Tips & Tricks

I've heard that using three-inch screws for a strike plate makes a real difference — is that true, and is it something I can do myself?

Three-inch screws are the standard minimum recommendation for securing a strike plate because they're long enough to pass through the jamb and bite into the structural stud behind it, dramatically increasing kick-in resistance. The installation itself sounds simple, but if the existing pilot holes are stripped or misaligned, a DIY attempt can leave the plate looser than before. Sundial Locksmith ensures the hardware is properly seated and torqued — call (480) 525-7778 to get it done right in Columbus.
