  • Patent number: 4813724
    Abstract: A self-adjusting door strike for a bolt assembly which adjusts to existing door conditions by deflecting a resilient member against the bolt of the door thereby eliminating rattle. The strike includes a conventional strike plate having a compensating member spanning the strike opening. The resilient compensating member can be in the form of a resilient plastic member or rollers axially mounted to a spring-wire. This compensating member engages the bolt to prevent the door and bolt mechanism from rattling within the strike while also compensating for shrinkage or warping of the door.
