What exactly is a security door strike plate, and how is it different from the standard plate already on my door?
A security strike plate is a heavy-duty metal reinforcement that distributes the force of an attempted kick-in across a much larger section of the door frame — far stronger than the thin stamped plates installed in most new construction. Standard builder-grade plates are typically held by short screws that pull out in seconds; security-grade plates are designed to anchor deep into the framing stud behind the jamb.
