Product Details

The StrikeMaster II Pro stops home invasions by preventing door kick-ins. FBI statistics show that the majority of home break-ins are caused by burglars kicking in the door. Unless extra reinforcement is taken to strengthen the door frame, a forced entry of kick-in burglary will split open the wooded door frame around the lock. StrikeMaster II Pro provides real protection. It's the easiest to install door jamb and hinge reinforcement product available. Its 4 ft. of customized steel turns soft wood door frame casing into solid steel. The StrikeMaster II Pro's patent pending double steel plate design along with extra long screws, bite into the wall studs surrounding the door frame reinforcing the casing and door hinges. Now, the StrikeMaster II Pro comes with the Door Edge Pro which reinforces the door and keeps it from spliting during kick-in attempts. The StrikeMaster II Pro has been installed on thousands of homes without a single failure. It does not require additional locking devices. It is powder coated white to match most homeowners' trim color or can be painted to match any decor. The average homeowner can install it in less than 30 minutes. No cutting or removal of the door casing is necessary. The StrikeMaster II Pro will fit any outside door frame including doors with side-lights and double entry doors. Also repairs and strengthens already broken door frames.

Q:Can this be installed on a metal door?
by|Oct 20, 2020
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Yes, it can be installed on wood casings where the door is metal. If both the door and casing are metal, then you probably do not need it as the casing will not crack apart around the hinges or locks when kicked.

Q:Can this be installed over existing strike plates or does it need to take the place of the existing one?
by|Apr 9, 2020

Answer This Question

A:  No. The instructions say to remove the strike plates.

by|Jul 31, 2020

    A:  You will need to either remove your old strike plate or possibly cut off the curved portion of your plate.

    by|Jun 24, 2020

    A:  This product works best when installed as new hardware. The old strike plate is not really needed.

    by|Jul 21, 2020

    A:  Maybe, if you drill holes so the screw holes line up. But if not just pull that sucker off and put this one in. This one is plenty strong.

      Simply a rugged design, easy to install and seems like it could stop a tank.

      nothing else does what this gives
      I installed these on my prior Houston home where there is increasing home front door kick in, invasions. I moved and it was on my first order of business on my new home. Some say its not easy to install. I would not fault the maker, for non standard doors. I do empathize if one encounters obstacles. The strength in this product is the two piece design without alteration. I recommend retro fitting the install with the two screws they suggest. There are no shortcuts in carpentey nor good security. Our metal doors are 25 yrs old, but it is always the wood trim and screws you have NO idea what is behind it...or isnt! I just found my new home only had 3/4” screws on the frame side! Pick me up off the floor! And we had a custom builder! My prior home had NO wood behind the exterior trim...ghast. I had to install shims with glue to have a rigid place to install screws. I used 4” screws here to make sure it reached the frame...and it did. Any time you make a modification to a home, you are likely going to find something non standard (changes over time) or something substandard and needs repair. THIS is your home...its a blessing to go agead and correct these things then Install this product. Think about how you will feel - God forbid - your door is ever tested for real...keep in mind what you need to prevent and you will be very pleased that you took the time to work through your door’s needs. Once you correct things, the install will go smoothly. Have a very good drill for the initial screws, and a good grip phillips for the tightening. I get old cups or coffee filters to keep my screws together and easy to carry in event I need to stop. Read and reread your instructions and get comfortable with the objective. Dont be afraid to admit if its over your comfort level - thats for contractors — No shame in that!

        This product should be marked for external doors only. I found it only mediocre in protecting the door frame.

        My husband purchased one of these reinforcements a year ago and installed it on one of our doors. We liked it so much that I ordered two more. He easily installed all of them himself with little or no trouble. Before they were installed the doors seemed to fit securely but there was a bit of "jiggle"room and it would not have taken much to kick them in. The doors fit more securely now with these reinforcements in place...no more "jiggle" and we feel a bit safer.

        Doesn't fit all doors
        I tried this product today. The 90 degree bend on the Strike Master hardware was too wide of a width and split the door trim while installing. The hardware and door was pretty messed up after the install and didn't allow for closure of the door. I had to remove this product and now I'm looking at repairing the door trim. I have contacted the Strike Master about the install today, but their won't be a resolution to this problem unless the door is modified or the product is modified.

        Increases confidence about being away
        It took less than an hour to install. I didn't test the door by trying to kick it in, but I know it will be a whole lot more difficult now. I also installed a double cylinder deadbolt lock and a camera, both also purchased at Home Depot.

        FAILED!!
        I installed this product after a break-in. on the 15th of July. My house was again broken into on the 24th of July. They probably had to kick the door a couple more times but it did not keep them out. it is now shaped like an 's' from Kiss' logo. Did not work.

        Very Good product, fairly easy to install.
        I liked it so much I purchased 3 more. Solves splintered or cracked wood around your frame and the bonus is it ads a lot of strength & security. May require a small amount of filing were the deadbolt goes in. A couple of my doors did and a couple did not. Also you need to cut off the strike plate lip flush were the doorknob bolt enters the frame to make this fit over it. Otherwise it is fairly easy to install. Price is a bit high but it is a lot easier than replacing your frames.
