6 common questions on deadbolt strike plates.

The front door to your residence can take many forms. It might be made of solid wood, fiberglass or metal, each with its own pros and cons.

When it comes to security, you may be asking yourself what other measures can I take -- besides the door itself -- to ensure my front door is adequately prepared in the event of a burglary?

While the door's lock is important, you should also be aware of the "strike plate." This small piece of metal acts as a housing for your deadbolt and may be the single most important defense against a front door home invasion. With more than one million residential burglaries each year, the door "kick in" is a commonly used tactic by many burglars. That's why a deadbolt strike plate is fundamental to better home security.
