If your lock latches to a mechanism that's mounted to the door's surface instead of in the door jamb, select this strike plate. It regulates access to doors by holding or releasing a lock's latch with a signal from a push-button switch, keypad control, or card reader. Strike plates must be hardwired.

When replacing an electric strike plate, first select one that will work with your lock type so that the latch will align properly with the plate. Next, choose a strike plate that can accommodate your latch bolt projection (how far the latch bolt extends from the door's edge). Then, match the size of the strike plate to your door frame cutout. If you don't find an exact match, choose a strike plate with a smaller size than your cutout.
