Armor Concepts Fix-A-Jamb 24" Interior Door Jamb Repair Kit (Aged Bronze)

Extremely simple and effective! Point of caution!!!!! Before you screw the plate in, i HIGHLY advise popping the door trim off and placing more shims between the stud and frame. The long screws will go into the stud and draw the frame in if there are not shims installed where its installed. Add some shims to fill the void, screw in the plate. Replace the trim. Easy peezy! Takes bout 5-10 minutes tops. When my door was busted it apparently damaged the door lock striker. It doesnt retract all the way when the knobs turned and is catching on the plate. Its not the plates fault if thats happening it means you probably need to also replace your damaged door knob mechanism. Just a heads up.

Very easy to install and fixed my door frame perfectly. It’s held up to the roughness of my kids and doesn’t look too bad either. I thought it was a little bit expensive but worth it in the end.

This does what it's supposed to do... strengthens an older door frame. However, I did have to make some modifications. There are only 4 holes and the 2x4s the screws are supposed to go into were not in the center of the bar, but rather about 1/4" from the edge, so I had to drill more holes. It would be a good suggestion to have more than 4 holes anyway and zig zag them a bit. Also, if your going to the extent of putting in this bar I would use at least 3 1/2" screws rather than the 2 1/2" screws provided. Other than that it works well, but this is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

Worth it!

If you’re looking for your door reinforcement this item is perfect it’s quite long, so provide extra security, especially with a 2 1/2 inch screws provided. It will also close the gaps in your door to prevent any kind of prying. Just make sure there’s a gap enough for it. I installed this product over the existing plate. The plate seems well-built while still being light and the hardware provided is great. **** you will need a special bit in the shape of a square to use the hardware provided. I’m guessing it’s like a safety bit. ******

I got this because my bedroom door will not latch closed cause the latch is too far from the strike plate I installed this and it filled that gap slightly but it was just enough that the door now closes and locks. It also feels a lot more reinforced and stronger. BEFORE YOU BUY mine didnt come witha bit and i recomened using a impact driver you can use a regular drill but impact is easier. The screws use a small/medium sized Robertson bit basically a little square. It DOES NOT supply you with one you must have one so you can drill in the screws.

Wasn’t sure if it would work due to the damage, but it fits great! The door feels new again and it took very minimal energy/time to install

Fit was perfect and very easy to install.
