DOOR STRIKE
Described is a strike plate assembly for installing in a door frame and methods thereof. The strike plate assembly may include a first member and a second member. When installed, the first member may be attached to a first door fame surface via a first attachment member and the second member may be attached to a second door frame surface via a second attachment member such that the strike plate assembly may be easily movable along the door frame.
1 . A strike plate assembly configured to be installed in a door frame comprising:
a first member comprising:
a first surface;
a second surface opposite the first surface;
at least one first attachment member disposed on the second surface; and
at least one aperture;
a second member comprising:
a first surface;
a second surface opposite the first surface; and
at least one second attachment member disposed on the second surface;
a cover member positioned on the second surface of the first member such that the cover member substantially covers the at least one aperture;
wherein the first member is positioned substantially perpendicular to the second member; and
wherein, when installed, the at least one first attachment member attaches the first member to a door frame first surface, and the at least one second attachment member attaches the second member to a door frame second surface.
2 . The strike plate assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a gasket disposed on the door frame, wherein, when installed, the gasket contacts the first member.
3 . The strike plate assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first member has a first length and the second member has a second length, and the first length is greater than the second length.
4 . The strike plate assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first member comprises two first attachment members.
5 . The strike plate assembly of claim 4 , wherein one of the two first attachment members is positioned above the at least one aperture and another of the two first attachment members is positioned below the at least one aperture.
6 . The strike plate assembly of claim 1 , wherein each of the at least one first attachment member and the at least one second attachment member is an adhesive attachment.
7 . The strike plate assembly of claim 1 , wherein, when installed, the cover member is positioned within the at least one aperture.
8 . A strike plate assembly for a door frame comprising:
a first member positioned substantially perpendicular to a second member;
wherein the first member comprises:
an exterior surface;
an interior surface opposite the exterior surface;
at least one aperture;
wherein the second member comprises:
an exterior surface;
an interior surface opposite the exterior surface; and
wherein an angle between the first member and the second member is approximately 90 degrees.
9 . The strike plate assembly of claim 8 , further comprising a gasket disposed on the door frame, wherein, when installed, the gasket contacts the first member.
10 . The strike plate assembly of claim 8 , wherein the first member has a first length and the second member has a second length, and the first length is greater than the second length.
11 . The strike plate assembly of claim 8 , wherein the first member comprises two first attachment members.
12 . The strike plate assembly of claim 11 , wherein one of the two first attachment members is positioned above the at least one aperture and another of the two first attachment members is positioned below the at least one aperture.
13 . The strike plate assembly of claim 8 , wherein an adhesive attachment is configured to join the interior surface of the first member and the interior surface of the second member to the door frame.
14 . A method for installing a strike plate assembly comprising a first member having at least one aperture, a second member positioned substantially perpendicular the first member, and at least one attachment member, on a door frame comprising:
forming an aperture within a surface of the door frame;
positioning the strike plate assembly on the door frame such that the at least one aperture is positioned over the aperture formed within the door frame; and
applying pressure to the strike plate assembly to secure the strike plate assembly to the door frame via the at least one attachment member.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the at least one attachment member includes at least one first attachment member disposed on the first member, and at least one second attachment member disposed on the second member.
16 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising positioning a cover member within the aperture formed within the door frame.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein each of the at least one first attachment member and the at least one second attachment member is an adhesive attachment.
16 . The method of claim 14 , wherein positioning the strike plate assembly on the door frame includes positioning the first member of the strike plate assembly on the door frame.
17 . The method of claim 14 , wherein applying pressure to the strike plate assembly includes applying pressure to a surface of the first member to secure the first member to a door frame first surface.
18 . The method of claim 14 , wherein applying pressure to the strike plate assembly includes applying pressure to a surface of the second member to secure the second member to a door frame second surface.
