Before we installed the heavy-duty Bear Claw striker-bolts, we figured there might be the need for some fitting and planning. As you can see in this photo, the original striker is set back into the jamb about 3/4 inch. This wouldn't be much of a problem if we had pushed the door latch portion towards the jamb another inch or so. Of course this would have looked awful, so we opted to bend some sheetmetal to fill the set-in area of the jamb where the original striker is mounted.
