ABSTRACT:
An adjustable strike incorporates a bracket defining a slide, a striker plate including a latch-engaging section and an integral slider slidably positioned in the slide and an adjusting screw recessed into the bracket underneath the slide, said screw having a head accessible at an edge of the bracket and a thread threadedly engaging the slider. Projections are provided at the opposite sides of the slide which overhang the edge margins of the slider to slidably retain the slider in the slide. The bracket and screw are simple molded plastic parts and the striker plate is a simple formed metal part. All three parts can be assembled quickly without any tools by placing the screw in the bracket recess and engaging an edge of the striker plate slider under the projections at one side of the slide and pressing the slider down into the slide whereupon its opposite side edge becomes engaged under the projections at the opposite side of the slide.
