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:

That one isn't suitable for most aluminium frames. When you've
cut the aluminium away to fix it, there will be nothing behind
the screw holes to fix it to.
