Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this compatible with all Upvc doors?
It is designed for standard Upvc door profiles, but it is specifically intended for single slot shoot bolt systems. Always check your existing plate dimensions.
Can I use this for French doors?
Yes, this striker is suitable for both standard residential doors and French door shoot bolt systems.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will typically only require a screwdriver that matches the existing screw heads.
Does it come with mounting screws?
The product focuses on the striker plate itself; it is recommended to use the existing screws if they are in good condition.
How do I know if my shoot bolt is a single slot type?
Inspect your current striker plate; if it features a single rectangular opening for the shoot bolt to enter, it is a single slot type.
Troubleshooting
Bolt does not align with the striker slot
Check if the door has dropped or shifted on its hinges; adjust the hinges first before realigning the striker plate.
Resistance when turning the key
Ensure the striker plate is not screwed too tightly, which may cause slight distortion, and check for any debris inside the slot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning installation, ensure the door is fully closed and the shoot bolt is retracted. Remove the old striker plate by unscrewing the existing fixings. Align the new Lockmaster Milamaster plate with the existing screw holes and the bolt path, ensuring the slot is perfectly centered with the bolt projection. Hand-tighten the screws to avoid cracking the surrounding Upvc profile. For maintenance, it is recommended to periodically wipe away debris or dirt from the bolt slot and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to ensure the bolt slides in and out without friction.
