A heavy-duty strike plate helps strengthen door frames better than a regular strike plate. A strike plate is the jamb-fastening that receives the deadbolt in the locking position. A heavy-duty plate uses four to six 3-inch screws, which added much needed strength to your exterior doors. A heavy-duty strike plate will strengthen the door jamb and reinforce the deadbolt lock.
Here are some deadbolt lock tips from the home security experts at US Alarm:
Make sure the cylinder guard must is tapered, round, and free-spinning. There should be at least a five-pin tumbler system or equivalent locking device. The connecting screws that hold the lock together must be on the inside and made of case hardened steel. The connecting screws must be at least one-fourth inch in diameter and go into solid metal stock, not screw posts.
