How secure is the deadbolt latch and the strike?
The AP501 comes with the industry-standard 1-inch throwbolt (the part of the deadbolt that protrudes from the lock). It also has a 3-part strike assembly: strike plate, strike lining box, and door frame reinforcer. The door frame reinforcer strengthens the door frame so that it can withstand a greater level of force exerted from the outside. The strike lining box, also called a dust box, keeps dust out of the strike chamber so that the throwbolt can enter the strike chamber without impediment. The strike plate is the cover but it also adds to the strength of the door frame.
