavy steel. The best I could find is at Home Depot, but that stuff is yellow in color and probably not the best steel either. Schlage locks typically come with better metal, but I do not know where to find those if they even sell that quality any longer.

Probably the most economical way to improve the security of your deadbolt. Most deadbolts don't come with a strike that is robust enough to handle a kick to the door. But the two strikes in this one + the long 3 inch screws ensure that you're protected against that type of attack. The 3 inch screws ensure the strike is secured to the door jamb and not just the door frame.

Just a convenient way to pick this up
