Door latches and door strikes are critical components of any door system, helping ensure doors close securely, align properly, and function reliably over time. Whether you're maintaining commercial buildings, upgrading residential doors, or replacing worn hardware, TM Hardware offers a wide selection of door latches, strike plates, magnetic catches, privacy latches, dust-proof strikes, and latch protection hardware.

With products from trusted manufacturers such as Hager, Rockwood, Pemko, and Deltana, you'll find dependable hardware solutions built for everyday use and demanding environments.

Door Strike Plates for Commercial & Residential Doors

Door strike plates help secure the latch or lock when a door closes, providing proper alignment and reinforcing the door frame. We offer a variety of strike plate options including standard strikes, double-lipped strikes, rescue strikes, and specialty strike hardware designed for unique door configurations.

Products such as Hager double-lipped strikes and rescue strike plates are commonly used in institutional, healthcare, hospitality, and commercial applications where durability and reliable operation are essential.

Privacy Door Latches & Specialty Latching Solutions

For privacy applications, we offer dedicated privacy door latches that are ideal for restrooms, offices, changing rooms, and specialty interior doors. These latches provide secure operation while maintaining ease of use and clean aesthetics.

Specialty latch solutions are also available for unique door designs where traditional locksets may not be practical or desirable.

Magnetic Catches, Ball Catches & Cabinet Latching Hardware

Magnetic catches and ball catches provide an effective solution for doors that require controlled closure without a traditional locking mechanism. Common applications include closet doors, cabinet doors, utility rooms, and light-duty interior doors.

Heavy-duty magnetic catches offer dependable holding power while maintaining smooth operation, making them a popular choice for both residential and commercial installations.

Latch Protectors & Door Security Accessories

Protect vulnerable latch areas from tampering and forced entry with latch protectors designed for cylindrical locks and mortise lock systems. Latch guards help shield the gap between the door and frame, making it more difficult for unauthorized individuals to bypass the locking mechanism.

These products are widely used in schools, apartment buildings, commercial facilities, healthcare environments, and government buildings where additional door security is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a door strike plate?

A strike plate is mounted to the door frame and receives the latch or lock bolt when the door closes. It helps align the door properly and improves security and durability.

What is the difference between a latch and a lock?

A latch keeps a door closed through spring pressure or mechanical engagement, while a lock provides additional security by preventing unauthorized opening.

When should I use a latch protector?

Latch protectors are commonly installed on commercial and high-security doors to help prevent tampering, prying, and forced entry attempts around the latch area.

What is a magnetic door catch?

A magnetic catch uses a magnet to hold a door closed without a traditional latch. They are often used on closets, cabinets, utility rooms, and light-duty doors.

Do you offer hardware for commercial buildings?
