SP-181 strike plate is a CompX Timberline Lock strike designed for horizontal flipper and tambour door locks, so it provides the mating surface that lets the lock bolt engage and secure the door in the closed position. The part is classified as a strike in the locks and latches family, which means it works as the fixed component the lock interacts with during operation on cabinet or casework doors using this style of mechanism. The bright nickel finish on the strike creates a clean metal appearance that matches bright nickel lock bodies, so the hardware presents a consistent look across the front of the cabinet. The manufacturer part number SP-181-1 identifies this specific strike plate configuration, which helps match it to the correct horizontal flipper or tambour lock body in the CompX Timberline system.
The web description notes that SP-181 strike plates are sold without screws and specifies #6 x 1/2 inch flathead screws, so the mounting holes and thickness are laid out for this common screw size during installation. The reference to flathead screws indicates that the countersink in the plate is shaped for a flush flathead profile, so the screw heads sit level with the strike surface and do not interfere with the movement of the lock bolt. By calling out a 1/2 inch length for the #6 screws, the product description ties the strike plate thickness to typical cabinet material depths, supporting a bite that secures the plate while staying within standard panel builds.
The SAP description labels this part as a strike plate with an offset slot in bright nickel, so it is intended for lock layouts where the bolt does not land at the centerline of the opening and needs a shifted target face. This offset arrangement helps when the horizontal flipper or tambour door track places the door in front of or behind the lock body, because the slot can be positioned relative to that door path while the body stays fixed to the cabinet. Being described as for use with horizontal flipper and tambour door locks, the strike aligns with the travel and final stop of sliding or retracting doors, so the latch engagement stays consistent after repeated openings and closings.
The CompX Timberline Lock branding connects the SP-181 strike plate to the Timberline lock family, so it fits the dimensional and functional expectations of that system on office or cabinet furniture using these door styles. The bright nickel surface noted in the descriptions provides a metal tone that tracks with bright nickel Timberline lock cylinders, allowing door edges and lock faces to present a unified finish on visible installations. As part of the locks and latches product class under lock accessories, SP-181 takes the role of the fixed striker in the overall hardware set, giving installers a defined component when laying out new casework or matching an existing Timberline-based layout.
The specific manufacturer part number SP-181-1 ties this strike plate to the offset slot bright nickel variant, so each time this number is used the installer receives the same geometry and finish, supporting repeatable cutout patterns on multiple cabinets. The offset slot characteristic described in the SAP text allows the strike opening to be aligned with the lock bolt without moving the lock body, so small layout adjustments can be handled at the strike location instead of reworking the main door or cabinet bore. Because the product is defined as a strike plate for horizontal flipper and tambour door locks, its proportions and working area are set up to accept the bolt throw from these mechanisms, reducing trial-and-error positioning on sliding door projects.
The indication that strike plates are sold without screws, paired with the callout for #6 x 1/2 inch flathead screws, sets a clear expectation about the mounting interface, so shop drawings and field notes can specify the same screw standard wherever SP-181 is used. This clarity around screw size and head style supports consistent seating of the strike against wood or panel materials during installation, which in turn keeps the lock bolt landing squarely in the slot over time. Being categorized under locks and latches as a lock accessory also signals that SP-181 is meant to complete a locking assembly rather than serve as a general-purpose plate, so project lists can distinguish it as the strike dedicated to the CompX Timberline flipper and tambour solutions.
The SP-181 strike plate is described for use with horizontal flipper and tambour door locks, so it matches the bolt location and travel typical to these sliding or retracting door mechanisms.
The SP-181 strike plate has an offset slot, which shifts the engagement opening away from center so the lock bolt can meet the strike when the lock body and door are not perfectly centered.
The SP-181 strike plate is described as using #6 x 1/2 inch flathead screws, so its holes and countersinks are arranged for that screw size and head profile in typical cabinet materials.
The SP-181 strike plate is described as bright nickel, so its visible surface matches bright nickel lock trim and complements other bright nickel cabinet hardware on the same installation.
The SP-181 strike plate carries manufacturer part number SP-181-1 and a SAP description of strike plate, offset slot, bright nickel, so it is uniquely identified within the CompX Timberline Lock line.
The SP-181 strike plate is classified as a strike in the locks and latches product class, so it serves as the fixed contact point where the lock bolt seats to hold the door closed.
The SP-181 strike plate from CompX Timberline Lock combines an offset slot layout, bright nickel finish, and #6 x 1/2 inch flathead screw interface, so it aligns with horizontal flipper and tambour door locks that depend on this geometry and look. By using the SP-181-1 part number and the described lock accessories classification, projects that already specify Timberline hardware can extend the same strike solution across cabinets, credenzas, or other flipper and tambour door units.
