• Is Strike Plate Available for "Junior" Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch
  I checked to see if we had any strike plates that would work with the "Junior" Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch # L1883 and while we don't, I was able to see that the Global Link Replacement Strike Plate # 295-000022 was really close to working and it has an opening of 11/16" wide. I don't think another 1/16" would cut it so I'd say look for one that has at least a 7/8" opening.

A different option would be the Paneloc Slam Latch #...
