However the house has a Anglian Aluminium door (and frame) and without
going
round to examine it I am unsure of whether fitting the door striker will
be
feasible - having not seen one of the door strikers in the flesh.

It doesn't look like the electronic striker is included in the kit,
although it's not very clear. Normally, different strikers are used
with aluminimum frames, as the fixings are quite different.

Ah yes:

Any

more thoughts?

Have a look at locksonline.co.uk

They have a much wider range of electric strikes and complete access
control systems.

There are some strikes suitable for aluminium frames such as the Trimec ES110.

Here's another example

At any rate, this does need an inspection because of the different
locking arrangements for aluminium doors.
