Choosing right electric strike for access control

Installers and security managers need to take into account that in most access control systems, electric strikes are the gatekeepers and they deserve more than passing attention. Buying low cost strikes and installing them in a slipshod fashion is like building a goal with single lever locks.

In a typical electric strike installation, there are two key components. The strike is fitted into the door jamb and has a bolt pocket that holds the latch securely. When the strike is opened, its pivoting lip, or keeper, rotates away from the pocket allowing the bolt to be pulled away. The latch is embedded in the door and has no moving parts or power demands. The strengths of electric locks include their ability to handle high traffic areas effectively (in really high traffic areas, magnetic locks can be better), and the fact that they cut down on manpower requirements. Strikes also allow timed opening, multi-functioning and interfacing with integral safety systems.

Strikes give positive door status and lock status indications, as well as allowing remote and automatic door control. They eliminate the costly suiting of mechanical locks and end the need for key cutting and copy controls. Using an overall access system with electric strikes allows administrators to reprogram locks remotely.
