Pro-Lok ESP-140-C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Pro-Lok 6-inch security strike plate fit a wood door jamb, or is it only for metal frames?
It mounts to most wood or metal door jambs. The plate is stainless steel and measures 6 x 1-1/8 inches, so you need a jamb face that can take that footprint. On a wood jamb the six included 1 inch screws are what do the work, biting past the thin jamb material toward the framing so the door resists kick-ins.
2) Do I need to buy longer screws to install this security strike plate?
Six 1 inch screws ship with the plate and nothing else is required to mount it. If you are reinforcing an exterior wood jamb and want the fasteners to reach the stud behind it rather than stopping in the jamb, longer screws are a common field substitution, but they are not part of the kit.
3) Is a 6-inch strike plate worth it over the standard short strike that came with the lock?
The standard strike that ships with a residential lockset is usually around 2-1/4 inches with two screws, and that is the piece that tears out first in a kick-in. Going to a 6 inch plate with six fasteners spreads the force over a much longer run of jamb. If you manage rental units or storefront back doors and keep seeing frames split at the strike, this is the low-cost fix.
4) Can I use this security strike plate on a commercial building, or is it residential only?
Pro-Lok rates it for residential, commercial, and industrial use. It is a reinforcement strike, so it handles the latch and the jamb, not the lock function itself. Verify the plate's lip and latch cutout line up with the latch you already have before you cut the jamb.
5) Will this strike plate cover the mortise left by my old strike?
At 6 x 1-1/8 inches it is longer and typically taller than a standard short strike cutout, so it covers the old mortise top and bottom in most swaps. Work on the jamb is still needed: you route the area above and below the existing pocket so the new plate sits flush, then drive the six screws.
6) What finishes does the Pro-Lok 6-inch security strike come in?
Two: brass and chrome. Pick the one that matches the lockset and hinges already on the opening, since the strike sits in plain view on the jamb edge. The plate itself is stainless steel under the finish.
