The invention provides a strike plate (1) provided for cooperating with a lock mounted on a gate (6), said lock having a latch bolt and a deadbolt (28). The strike plate (1) includes a folded metal plate (14) and a spacer formed by a plastic part (15) and a leg (12) of an angled section (11). The strike plate (1) has a slot (8) provided for the latch bolt and a cavity (21) formed by the spacer and by an opening in the bottom (10) of the slot (8). This cavity (21) is provided to receive the deadbolt (28) and has a depth (d2) which is at least 25 % of the total depth (D) of the strike plate (1). The strike plate (1) is safer, because the metal plate (14) is less fragile and can also not be unfolded by exerting a pressure on the deadbolt (28), because this deadbolt (28) extends into the cavity (21) through the bottom (10) of the slot (8).
