Pro-Lok - Strike Plate – Small Adjustable 2-3/4″

The Pro-Lok small adjustable strike plate measures 2-3/4 x 1-1/8 inches. That is the common small-plate footprint used on residential and light commercial jambs, so it covers the same jamb cutout most standard latch strikes already sit in.

The strike lip adjusts so you can tighten the fit between the door and the jamb. If a door rattles or the weather stripping is not compressing, you move the adjustment rather than re-cutting the jamb or shimming the hinges. Same plate handles a door that sits slightly proud or slightly deep.

Probably not. At 2-3/4 x 1-1/8 inches this is the small plate, so it covers a standard small strike mortise. If your jamb was cut for a taller plate, such as a 4-7/8 inch mortise lock strike, the small plate will leave the mortise exposed and you will want a strike sized to that prep instead.

Yes, that is the usual fix. A loose or rattling door is normally a strike alignment problem, not a lock problem. The Pro-Lok adjustable strike lets you bring the latch keeper in against the door so the weather stripping seals, and it reinforces the jamb at the same time. The lock itself stays put.

It reinforces the door jamb and deters tampering and kick-ins, which is the weak point on most doors, since the jamb splits before the lock fails. Note this is the small 2-3/4 x 1-1/8 inch plate. If you want serious forced-entry resistance across a multifamily portfolio, a long box strike that catches framing studs does more work than any small plate.

Brass is the finish offered. If the other openings in the building are on brass or polished brass lever sets and deadbolts, it will read as a match; on a satin chrome or black hardware set it will not.

Pro-Lok rates the small adjustable strike for residential, commercial, or industrial use, so it is not a residential-only part. Common uses are apartment entry doors, back-of-house doors, and tenant unit doors where the jamb has taken abuse.
