a latch engagement section comprising a first surface, a striker pin extending from the first surface, and an abutment surface that extends generally orthogonal to the first surface;
a pin positioning section coupled to the latch engagement section and comprising a positioning surface with a striker pin slot formed therethrough that extends in parallel with the striker pin, the striker pin slot being positioned in the positioning surface such that the striker pin slot is aligned with a striker pin installation location when the striker pin of the latch engagement section is engaged with a latch of a door and the abutment surface rests against a frame to which the door is pivotably coupled; and
a cover slidably coupled to the pin positioning section such that the cover is slidable between a first position where the cover closes the striker pin slot and a second position where the striker pin slot is open
wherein the cover defines a cover slot extending along at least a portion of a length of the cover, further comprising a fastener extending through the slot into the pin positioning section, wherein loosening the fastener permits sliding the cover between the first position and the second position.
