A lock assembly includes a lock (2) fitted to a door and having at least one element (6, 8) operable to move from a retracted position to an extended position, a striker plate (3) fitted to a fixed structure (5) and having at least one seating (12, 13) for engagement by the movable element (6, 8) of the lock (2), and means for fixing the striker plate (3) to the fixed structure (5). The fixing means include two through-slots (25) formed in the longitudinal ends of the striker plate (3), two plates (28), one for each through-slot (25), each having a respective through-hole (31) and two screws (33) screwed through the corresponding said hole (31) and the corresponding slot (25) into threaded holes (34) formed in the structure (5) so as to press each plate (28) against the corresponding end of the striker plate (3) thereby fixing it to the structure (5). The perimeter of the slot (25) is greater than the circumference of the stem of the screw (33) making it possible, by loosening the screws (33), to adjust the position of the striker plate (3) relative to the structure (5).
