A strike plate housing adapted to be received in a door jamb, said strike plate housing comprising a strike plate, a first wall and a second wall, said first and second walls depending from the strike plate and defining a housing cavity, wherein said strike plate housing is adapted to selectively receive at least one associated insert plate in the housing cavity such that the at least one insert plate is at least substantially fixed in said housing, and wherein said first wall includes a first plurality of grooves along the first wall on a first side of the housing cavity, wherein at least one groove of the first plurality of grooves is adapted to receive at least a portion of the at least one associated insert plate, and wherein said second wall includes a second plurality of grooves along the second wall on a second side of the cavity opposite the first side of the cavity wherein at least one groove of the second plurality of grooves is adapted to receive at least a portion of the at least one associated insert plate.
An adjustable strike plate assembly comprising:
- a strike plate having an opening;
- walls depending from said strike plate along a periphery of the opening defining a housing cavity;
- a first insert plate received in the housing cavity and selectively mounted to one of said walls;
- a second insert plate received in the housing cavity and adapted to selectively mount to at least one of the walls and be selectively received by said first insert plate.
An adjustable door strike assembly comprising:
- a door strike housing including a strike plate having an opening and at least two walls depending from the strike plate along the periphery of the opening;
- and a first insert plate adapted to mount to one of the at least two walls;
- and a second insert plate adapted to be attach to said first insert plate, wherein each of said walls is adapted to allow said first insert plate to mount to said wall in at least two predetermined locations along each of said walls;
- wherein at least one of said insert plates includes a first surface and a second surface spaced from and substantially parallel with the first surface, said at least one insert plate further including a plurality of tabs extending from and substantially normal to the second surface.
An adjustable strike plate assembly comprising:
- a strike plate housing comprising a strike plate, a first wall extending from the strike plate, and a second wall extending from the strike plate and the first wall, the first wall including a first plurality of grooves and the second wall including a second plurality of grooves;
- and
- a first insert plate selectively received in at least one of the first plurality of grooves.
An adjustable strike plate assembly comprising:
- a strike plate housing comprising a strike plate, a first wall extending from the strike plate, and a second wall extending from the strike plate, the second wall being spaced from and at least substantially parallel to the first wall, the first wall including a first plurality of mounting locations and the second wall including a second plurality of mounting locations;
- a first insert plate selectively mounted to the first wall at one of the first plurality of mounting locations and mounted to the second wall at one of the second plurality of mounting locations, the first insert plate extending between the first wall and the second wall.
