Latch

A latch is a piece of metal that extends into the door jamb to keep it shut. The latch is operated either by a handle or knob on the interior of the door, or a thumb-turn on the outside.

This modification can be a drawback in terms of the appearance of an opening and also exposes the keeper mechanism and latchbolt to unauthorized users.

Recently, several electric strike makers have come up with a new type of electric strike called the "No Cut" strike that doesn't need an opening in the doorjamb to operate. The strikes use a unique design that allows the keeper and latchbolt to slide into the strike pocket without damaging the doorjamb faceplate.
