4 1/2" Solid-Brass Mortise Strike Plate

Good quality but did not match my doors

The nickel finish screws are poor quality and finish. Both screws had non-uniform finish and 1 screw broke off during installation while mounting in wood into a drilled pilot hole.

The strike plate is made with high quality and is an excellent choice for restoration projects. Unfortunately, the lock cutouts don't precisely matchup. I would recommend allowing customers to provide direct measurements of the existing mortise lock and having the strike plate made to fit.

These worked however they didn't fit exactly so we had to do some modifications

Made the house more uniform

The House of Antique Hardware might be your best bet for fitting an antique strike plate when you have none. I purchased the 4 & 1/2"" Solid Brass Mortise Strike Plate, in a brass finish. This is a simple, unadorned strike plate made to fit a small production indoor skeleton key lock from 1904-1912. I choose to review this item due to the good customer service I received via telephone. While the CS agent was not necessarily ebullient to help, he helped me arrive at a decision that best fit my needs. During the installation I had to file the plate to well-fit the latch and lock bolt on the antique lock. This was an interior door-lock, and may have been originally installed on an exterior door which contributed to some corrosion and rusting. There was more work involved than I had planned in order to properly set the lock in the door, but when all was finished, this new strike plate may the entire experience worthwhile, as it is a solid product.[...]

I needed a custom strike plate to fit an old lock. This brass strike plate was easy to file to make a good fit and the price was reasonable. It would be great if they sold a brass ""blank"" with smaller openings to modify in this size.

Thanks

The old plates must have gotten thrown out during the reconstruction needed it to match the old fixtures.
