Electric Strikes

an electric strike is an access control device that replaces the fixed strike faceplate used with a latchbar or keeper on a door. its ramped surface pivots out of the way upon command, allowing the door to open even when the lock is in the locked position. these versatile locking devices are available in fire-rated, burglary-rated, and indoor/outdoor models to suit various security needs. common areas of use;

• commercial office buildings: securing main entrances and restricted internal departments while integrating with proximity readers and keypads.
