Electric Strike

Electric Strike Types

Electric strikes are used to secure entry doors and work with the Card Lock system. They are how electronic security is applied to buildings of all sizes, or to areas within buildings that need extra security or are limited to a certain subset of people. Electric strikes are mechanical locks with electric devices. The latch or lock bolt is held in place until the release is activated, meaning these doors are always locked from the outside. They replace traditional mechanical strikes.

When you are installing a card lock or other electronic access control system, you will need to attach electric/electronic strikes to all of the involved doors, but the type of strike needed depends on the existing door hardware and whether you are upgrading the lock mechanism itself. Our system allows for the use of a variety of different strikes to support all of the doors in your facility. Talk to us about what kind of strikes you might need to support the security and safety of your facility, personnel, and guests.
