Product description
Five complete deadbolt strike plates with built-in dust boxes are included in this kit, plus ten matching screws for immediate installation. The package is intended to supply enough hardware to update several doors or keep spares on hand for future repairs.
Each plate is manufactured from thickened stainless steel for improved strength and long-term corrosion resistance. The material is waterproof and designed to withstand exposure to rain, snow, and humidity without rusting or losing shape. The finish is a bright silver tone that complements most door trim.
The strike plate dimensions are 1-1/8" x 2-3/4", a common standard for residential deadbolts, and the dust box fits inside the jamb cutout to protect the deadbolt cavity from wood shavings, grit, and debris. That protection helps the bolt move freely and reduces wear on the lock mechanism.
These plates are intended to increase the bearing surface behind the deadbolt, dispersing force from attempted kick-ins and reducing the chance of the door frame splitting. They are a simple, affordable reinforcement for both interior and exterior doors.
Installation requires basic tools and some drilling to fit the dust box and align screw holes. The set is suitable for front and back entry doors, garages, apartments, and offices; however, buyers should compare the plate dimensions and screw hole spacing to their existing strike to confirm compatibility prior to installation.
Pros
- Thick stainless steel resists rust and deformation
- Built-in dust box protects lock cavity from debris
- Five plates plus ten screws provide value and spares
Cons
- Requires drilling and some carpentry for proper fit
- May not match nonstandard or older mortise dimensions
- Standard finish may not suit every decorative scheme
VerdictA practical, long-lasting set for homeowners or property managers who want to reinforce multiple doors and prevent dust from fouling deadbolts. The thick stainless construction and included dust cups and screws make it a straightforward security and maintenance upgrade. Measure your existing cutouts before installing to ensure compatibility.

Sturdy Stainless Set — Good for Multiple Doors
I used this five-pack to update several exterior and interior frames. The plates feel solid and match common prep sizes. Installation was straightforward and the dust boxes give a tidy finished look. Overall a durable, practical set that makes it easy to standardize hardware across the house.

Handy Supply, But Check Your Measurements
Having five plates is useful when outfitting multiple rooms or keeping extras. The pieces are well made and the dust box cleans up the opening nicely. The included screws are convenient, but you should verify the 1-1/8" x 2-3/4" size against your existing cutouts because strike plates aren’t always interchangeable.

Basic, Heavy-Duty Plates
Nothing flashy — just sturdy metal strike plates that fit as expected. They’re the right thickness and hold up well. If you need simple, dependable replacements, these do the job.

Solid Upgrade That Looks Professional
These strike plates feel heavier and more durable than the originals on our doors. The stainless finish looks clean once installed, and the dust box hides the frame opening for a neater appearance. Installation was easy and the bolts now move smoothly; good for replacing worn hardware and reinforcing frames.

Dust Box Is the Key Feature for Dry, Dusty Areas
I needed a solution for locks that clogged with desert dust. The plate and dust cup arrived protected and undamaged; screws are the right length for deadbolts. I discovered my previous plates used a different mortise style, so they weren’t a direct swap, but the kit itself is solid and well-made.
