Wood jambs on the hill
Mount Pleasant strikes often land in wood jambs of shops and small offices. Wood is less forgiving than a hollow-metal prep. The hill makes the latch drag if the door sags. We survey before we cut.
On this visit
Wood jambs on the hill get a reinforcement plate before the pocket is cut. A strike in bare wood lasts until the first summer. The door is eased if it sags, or the new pocket is instantly wrong.
Frequent questions
The jamb is wood and already split. Can it take a strike?
Only after it is repaired. A strike in a split jamb fails immediately.
How many trips?
A look, then the install, unless the photos are good enough to skip the look. The shop is close either way.
