Prime-line MP9426 Maximum Security Latch Strike Steel

Product Description

The PRIME-LINE MP9426 is a maximum security latch strike designed to replace a standard residential door strike plate and significantly reinforce a locked door against forced entry. Constructed from stamped alloy steel with a brass plated finish, this strike measures 1-1/4 inches wide by 7-7/8 inches long. It secures to the door frame using six 3-inch screws that anchor directly into the jack and trimmer stud behind the jamb, providing deep structural attachment rather than surface-level fastening. All necessary mounting hardware is included. Licensed locksmiths, carpenters, and security-focused contractors typically install this component during door reinforcement projects.

This latch strike is intended for residential and light commercial door applications where an existing standard strike plate needs to be upgraded for improved kick-in resistance. The extended plate length and deep-penetrating screw pattern make it well suited for exterior entry doors on wood-framed structures. Because some mortising and pilot hole drilling may be required for a flush fit, installation is best suited for technicians comfortable with basic door hardware work. The brass plated finish blends with common door hardware finishes found on entry door locksets and hinges.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified locksmith, carpenter, or door hardware technician. Remove the existing strike plate and assess the mortise depth before beginning. Pilot holes are recommended to avoid splitting the door jamb, and mortising may be required to achieve a flush fit. Ensure the door is in the closed and latched position when marking screw locations to confirm proper latch alignment before fastening.
