Raised strike plates are specially designed metal fittings installed on door or window frames to receive and align the latch or bolt, creating a secure closure. The raised profile of these plates ensures that the locking mechanism reliably meets the strike zone, compensating for gaps or misalignment often found in sliding doors, patio doors, and some window configurations. This collection features authentic AmesburyTruth parts, trusted across the industry for their durability and compatibility.

How Raised Strike Plates Work

Raised strike plates are mounted to the jamb or frame, standing slightly above the surface to provide extra clearance where the standard latch or lock would otherwise fail to engage. This raised design is especially important for installations that require additional reach, such as sliding glass doors or older frames where settling or warping has created spacing issues. The result is a more secure, consistent lock operation and improved overall security for your home or property.

Key Use Cases and Applications

These plates are ideal for:

  • Sliding patio doors in wood, vinyl, or aluminum frames that need precise latch engagement
  • French doors and multi-point locking systems in residential and commercial properties
  • Window sashes that require tight closure to maintain energy efficiency and security
  • Retrofit or replacement projects where the original strike plate is worn, bent, or missing

All parts in this collection are engineered for compatibility with AmesburyTruth hardware systems, widely used by leading window and door manufacturers.

Product Features and Specifications

  • Manufactured from heavy-duty steel or stainless steel for long-lasting protection
  • Available in various heights, widths, and configurations to match your specific latch and frame
  • Many models offer adjustable mounting slots for fine-tuning fit and alignment
  • Corrosion-resistant finishes for lasting performance indoors or outdoors

For example, the 7-inch raised strike plate is a common choice for Nexus sliding door applications, while the 1/2 x 4-3/16 face plate provides a compact option for tighter frame spaces. Adjustable models like the P2000® raised strike plate allow for easy field adjustment to fine-tune the latch engagement.

Installation and Replacement Tips

Replacing or upgrading to a raised strike plate is a straightforward process for most standard doors and windows. Ensure you measure the original plate and mounting screw hole spacing before selecting a replacement. Use the included screws for a secure fit, and check that the latch or bolt fully engages without resistance. For frames with unique profiles or older hardware, models like the P3000® adjustable strike plate provide added flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the difference between a standard and a raised strike plate?
    A raised strike plate has a profile that sits above the frame surface, allowing the latch or bolt to reach the plate when there is extra clearance needed. Standard strike plates are flush with the frame and don't provide this extra height.
  • Are these strike plates compatible with all door brands?
    These strike plates are engineered specifically for AmesburyTruth hardware and are commonly used in many sliding and patio door brands. Always verify dimensions and mounting hole spacing before ordering.
  • Can I upgrade to a raised strike plate if my door has alignment problems?
    Yes, raised strike plates are a practical solution for situations where the latch is not engaging due to alignment issues or frame settling.
