What gauge strike plate is most secure, and how do I know if what's on my door right now is actually protecting my home?
Solid steel strike plates in 10 to 12 gauge are among the most impact-resistant options available, and they're a significant step up from the thin 16-gauge stamped plates found on the majority of Columbus tract homes. The gauge matters, but so does the plate's length and the depth of the mortise it seats into — all factors we evaluate together.
