Schlage Commercial 37016 Door Frame Reinforcer

Product Description

The SCHLAGE COMMERCIAL 37016 is a door frame reinforcer designed to strengthen the door frame strike area against forced entry. This hardware component adds structural integrity at the point where the door latch or deadbolt engages the frame, one of the most common failure points during a kick-in or impact event. Measuring 3.5 inches in length, 3 inches in width, and 0.5 inches in height, it is a compact unit weighing 0.1 pounds. Installation is straightforward and is typically handled by locksmiths, commercial door hardware installers, or general contractors working on security upgrades.

This reinforcer is suited for commercial, institutional, and multi-family residential applications where frame integrity at the latch or deadbolt strike zone is a concern. It is commonly installed during new construction, renovation projects, or as part of a security assessment correction on existing door assemblies. The compact profile allows it to fit in standard frame conditions without requiring significant modification to the surrounding trim or framing.
