I had Zwave locks for a while and switched them out a few months back as they would miss with heavy traffic. If not a ton of traffic they work just fine. I switched to Kwikset Zigbee locks and the MQTT plugin and I haven't had a miss since.

It is an interesting coincidence, but last night I had an attempted break in through my Schlage 469 lock. I have it on Ring video.
A teenager attempted to kick down the door, and landed a very solid kick on the lock. The Schlage was unmoved and undamaged, but immediately started to shriek an alarm. Scared away the two teenagers! I had heard that the Schlage 469 is a tougher lock than others, now I believe it.

You may have to fiddle with the strike plate a little to get it working optimally.
I want a good seal around the door so it's imperative that the door close where the z-wave lock has it close. It's very frustrating. I think a tapered bolt for the Yale might be a solution. Anyone else deal with this?

The solution is called a Dremel. Takes less than 2 minutes to carefully grind the strike plate opening to accommodate any misalignments.

Your suggestion of attaching a thin metal shim to the tongue of the plate would also work, just be sure to polish it smooth so the lock bolt will engage easily.

Ahh, I see your issue. Depending on how play there is, it might be better to remove the strike plate, fill the existing holes with some wood filler, and then reattach the plate to ensure a tight closure.

randy got me thinking (he's good at that!) and then I did some googling, and sure enough... there's an EASY solution to this that doesn't require much of anything other than replacing the strike plate (maybe enlarging the latch hole) with a new one. This product will ensure the door is snug and yet still engage the latch.

They also have one for $1 less, but I didn't like the look.
