What are the different types of door plates used for locks and how do they enhance the security of a door?

There are mainly two types of door plates used for locks: strike plates and latch plates. Strike plates reinforce the area where the bolt of the lock goes into the door frame, while latch plates secure the latch of the lock. These plates enhance security by providing a stronger surface for the lock to engage with, making it harder for intruders to force the door open.
