Builders in America don't understand what the dead-latch is for and over-size the strike plate to save time. If the dead-latch is able to fall through the strike plate, the lock can be opened with a shim. 2/3rds of the reason for the deadbolt on top of the locking latch is widespread installation error of latching locks.
