SP-255 strike plate is a Z shape strike designed for use with cam or deadbolt locks, so it provides a defined locking point that matches those lock bodies and helps the bolt seat in the same spot every time. The bright nickel finish identifies it quickly as part of CompX Timberline Lock hardware, which helps maintain visual consistency across related locking points on a project. The strike plate sits at a 3/16 dp, creating a set depth for the cam or deadbolt throw, which supports repeatable installations across multiple doors or drawers using the same hardware layout. As part of the strikes product class, this component works as the fixed contact piece in the lock system, letting the moving cam or deadbolt engage a stable edge. In everyday use, that fixed edge helps the door or panel stay closed to the same line whenever the lock is turned.
This strike plate works with cam or deadbolt locks, so it becomes the fixed part of the locking pair where the moving cam or bolt meets its stop. The Z shape layout provides an offset surface that lets the installer position the engaging edge to meet the lock throw path while the rest of the plate rests on the mounting surface. With a defined 3/16 dp, the strike plate gives a predictable seating depth for the lock throw, which simplifies laying out repeated lock locations on runs of cabinetry or casework. As a strike in the Locks and Latches category, it fills the role of a stable contact point that accepts the load when the cam or deadbolt is turned into place.
This Z shape strike plate, identified as SP-255 strike plate and part of the strikes product class, serves as the opposing surface for cam or deadbolt locks. The Z profile creates a stepped configuration so one leg can sit on the mounting surface while the offset leg presents the contact edge to the lock throw, helping the cam or bolt meet solid material instead of the cabinet body. Because it is part of the CompX Timberline Lock family, this strike plate is suited to applications where that brand of lock hardware is used across doors, drawers, or panels that share the same design language. When installed, the strike plate defines where the locking point occurs along the frame or cabinet side, helping each cam or deadbolt throw land onto metal rather than wood, which helps maintain a more consistent closing line over time.
The 3/16 dp noted for this Z shape strike sets the distance the cam or deadbolt can travel into the strike before it stops, which helps installers keep the turning feel of each lock similar when repeating SP-255 strike plate across a bank of doors. Using a bright nickel strike plate in the CompX Timberline Lock system keeps the visible portions of the locking hardware in the same finish, so when doors are open the lock and strike read as a matched set. The dedicated design for cam or deadbolt locks means the working face of the strike aligns with the shape and motion of those lock types, helping the bolt or cam rest against a predictable face that resists wear and holds the door or drawer to its intended closed position.
The SP-255 strike plate is for use with cam or deadbolt locks, so it pairs with those lock types to give the moving cam or bolt a defined metal contact surface.
The Z shape strike plate offsets the contact surface from the mounting surface, so the cam or deadbolt meets the strike where the door or drawer closes instead of directly at the frame edge.
The 3/16 dp value specifies how deep the cam or deadbolt can seat into the strike plate, which helps produce a consistent lock throw feel across similar installations.
The bright nickel strike plate finish aligns with CompX Timberline Lock components, so visible strike surfaces match other bright nickel hardware used on the same casework.
This strike plate, in the strikes product class, serves as the fixed contact point the cam or deadbolt turns against, holding the door or panel in its locked position.
The SP-255 strike plate provides a defined 3/16 dp and consistent Z shape geometry, supporting uniform lock alignment and feel across multiple similar doors or drawers.
The SP-255 strike plate, specified for use with cam or deadbolt locks, offers a Z shape layout and 3/16 dp that create a repeatable lock engagement point along cabinet or frame edges. The bright nickel finish coordinates with CompX Timberline Lock components, keeping hardware appearance consistent wherever this strike is used. For projects that standardize on this brand and style of lock, choosing this strike plate helps align the locking contact surfaces and engagement depth from one opening to the next.
