Claims4
A barn door strike assembly to receive a barn door lock bolt, the strike assembly comprising:
- a main body, comprising:
- a bolt receiving aperture to receive the barn door lock bolt therein;
- a strike base, comprising:
- a main body contacting portion connected to the main body to attach the main body to a wall, and
- a door frame contacting portion perpendicularly disposed away from the main body contacting portion with respect to a direction to connect the door frame contacting portion to a door frame, such that the main body is configured to be mounted on the main body contacting portion on the strike base, such that the strike base defines an indentation on the main body contacting portion creating a channel with opposed apertures;
- and
- a connecting member and fastening means to connect the connecting member to the main body, such that the connecting member is configured to be received within the channel, such that the connecting member slides up in a first vertical direction and slides down in a second vertical direction to allow the main body to be adjusted in response to the barn door strike assembly being misaligned with the barn door lock bolt.
A barn door strike assembly to receive a barn door lock bolt, the strike assembly comprising:
