SP-251 strike plate black is a U shape strike plate designed for use with deadbolt locks, so it provides the fixed catch point the deadbolt needs to secure a cabinet or door in normal operation. The strike plate belongs to the strikes product class, which means it acts as the mating component for the lock bolt and supports consistent latching every time the lock is turned. The black finish follows the Web Description as a black strike plate, so it visually matches other dark lock trim while keeping the lock area looking uniform on the finished job. The strike plate is part of the CompX Timberline Lock family, giving installers a clearly identified match when laying out hardware around Timberline deadbolt locks in cabinetry or casework. The SAP description lists a 3/8 DP U shape, so the strike is formed to present a defined receptacle depth that receives the deadbolt and helps control the bolt engagement distance.
The Web Description directs using #6 x 1/2 panhead screws with this strike plate, so the mounting holes are sized for that screw gauge and head style, which helps the plate sit flat and stable on wood cabinet members. Because the plate is U shape with a 3/8 DP dimension noted in the SAP description, installers can align the open side with the path of a deadbolt and rely on the defined depth to position the door or drawer front relative to the jamb or case edge when the lock is thrown. Being described specifically as for use with deadbolt locks, the strike plate is suited to installations where the bolt travels straight into the strike pocket rather than into a simple flat keeper edge, supporting cleaner alignment in built-in woodworking applications.
The Web Description states this strike plate is for use with deadbolt locks, so it is intended for lock locations where a deadbolt needs a shaped receiver to hold the locked position on cabinets, furniture pieces, or similar constructions. As a product in the locks and latches category under lock accessories and strikes, it serves where an installer is outfitting a deadbolt system and needs the mating component that the bolt extends into on the frame or cabinet carcass. The branding as CompX Timberline Lock aligns the strike plate with Timberline deadbolt locks, which helps keep hardware selections consistent on projects that use Timberline components across several doors or compartments. Because the SAP description identifies it as U shape, the strike plate surrounds the bolt pocket on three sides and suits applications where that formed profile matches the edge detail of the cabinet part receiving the deadbolt.
The SAP Description lists this strike plate as U shape, 3/8 DP, so the working cavity for the deadbolt has a defined 3/8 inch depth that determines how far the bolt can project into the strike and how solidly the lock holds the door or panel. That U-shaped cavity provides guiding faces on three sides, helping the deadbolt enter the strike more consistently even if the door or drawer front is handled frequently, which supports repeatable locking action over time. Because the Web Description specifies that strike plates are sold without screws and calls out using #6 x 1/2 panhead screws, the mounting system relies on that screw size to clamp the plate tightly, limiting plate shift that could otherwise affect deadbolt alignment. As part of the strikes product class within lock accessories, this SP-251-3 component focuses solely on presenting the correct deadbolt pocket rather than adding extra latch features, which suits straightforward deadbolt-only installations where a dedicated receiver is preferred.

The strike plate U shape surrounds the deadbolt on three sides, guiding the bolt into the cavity and helping it seat in a consistent position when the lock is thrown.
The 3/8 DP notation indicates the formed depth of the deadbolt cavity, controlling how far the bolt projects into the strike and how firmly the door or panel is held.
