I have attached two photos of a problem in need of a solution. I installed a new exterior door, and unfortunately the deadbolt and door knob did not line-up, so I had to drill two complete new holes in the door frame.
The problem, as you can see in the photo, is that the hole for the old door knob latch overlaps with where I need to install the new strike plate. Specifically, there is no wood for the bottom screw of the new strike plate to fasten to.
What should I do? How should I fill this hole to ensure the strike plate has something to fasten to?
