Abstract: The disclosed improved striker fastening plate and method consists of a striker fastening plate, a recoiling guided stop plate and a biasing means, which functions as a method for resisting kick-in and pry-in attempts to, without authorization, enter into a property. This is accomplished when the force from an entry attempt activates the recoiling guided stop plate. As the recoiling guided stop plate moves away from the source of the force, the biasing means is activated to absorb the shock or movement caused by the force, stores it as energy and releases it back toward it's source, returning the recoiling stop plate back to it's original position, thus maintaining a securely locked door or portal.
