The 7440 series latch description states that " Keeper Plate Not Included". What is a keeper plate and where can I learn more about it? We have latches that keep breaking the rivets on our kit and I'm wondering if it might need a 'keeper plate'. Thank you.
Thank you for your enquiry.
A keeper plate is a plate that is fixed into the frame (desired position) that is aligned with the lockset in order to give the latch a place to sink into when the door closes.
I trust this helps and if you require any further guidance please do not hesiate to contact us to discuss further and possibly come up with a solutions.
