Default Reinforcing night latch

Not sure of the correct terminology here, but I'm referring to a night latch
lock
http://www.screwfix.com/prods/42344/...y-60mm-Backset

Guess most people would call it a Yale lock.

Anywho. What I'm after is a purpose made steel reinforcement strip that
goes over the striker plate & is screwed into the door frame. The idea is
to stop the door being forced, the striker plate usually only being held by
three screws.

Someone told me they are called 'London Plates' but Google only returns
china & stuff.

Anyone know what the correct name is?
