Troubleshooting
Strike plate doesn't align with the door latch.
Check if the 'lip strike' measurement matches your door frame's mortise. Minor adjustments to the door frame mortise may be necessary, or you may need to re-evaluate if this is the correct strike plate size for your application.
Screws don't tighten properly.
Ensure the screw holes in the door frame are not stripped. If they are, you may need to use slightly larger screws or wood filler to repair the holes before re-installing.
The gold finish appears to be chipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation is designed to be simple. Align the new strike plate with the existing mortise on your door frame. Use a screwdriver to remove the old strike plate and secure the new one with the included mounting screws. Ensure the screws are tightened firmly but do not overtighten, which could strip the wood.
Compatibility: This strike plate is designed to replace standard door strike plates. The key measurement for compatibility is the 'lip strike' size, which is the distance from the center of the mounting holes to the edge of the lip. Before purchasing, measure your existing strike plate's lip strike to ensure it matches the product's specifications.
Care: To maintain the gold finish, clean the strike plate with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the coating. For stubborn marks, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by drying with a soft cloth.
