Perfect for access control

All electric strikes do the same thing. What sets them apart are their different characteristics such as voltage, current, size, back-depth or backset, durability, lock compatability and price. There are a lot of models made by many manufacturers so we have tried to center on just a couple brands and just a few models that will work the best with the most locks and that are also the most economical. It's always a good idea to stay a way from the very cheap stikes that we sometimes see being offered at some hardware stores and mail order companies. These generally are not at all heavy duty and don't hold up well. Security of course is also a consideration and these cheap srikes will give with just a little pressure.

The brand we like the most is Rutherford. It's among the most versatile and very heavy duty. It will mount in a wood or aluminum frame. The keeper or lip area is center mounted and also enlarged to accomadate just about any latch with up to a 5/8" projection and since the lip is so wide, installation is easier.

In addition:

Stainless steel face and mounting plate

Shallow depth will accomadate most tight metal frame profiles

Round corners on plate for easier installation

Dimensions:
4 7/8" long X 1 1/4" wide X 1 5/8" deep

Other face plate sizes are available but this size is the most common. Please email or call if you think you need another size.



What does fail secure and fail safe mean?

FAIL SECURE, MEANING THAT IF POWER IS TAKEN AWAY, THEY REMAIN LOCKED. THIS AS OPPOSED TO FAIL SAFE WHICH IS WHEN POWER IS TAKEN AWAY, IT UNLOCKS. MOST INSTALLATIONS WILL USE THE FIRST-POWER SECURE. IF YOUR NOT SURE, GIVE US A CALL
