Door Strike Lock

An 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.

A door strike, also known as a strike plate, is a metal plate installed on a door or a pedestrian gate jamb that works with a door’s latch or bolt to secure the door when closed.

The door strike lock provides a point of contact for the latch, keeping the door from swinging open. Electric strikes are a type of door strike that can be controlled electronically, often as part of an access control system.

Here’s a more detailed explanation:

Traditional Door Strike:

A standard strike plate is a simple metal plate with a hole or recess that the door’s latch or bolt engages with when the door is closed. It’s a crucial part of any door locking system, ensuring the door stays securely closed.
Electric Strike:

An electric strike replaces the traditional strike plate and is an electromechanical device. It is controlled by an electrical signal and allows for remote access control. When activated, it releases the latch, allowing the door to be opened without manually turning a knob or handle.
Functionality:

Electric strikes are often used in commercial buildings and other locations where access needs to be controlled. They work with various access control systems like card readers, keypads, or biometric scanners.
Fail-safe/Fail-secure:

Electric strikes can be configured as either fail-safe or fail-secure. A fail-safe strike remains unlocked during a power outage, allowing for egress, while a fail-secure strike remains locked in a power outage, requiring power to unlock.
