I am posting this blog for customers who have purchased or are purchasing the Keefe 300 Strike Plate. According to people who have called me from all over the country this product cannot be found for purchase anywhere.

The strike installation requires a router, router guide, 3/8″ end-mill for the router and a router template. A few customers have purchased the 300 strike to install by hand, this job is possible with a removable door stop. Most doors I run into have a rabbited jamb with a magnetic or pressure-seal weather-stripping. I cannot imagine installing a 300 strike by hand in this type of door frame.

For now I am shipping an outline of the router template so customers can make their own or have one made. In the future I may have disposable templates available.

There are many steps to installing this strike plate. I have used many photos from different jobs to demonstrate each step.
