Latch / Strike Plate
A latch/strike plate is a crucial component of a door-locking system, providing the mechanism by which a door latches securely into place when closed. Typically consisting of two parts—the latch and the strike plate—it ensures proper alignment and secure closure of the door. The latch is affixed to the door itself, while the strike plate is mounted onto the door frame or jamb. When the door is closed, the latch engages with the strike plate, preventing the door from swinging open and enhancing security.
