I have an old Corbin night latch but I need a strike plate for it, I am using one from a newer lock, but, it doesn't look right since the lock is black and the strike plate is gold. I was wondering if someone here has an old black night latch strike plate they don't need that they could sell me?
I have never understood this... Why are people so obsessed with the APPEARANCE of their lock...
If all you are concerned with its color, then clean it really well with something like acetone, then prime it with a metal grade primer paint, then finsh off with BLACK metal paint...
As far as locks go, its not how it looks that keeps the bad guys out, it is how the thing works...

Tell that to the missus ;)
The same reason the appearance of all the other hardware matters. It will make or break the appearance of a house.
How it looks is nevertheless important try to tell someone you are selling one to otherwise.
Or the strike black. Use epoxy paint or apliance paint. It's durable.
plate
right
don't
It's durable.
figured that the paint on the lock may hold up better then paint on strike. but what do I know ? :-)
You're right it would.
Depends on the customer
God is in the details. and besides i thought locks only kept the honest people honest ;)
