Strike Plate (Parametric - Fusion 360)

thingiverse

I needed a custom strike plate for my outside door that kept marking up the door frame due to its installation. It had to be longer than standard with a unique spacer, so I searched Thingiverse but struggled to modify existing designs and achieve my desired results. Therefore, I decided to create my own parametric version that could easily be customized. I've included two STL files: one with standard dimensions and the other tailored to my specific needs. The latter is likely useless to others, but it demonstrates the possibilities of modifying parameters. I've also shared the F3D file. If you want to create your own custom strike plate, download Fusion 360 (free for personal use), adjust the parameters in the F3D file, and export your STL. UPDATE July 18, 2020: Unfortunately, I accidentally damaged my strike plate when it caught on my pants. Despite its effectiveness until then, it's only made of plastic. I added an optional third screw to improve security for longer versions (see the "extra long" model). For those new to Fusion 360: * Open "Strike Plate.F3D" * Click "Modify" * Select "Change Parameters" * Adjust any numbers and click OK * When satisfied, right-click the top line in the browser and select "Save as STL" If this design has been helpful, consider a tip or post a make.
