Default Reinforced (door) strike plates

To be secure you really have to reinforce both sides - the door and
the jamb. There's also the visual deterent. Your door will look
tougher to get into so they'll be less likely to try and go for an
easier target.


Well, I tend to agree re visuals.

Check Amazon for:
Security Strike, Brushed Nickel 6"H x 1-1/8"W by Mintcraft $8.32
Door Reinforcer, 4" x 4 1/2" Brushed Nickel by Mintcraft $7.79
Door Reinforcer, 4" x 9" Brushed Nickel by Mintcraft $9.76


This stuff might work OK on the front door ...

Please note I came in right in the middle of your budget range at
around $30. I expect extra points when you do your grading.


Not until the assignment is finished. The Strike, Brushed Nickel 6"H
will not clear the strike on the knob-set on the rear door, hence
cannot be used there. Eh?

Thx,
Will
