force would have to be higher for the striker box assembly to fail as compared to conventional strike plates shown in fig2 and 3 in other words with the boxes 50 and 150 secured by a jack flange 61 to the side of the jack stud 31 the box 50 is better prevented from rolling or rotating in the cutout while the door d is being forced open after the boxes 50 and 150 are attached to the jack stud 31 by primary screws 81 and jack screws 82 cover plate 40 is attached to the boxes by machine screws 83 a third way of attaching the boxes 50 and 150 along with the cover plate 40 to the jack stud 31 is with secondary screws 85 that extend through screw holes 45 in the cover plate 40 and screw holes 75 in the box 50 and then through the jack stud 31 and into king stud 32 the screw holes 45 and 75 align such that the screws 85 hold the cover plate 40 and the box 50 together while attaching to the jack stud 31 and king stud 32 it should be noted that the screw holes 75 are off center relative to the box 50 as identified by centerline 51 in fig5 and 6 and especially with respect to the main openings 43 and 143 in the cover plate 40 so that the secondary screws 85 will be positioned closer to the center of the jack stud 31 and further.
