Strikemaster II Pro - New Shipment Just Arrived

Pictured here is a typical broken door frame/jamb, after a kick-in attack.

According to discussions I have personally had with members of local law enforcement agencies, this is the most typical method of break ins they come across.

Today, we received our first shipment of the new and improved Strikemaster II Pro door frame strengtheners.

In the second picture you can see the new version and how it looks when installed.

The new version includes an extended lip allowing better engagement of the entrance lock latch mechanism. It also includes a couple of knock out pieces for the deadbolt mechanism, to allow for varied installations (deadbolt is either fitted above or below a typical entrance set). Each unit still comes with ten (10) three inch (3") screws that connect the unit to the stud behind the frame.

I have been installing locks and systems for over 25 years in multiple countries across the world and typically, I have seen very similar entry techniques, just about everywhere.

Most entrance doors in the USA are metal clad wooden doors using typical key-in-knob entrance sets, sometimes with deadbolts also fitted above or below.

In cases of door frame failure (like pictured above), rarely has the actual door hardware failed. Even the cheap quality locksets can stand up to abuse, but the door strike (where the lock closes into) always seems to fail.

Using a Strikemaster II Pro, not only prevents door frame failure, but it repairs the damages often resulting from a kick-in.

Many door repairers will rarely quote to repair an existing door and frame because often the costs in labor are equivalent to or close to the costs of total replacement. Many door centers sell only complete doors and frames and they vary in cost from ~$500.00 for parts only. I have spoken with many builders and carpenters and builders about their average installation prices and the common reply is around $500.00 to $750.00 for labor.

The Strikemaster II Pro sells for $99.95 (plus tax). Installation usually takes a half hour with my installation and call out fee of $55.00.

Repairing your kicked-in door for less than $200.00 is smarter and more cost effective than a total door replacement.
