Door Strike Lock
*Fail-Secure/Fail-Safe *Capacity: 100 Kg *DC 12 VAn electric strike is an electromechanical lock release device that replaces a standard door strike plate.
It allows a door to be opened remotely, typically via an access control system, without manually retracting the latch. When activated, the electric strike releases the latch, enabling the door to be opened.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Functionality:
-
Replaces Standard Strike:Electric strikes are installed in the door frame, taking the place of the standard strike plate.
-
Remote Release:They are designed to work with various access control systems, such as keypads, card readers, or intercoms.
-
Activation:When an authorized signal is received (e.g., a code is entered, a card is swiped), the electric strike releases the latch, allowing the door to be opened.
-
Fail-Safe or Fail-Secure:Electric strikes can be configured in either a fail-safe or fail-secure mode.
- Fail-safe: In this mode, the door unlocks when power is lost, making it suitable for safety applications where access is needed during power outages.
- Fail-secure: In this mode, the door remains locked when power is lost, requiring power to unlock, making it suitable for high-security applications.
How it Works:
- The electric strike contains a solenoid, which is an electromagnet.
- When the solenoid is activated by an electrical signal, it moves a component (like an armature) that allows the latch to move freely.
- This movement releases the door, allowing it to be opened.
Key Differences from Other Locks:
-
Electric vs. Magnetic Locks:Unlike magnetic locks, which use powerful magnets to hold the door closed, electric strikes release the latch mechanism.
-
Remote Access:Electric strikes offer remote access control, allowing doors to be unlocked without manual intervention.
-
Versatility:They can be used with various locking mechanisms, including cylindrical, mortise, and rim exit devices.
Common Applications:
-
Access Control:Electric strikes are a core component of access control systems in commercial and residential settings.
-
Security:They provide a higher level of security compared to standard locks, especially when used with fail-secure configurations.
-
Safety:In fail-safe configurations, they ensure safe egress during emergencies.
-
Specific Areas:They are commonly found in reception areas, daycare centers, and other locations where controlled access is needed.
Gate drop ground latch

Gate drop ground latch
A gate drop ground latch, also known as a cane bolt or drop rod, is a hardware mechanism used to secure a gate in either the open or closed position by inserting a rod into the ground.
It's commonly used for single or double gates, including wooden fences, metal gates, and even barn doors, to provide extra stability and prevent unwanted movement.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
How it works:
- The latch typically consists of a rod (the "drop rod" or "cane bolt") and a bracket or receiver that is mounted on the gate.
- When the gate is in the desired position (open or closed), the rod is manually lowered through the bracket and into a hole or receiver in the ground.
- This creates a secure hold, preventing the gate from swinging or being moved by wind or other forces.
- Some designs include a bracket or keeper to hold the rod in the raised (open) position when not in use.
Common uses:
- Securing single or double gates: The drop ground latch can be used on both types of gates to keep them firmly in place.
- Providing stability in windy conditions: It helps prevent gates from being blown open or closed by the wind.
- Securing gates in the open position: It can be used to hold a gate open, preventing it from accidentally closing.
- Reinforcing gate security: It adds an extra layer of security, making it more difficult to force the gate open.
- Suitable for various materials: Can be used with wood, metal, and other gate materials.
Benefits:
- Enhanced security: Prevents gates from being moved by wind or other forces.
- Increased stability: Helps keep gates aligned and prevents sagging.
- Versatile application: Can be used on a variety of gates and in different environments.
- Easy to operate: Simple manual operation to engage and disengage the latch.
- Relatively easy to install: Usually requires drilling holes for mounting the brackets.

Pedestrian gate manual lock (One side key)
A "pedestrian gate manual lock (one side key)" refers to a type of locking mechanism for a gate that is operated manually and requires a key to unlock it from one side, while the other side allows for easy exit without a key. Here's a breakdown of its key features:- Manual Operation: This lock doesn't rely on electricity or automation. You physically use your hand to engage or disengage the locking mechanism.
- One-Sided Key Access: The defining characteristic is that a physical key is needed to unlock the gate from one specific side (usually the exterior or entry side).
- Easy Exit (Thumb-Turn, Latch, or Push Pad): On the interior or exit side, there's typically a simple mechanism like a thumb-turn, lever, push pad, or a basic latch that allows for quick and easy opening without needing a key. This is often a safety feature, especially for emergency exits.
- Security: It provides a basic level of security, preventing unauthorized entry from the keyed side.
- Power Independence: Since it's manual, it's not affected by power outages.
- Common Use Cases: These locks are frequently found on garden gates, backyard gates, pool gates, and other pedestrian access points where controlled entry is desired but a quick exit is also necessary.

Pedestrian gate manual lock (Two-sided key)
A "pedestrian gate manual lock (two-sided key)" refers to a type of gate latch or lock that can be operated and secured with a key from both sides of the gate. Here's a breakdown of what that means and why it's useful:- Manual Lock: This indicates that the lock is operated by hand, typically by turning a key or a knob/lever, rather than being electric or automated.
- Two-Sided Key (or Keyed on Both Sides): This is the key feature. It means that there is a key cylinder on both the exterior and interior sides of the gate. This allows you to:
- Lock the gate from either the inside or the outside using a key.
- Unlock the gate from either the inside or the outside using a key.
- Convenience: You don't have to walk around the gate to unlock it if you're on the "wrong" side.
- Security: It provides a consistent level of security from both directions, preventing unauthorized access whether someone is trying to get in from the outside or out from the inside (if that's a concern).
- Accessibility: It can be crucial for pedestrian gates that serve as primary entry points, offering easy access for residents or authorized personnel from either side.
- Deadbolt Hook Locks: These use a hook-shaped bolt that engages with a strike plate on the gate post.
- Mortise Locks: These are installed within a pocket cut into the gate frame, offering a clean, flush appearance and good security.
- Rim Locks: These are surface-mounted on the gate, making them easier to install.
- Latches with an external access kit: Some general-purpose gate latches can be converted to be two-sided key-lockable with an additional kit.
