Lock Misalignment Hinders Door Security

Lock Is Too High for Doorhole

A lock is a mechanism designed to prevent unauthorized access to a space or object. It typically consists of a metal cylinder with a keyhole and a bolt that slides into the doorhole to secure the door. When the lock is too high for the doorhole, it indicates that the strike plate, which is the metal plate attached to the door frame that the bolt slides into, is not properly aligned with the bolt. This misalignment can prevent the door from closing or locking securely, compromising its function as a security measure.
