Reinforced steel strike plate
2008 November 15
The garage of our new house was broken into long before we bought it. Someone had kicked in the side entrance door. So I reinforced the doorjamb with a piece of steel angle iron, making my own door latch / deadbolt combo strike plate. Here are some pics…
So now, there are a total of six 3-inch screws holding the 1/16″ inch guage steel strike plate to the cinder block wall of the garage. Go ahead, give the door a kick.
