Electromagnetic / Electrified Door Strike Release
An electric strike is an access control device used for doors. It replaces the fixed strike faceplate often used with a latchbar (also known as a keeper). Like a fixed strike, it normally presents a ramped surface to the locking latch allowing the door to close and latch just like a fixed strike would. However, an electric strike's ramped surface can, upon command, pivot out of the way of the latch allowing the door to be pushed open (from the outside) without the latch being retracted (that is, without any operation of the knob) or while exited the knob or lever can be turned to allow egress from the secured area.
Electric door strikes generally come in two basic configurations
Fail-secure. Also called Fail-locked
Fail-safe. Also called Fail-open
There are many manufacturers of electric door strikes, and there are many things that have to be considered when buying one, i.e. type of jamb, type of locking hardware, whether one requires fail secure or fail safe, length of latch, depth of jamb, voltage requirements and the length of the faceplate.
