The Funny Carpenter

I scrapped the deadbolt strike plate repair video(it sucked). I ended up using a bigger plate and fixed the dent with bondo! This is the oversized plate I used: amzn.to/423QLVO Amazon Affiliate link.

I appreciate the update on your approach, and that you gave the update post-video. I’ve got to get my garage door closing better and a strike plate makeover will go a long way for me. The hard part is the old holes try to pull the new install back into the old flawed positioning.

I have a similar coming up project on my youtube channel because someone butchered the strike plate hole.

Wild that the paint is already wearing off the new strike plate. Amazon quality strikes again.
