Winter Security: Strike Plates for Chicago Businesses - Lock And Key Works

As winter approaches, Chicago businesses must prioritize their security to protect against potential threats. One often overlooked aspect of commercial security is the strike plate, a small but crucial component of any door's locking mechanism. At Lock And Key Works, our team of expert locksmiths understands the importance of strike plates in maintaining the integrity of your business's security. In this article, we'll explore the role of strike plates in winter security and how our services can help.

What are Strike Plates and Why are They Important?

Strike plates are the metal plates attached to the door frame, which the latch or bolt strikes when the door is closed. They play a critical role in ensuring the door's locking mechanism functions correctly. A weak or damaged strike plate can compromise the security of your business, making it easier for intruders to gain access. Our panic bar and exit device setup with strike plate reinforcements can help reinforce your business's doors and ensure they are secure.

Benefits of Strike Plate Reinforcement

Reinforcing your strike plates can have numerous benefits for your business's security. Some of these benefits include:

• Improved door security: Reinforced strike plates make it more difficult for intruders to force their way into your business.
• Reduced risk of damage: A strong strike plate can help prevent damage to your door and frame in the event of an attempted break-in.
• Compliance with regulations: In some cases, reinforced strike plates may be required to meet ADA-compliant strike plate installations or other regulatory standards.
