Kwikset 83796-021 Radius Corner Full Lip Strike Brass

Product Description

The KWIKSET 83796-021 is a radius corner full lip strike plate finished in bright brass, designed for residential door latch and deadbolt installations. Strike plates serve as the reinforcing hardware mortised into the door jamb, providing the catch point for the latch bolt or deadbolt. This strike is sold as a single unit and suits standard residential door frames where a full lip, radius corner profile is required. Installers choose this strike when replacing worn, misaligned, or incorrect-profile hardware on entry or interior doors. The bright brass finish coordinates with matching Kwikset lockset hardware.

This strike plate fits typical residential door jamb applications where a full lip design is specified. The full lip style offers additional jamb coverage compared to a standard T-strike, making it a common choice for single-family residential entry doors and interior passage sets. It is appropriate for new construction and retrofit work where the existing jamb mortise accepts a radius corner profile.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement strike for residential door jambs requiring a radius corner full lip strike profile in a bright brass finish.

Installation Notes

Strike plate installation is typically performed by a licensed locksmith, carpenter, or general contractor working on residential door hardware. Before installing, confirm the existing jamb mortise dimensions match the strike profile to avoid unnecessary routing. Secure the strike with the appropriate wood screws driven into solid jamb framing for proper engagement under load. Do not overtighten fasteners in soft wood jambs, as this can cause the plate to bow and misalign with the latch bolt.
