Strike Plates for Cam, Deadbolt or Wardrobe Locks 7/8"W, Bright Nickel

Strike Plates For Cam Locks In Cabinetry

Strike plates for cam locks from CompX Timberline Lock give the cam, deadbolt, or wardrobe lock a defined bearing surface, so the latch or bolt meets metal instead of chewing into wood or panel material during repeated use. The L style shape with 1/2 lip presents a crisp edge for the lock bolt to catch, which helps the door or panel stop in the same position every time and supports consistent reveals across a run of cabinets or wardrobes. The 7/8 inch width provides a compact footprint at the door edge, so the plate supports the lock engagement without crowding nearby hardware layouts on narrow stiles. The bright nickel finish identifies the contact point clearly against most interior materials, which helps installers align the lock tongue or deadbolt during layout and drilling on site or at the bench.

Key Strike Plate Details That Support Lock Work

• This CompX Timberline strike plate is designed for use with cam, deadbolt, or wardrobe locks, so one part number can serve several common lock types in cabinet and wardrobe projects.
• The L style configuration with 1/2 lip positions the lip in front of the cabinet or wardrobe frame, creating a positive stop surface for the bolt that helps control door position.
• The 7/8 inch width keeps the plate narrow at the mounting surface, which is useful when working on slim face frames or partitions where space is tight around the lock cutout.
• The bright nickel finish gives the strike plate a clean metallic contact face, which resists visible wear better than a raw edge in wood where the bolt lands repeatedly.
• The strike plate is sold under manufacturer part number SP-101-1, which helps match it to drawings, cut lists, or replacement needs without confusion.

L Style Strike Plate Fit And Mounting Use

This L style strike plate with 1/2 lip is laid out so one leg mounts to the cabinet or wardrobe structure while the lip projects to capture the cam or deadbolt as the lock turns, which organizes the load into the frame instead of the panel edge. The 7/8 inch width gives enough surface for mounting and alignment around the lock centerline while staying compact on narrow frames. Strike plates are sold without screws and are intended for use with #6 x 1/2 inch panhead screws, so the mounting holes and plate thickness are suited to that screw diameter and head style in typical cabinet substrates.

Using SP-101-1 Strike Plates In Lock Projects

Where This SP-101-1 Strike Plate Fits Best

The SP-101-1 strike plate from CompX Timberline Lock is specified for use with cam locks, deadbolt locks, or wardrobe locks, so it fits naturally into furniture, closet, and cabinet projects that call for those lock styles. The L style geometry with 1/2 lip is suited to frames, dividers, or cabinet ends where the lip can sit just beyond the door or panel edge, allowing the cam or bolt to pull securely behind the lip when turned. The 7/8 inch width works well on typical cabinet face frames or wardrobe uprights, giving enough room to land both the screws and the lock contact point without overrunning narrow members. Its bright nickel finish coordinates visually with many bright metal lock faces from the same family, which keeps the lock front and strike contact point looking consistent when the door is open.

Details That Support Repeatable Lock Alignment

The defined 1/2 lip length gives a predictable engagement distance for the cam or deadbolt, which helps layout go faster because the installer can base the lock backset and door gap off that repeatable dimension. Using a dedicated strike plate instead of relying on the cabinet material at the closing edge puts a shaped bright nickel surface at the impact point, which helps the bolt slide into place smoothly and tolerate regular operation over time. The L style design forms a right angle, which helps the plate register square to both the frame and the door swing path, supporting cleaner reveals and reducing the chance of the bolt riding past the contact point. Because this part is defined as a strike plate for lock accessories under the Strikes product class, it slots naturally into lock schedules and hardware lists where each lock body is matched with a corresponding strike type.
