    Abstract: A door jamp reinforcement plate includes an elongate support plate having an L-shaped cross section with a first side to overlap the inside of a door jamb and a second side to overlap the front of a door jamb, and a plurality of vertically arrayed punch-out tabs located along a length of the first side that may be selectively punched out to facilitate alignment with the striker or bolt of each door lock.
