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.
-

Pedestrian gate electric lock with remote control
* Two remote controls included *DC 12 V pedestrian gate electric lock with a remote control is a security system that allows you to lock and unlock a walk-through gate using an electrical mechanism, typically activated by a remote control. This provides convenience and enhanced security, as you don't need a physical key to open the gate. Here's a breakdown of what it entails: How it Works:- Electric Lock Mechanism: Instead of a traditional manual deadbolt or latch, an electric lock uses an electrical impulse to control a bolt or latch. This impulse can come from a control board connected to various access control devices.
- Remote Control Activation: A key component is the remote control, which sends a wireless signal (radio frequency) to a receiver connected to the lock's control system. When the signal is received and recognized, the lock is instructed to engage (lock) or disengage (unlock).
- Integration with Gate Systems: These locks are often integrated with automatic gate openers or access control systems. When the gate closes, the lock can automatically engage, and when a remote signal is given, it disengages to allow the gate to open.
- Power Source: Electric locks require a power source, typically low voltage (e.g., 12V DC). Many systems include a battery backup to ensure continued operation during power outages.
- Solenoid Locks: These use an electromagnet to extend or retract a bolt, securing or releasing the gate.
- Electromagnetic Locks (Mag Locks): These consist of an electromagnet mounted on the gate frame and a metal strike plate on the gate itself. When power is applied, the electromagnet creates a powerful magnetic force that holds the gate shut. Removing power releases the lock.
- Electric Strikes: These replace the standard strike plate on the gate frame. They contain a solenoid that, when activated, pivots or retracts to release the gate's latch. They are often combined with a traditional keyed doorknob or lever.
- Remote Operation: The primary benefit, allowing you to open or close the gate from a distance.
- Automatic Operation: Many models automatically lock when the gate closes, improving security.
- Fail-Safe vs. Fail-Secure:
- Fail-Secure: The lock remains locked when power is lost. This is common for high-security applications where you want the gate to stay secure even during a power outage.
- Fail-Safe: The lock unlocks when power is lost. This might be preferred for safety reasons, ensuring an exit path in an emergency.
- Holding Force: This indicates the strength of the lock in resisting forced entry, measured in pounds (lbs).
- Compatibility: Ensure the electric lock is compatible with your specific gate type (wood, metal, swing, etc.) and any existing or planned access control systems (keypads, intercoms, smart home systems).
- Manual Override: Many electric locks include a manual release key or mechanism for use in case of power failure or remote control malfunction.
- Durability and Weather Resistance: Given that they are outdoors, look for locks built with durable, weather-resistant materials.
- Integration with Other Access Control: Beyond remote controls, these locks can often be integrated with:
- Keypads (for code entry)
- Intercom systems (audio/video communication and remote release)
- Smartphone apps (for remote monitoring and control)
- Biometric readers (fingerprint, face scan)
