Where can I buy a Strike Plate for a Garden Gate Bolt?

I have had a garden fence replaced. Two gates have bolts which go into the wooden fence posts. I would like to fix a flush/flat metal surround around the hole which is cut into the post to receive the gate bolt. Do these have a name? I'm struggling to find what I want because I don't know what it is called.
