Is the striker plate a tripping hazard?
In over 15 years of use, there has NEVER been any problem with tripping with the Power Wedge. The striker plate’s upturned lip must be shorter than the exterior door’s threshold for the door to swing over, and at the edge of door (people usually walk through the center of the door). The striker plate is very close to the threshold, and the lip is turned towards the threshold making it difficult for someone to trip on it. The exterior door threshold is a much LARGER tripping hazard, and people learn to step over the thresholds very quickly. As stated in the installation instructions, the upturned lip on the striker plate can be slightly bent downward to allow for shorter thresholds.
