Alaks Adjustable Door Strike Plate
Precision Solution for Eliminating Play and Re‑Aligning Aluminum Hinged Doors
One of the most common issues in aluminum hinged doors is the appearance of play, sash looseness, reduced locking pressure and loss of sealing performance after a few years of operation. This usually occurs due to sash drop, frame settlement, or hardware wear.
The Alaks Adjustable Door Strike Plate is a fully engineered component designed precisely to solve this problem. Thanks to its millimetric adjustment capability, it allows you to fine‑tune the distance between sash and frame, ensuring the door always closes tight, without play, and 100% properly engaged.
How Does the Alaks Adjustable Door Strike Plate Work?
By means of its adjustment slot / precise regulating mechanism, this strike plate enables:
- Correction of the engagement distance between the lock latch and the frame
- Elimination of play that has developed over time
- Fine adjustment of compression on the sealing gaskets for proper airtightness
- Compensation of sash drop without moving the main lock or drilling new holes
This feature significantly extends the service life of the hardware and restores the door’s performance to its original level.

FAQs:
1. What does “adjustable” strike plate mean?
It means that the installation position of the strike plate on the frame can be adjusted by a few millimeters, allowing you to precisely align sash and frame so that the door closes tightly without play.
2. Is the Alaks strike plate suitable for UPVC profiles?
No. This model is specifically designed for aluminum profiles; its dimensions and geometry are not compatible with UPVC profile grooves.
3. When should an adjustable strike plate be used?
-
When there is play in the sash
- When the door does not fully lock
- When the sash has dropped
- When airtightness / water‑tightness has decreased
- During regular maintenance (typically every 3–5 years)
4. Is installation difficult?
Installation is very simple and requires only two screws. All adjustments are carried out by shifting the strike plate a few millimeters, without removing the espagnolette or main lock.
