SP-258 strike plate is a CompX Timberline Lock strike designed as an extended Z shape part in black, so it works as a defined locking point for compatible cam or deadbolt locks. The Z shape configuration creates a formed lip, which gives the cam or bolt a consistent edge to engage against, reducing play in the locked position. The 1/4 DP detail in the description indicates a quarter-depth geometry in the formed area, which affects how far the cam or bolt travels before seating, useful when matching lock throw to frame or cabinet reveals. As a lock accessory in the strikes product class, this part focuses on the receiving side of the lock, so you can build or retrofit cases where the lock body is already chosen and you need a strike that matches its working motion.
The web description specifies that this strike plate is for use with cam or deadbolt locks, which directs it toward installations where the rotating cam or sliding bolt must land on a formed metal edge rather than raw wood. Strike plates are stated as sold without screws, so #6 x 1/2 panhead screws from separate stock align with the installation guidance in the description. Using the called-out #6 diameter and 1/2 inch length keeps the fasteners proportional to the strike size while limiting penetration into thinner cabinet members. The panhead style referenced in the description provides a broader bearing surface on the strike plate holes, which helps clamp the plate flat against the mounting surface and supports repeatable lock engagement.
The SP-258 strike plate is identified as part of the CompX Timberline Lock line, positioning it alongside locks used in woodworking-focused applications. As a strike plate in the Strikes product class, it serves as the fixed counterpart to a cam or deadbolt lock in cabinet, case, or panel layouts. The extended Z shape described in the SAP text indicates an offset profile that can align a door or drawer front to a case edge while still presenting a positive stop for the cam or bolt. That offset geometry helps when the jamb or frame is not flush with the door surface, so the lock still lands firmly. The 1/4 DP note ties the strike depth to quarter-depth geometry, which supports predictable contact between the moving lock part and the strike lip across multiple installations.
Using a strike described as extended Z shape means the offset and depth are built into the plate, reducing layout adjustments in the field once the lock centerline is planned. The stated 1/4 DP depth supports repeatable lock engagement because the cam or deadbolt travel is constrained by a known geometry, which can reduce rattle or partial engagement. The black designation in the product name gives a predictable finish color, which helps maintain a consistent visual line of hardware across a bank of cabinets that use dark or contrasting components. Referencing the product as a lock accessory and specifically as a strike plate for cam or deadbolt locks makes its purpose clear in a hardware schedule, so installers can specify it alongside lock bodies without guessing at its role in the assembly.
The SP-258 strike plate is specified for use with cam or deadbolt locks, so it provides the fixed contact point these lock types need for a secure locking position.
The extended Z shape on the SP-258 strike plate creates an offset lip, allowing the cam or deadbolt to engage even when the door or panel sits offset from the frame.
The 1/4 DP detail indicates a quarter-depth feature in the strike plate geometry, affecting how far the cam or deadbolt travels before seating into the strike.
The SP-258 strike plate is listed under Locks and Latches as a lock accessory because it serves as the stationary receiving component for a cam or deadbolt lock.
The SP-258 strike plate description calls for #6 x 1/2 inch panhead screws, which match the scale of the plate and provide a secure clamping surface.
The SP-258 black strike plate is a CompX Timberline Lock product, aligning it with their cam and deadbolt lock offerings for woodworking-related projects.
The SP-258 strike plate, with its extended Z shape and 1/4 DP geometry, gives cam and deadbolt locks from the CompX Timberline Lock line a defined landing point in black. As a strike within the Locks and Latches, Lock Accessories category, it fits projects that already rely on this brand of hardware. Specifying the SP-258-3 part number and the recommended #6 x 1/2 panhead screws ties the receiving side of the lock directly to the lock body choice, so your cabinet or casework layout maintains consistent engagement across each opening.
