SP-251 strike plate bright nickel identifies this CompX Timberline Lock strike as a U-shape plate designed for use with deadbolt locks, so it serves as the fixed contact point that the deadbolt engages when the lock is thrown. The bright nickel finish on this strike plate provides a clean metal surface that visually coordinates with bright nickel lock fronts in cabinet or furniture projects, which helps maintain a consistent appearance across a run of doors. This strike plate is part of the Strikes product class under Locks and Latches, so it is intended to work as the receiving component in a lock set rather than as a standalone latch or bolt. The manufacturer part number SP-251-1 ties directly to CompX Timberline Lock documentation, which helps maintain part consistency when matching strikes to existing deadbolt bodies across multiple projects.
The web description states that these strike plates are sold without screws and specifies "Use #6 x 1/2" panhead screws," so mounting is planned around that screw size and head style instead of a flat or oval head. Using #6 diameter screws at 1/2 inch length pairs the strike plate to typical cabinet or light furniture material thicknesses, which helps seat the strike securely without over-penetrating thin stock. Specifying a panhead profile means the screw head sits on the strike surface rather than countersinking into it, which matches the strike hole design and helps clamp the plate evenly against the frame or stile during installation.
This SP-251 strike plate is identified "For use with deadbolt locks," so it is intended to install on the frame, cabinet side, or mating panel that receives a corresponding deadbolt from a CompX Timberline Lock body. The U shape noted in the SAP description provides a defined pocket for the deadbolt, so the bolt can project into the strike rather than just bearing on a flat plate, which supports a more positive engagement when the lock is thrown. With a specified 3/8 depth, the strike sets how far the deadbolt can travel into the opening, which affects how solid the door or panel feels when locked across multiple units in a bank of cabinets or casework. Being a Lock Accessories part in the Strikes product class, this component is planned as one element in a coordinated lock system, so installers can assign this strike to doors where a deadbolt function is needed and use other hardware types where only a latch is required.
The manufacturer part number SP-251-1 identifies a specific CompX Timberline Lock strike plate, so repeating this part number across orders keeps the same U shape and 3/8 depth whenever additional cabinets or matching replacements are needed. A consistent bright nickel finish across these strike plates helps rows of doors or drawers share the same appearance, which matters on projects where visible lock components need to match across an entire installation. Because the web description states that strike plates are sold without screws and calls out "Use #6 x 1/2" panhead screws," the mounting detail is standardized around that screw size, which supports consistent seating pressure and appearance from one opening to the next. Using the same strike specification wherever the same deadbolt lock type is used simplifies layout for machining or drilling patterns, which helps maintain uniform clearances between bolt, plate, and frame across a production run or on-site retrofit work.
The SP-251 strike plate bright nickel is described "For use with deadbolt locks," so it is intended to pair specifically with deadbolt mechanisms rather than with spring latches.
The SAP description "U SHAPE, 3/8 DP" indicates a U-shaped strike opening with a 3/8 depth, which sets how far the deadbolt projects into the plate when locked.

The web description states that strike plates are sold without screws and specifies "Use #6 x 1/2" panhead screws," so mounting is based on that screw size and head style.
