ABSTRACT:
A strike plate for an entry door structure. The strike plate consists of a unitary metal member having a face portion which merges into a curved lip portion which merges into a lateral flange oriented perpendicularly to the face portion. The face portion has an upper and lower edge defining the vertical dimension thereof and a recess for receiving an outwardly-biased latch member of a door, and has mounting holes for screw members to fix the face portion on the face surface of a jamb of a frame for an entry door structure. The lateral flange has upper and lower edges defining the vertical dimension thereof. The vertical dimension of the flange is greater than the vertical dimension of the face portion. The lateral flange has mounting holes extending therethrough exclusively at locations more spaced apart vertically than the mounting holes through the face portion. Screw mounting of said strike plate on a jamb of an entry door structure effectively causes the screws mounting the face portion to be at locations between the screws mounting the flange on the jamb. An additional entry door enhancement for obstructing unauthorized entry is a special rigidifying strip strip for the entry door itself.
