40mm strike plate defines this Sugatsune America part as a compact strike for lock and latch setups where size matters around cabinet doors. The 40mm length manages contact with the dead bolt so the latch engages consistently at the cabinet opening. The 7mm high dimension sets the step the dead bolt meets, which influences how the bolt seats and how the door positions when locked. Nickel finish on this strike plate provides a clean, neutral appearance that works with many cabinet and fixture finishes in woodworking projects. As a product in the Locks and Latches category, this strike plate works as the fixed counterpart to a dead bolt in the locking assembly, supporting repeatable locking action. Classified under lock accessories, it plays a supporting role around the primary lock, letting installers address layout details that affect daily operation.
The 40mm strike plate length helps installers plan mounting relative to the cabinet opening, giving a predictable span for dead bolt contact. With a 15.5mm measurement referenced, the plate footprint can be considered where stile or frame width is tight, reducing interference with nearby details. The 7mm high strike step defines the vertical offset at the contact point, which relates directly to how far the dead bolt projects past the lock body. Nickel finish offers a smooth metal surface for the bolt to meet, supporting consistent movement with ordinary lock use. As a Sugatsune America strike, part LA-16 aligns with their lock systems that use a separate strike, giving a named component to match to documented locking layouts.
This strike plate is described as optional for applications where the dead bolt is close to the cabinet edge, indicating its geometry works where standard strikes may not suit those layouts. The 40mm length helps position the strike along narrow frames without overwhelming the available stile width, which can be important at tight edges. The 15.5mm dimension helps the plate sit within limited face space near the door gap, influencing how much material remains around screw locations on the cabinet member. The 7mm high step offers a defined landing height so the dead bolt meets the strike without needing excess projection, which is useful where the lock body sits near the front of a cabinet. As an optional component for inset applications, the strike supports setups where the door face aligns with the frame, allowing installers to account for that flush condition when aligning the dead bolt to the plate.
The 40mm strike plate length establishes a stable contact zone for the dead bolt, reducing sensitivity to small alignment shifts during cabinet construction. The specified 7mm high dimension defines how the bolt enters the strike, which influences the feel of locking action and helps the bolt seat in a predictable location. Nickel finish offers a hard, consistent surface for the bolt to work against, which supports steady engagement when the cabinet is opened and closed repeatedly. As a strike in the Sugatsune America lock accessories line, LA-16 works as a coordinated part in a locking system where component naming matters for matching to drawings or schedules. The notation that it is optional for certain dead bolt positions and inset layouts signals that it serves as a problem-solver component around edge and flush-door conditions, giving installers a specific plate when those layouts arise.
The 40mm strike plate has a 40mm length, a referenced 15.5mm plate dimension, and a 7mm high strike step, which together define its footprint and contact height for cabinet lock layouts.
The 40mm strike plate is described for applications where the dead bolt is close to the cabinet edge, so its geometry supports lock layouts in tight frame areas.
The strike plate is identified as optional for inset applications, so its dimensions support layouts where the cabinet door face aligns flush with the surrounding frame.
The 40mm strike plate uses a nickel finish, providing a neutral metallic appearance that coordinates with many lock and hinge finishes on cabinets.
The 7mm high strike surface sets the step the dead bolt meets, shaping how far the bolt must project and how the door positions when locked.
This Sugatsune America strike plate serves as a lock accessory, acting as the fixed point where the dead bolt engages in cabinet and furniture lock setups.
The 40mm strike plate, nickel, 7mm high LA-16 from Sugatsune America gives installers a defined solution for dead bolts placed close to cabinet edges or in inset door conditions. Its 40mm by referenced 15.5mm footprint and 7mm strike height support planning around tight frames, while the nickel finish coordinates with common cabinet hardware. For lock projects that call for a designated strike in the lock accessories class, this LA-16 part delivers a named component that aligns with documented Sugatsune lock layouts and helps standardize cabinet hardware choices.
