Larson storm door strike plate shorter than 40-197

Quick Learner
Hello, I ordered a white strike plate, item # 40-197, for my Larson storm door. But it is too long! My old strike plate is 7 inches long, while the part I ordered is about 8 inches long. I will be returning the parts. However, I was hoping that you had a similar strike plate that is 7 inches long. Also, I am very pleased with how quickly I received my order! Thank you!

I see what you mean. Unfortunately, the 40-197 is the only strike plate we carry for the Larsen storm door. Yours may be an older version that isn't made anymore.

Before you send it back for a refund, take a look and see if you can adapt it to your storm door jamb. You might only need to drill a new installation hole in the door frame to mount the longer plate.

Just understand that if you alter the keeper, you won't be able to return it. See our return policy here for more information.
