12V ANSI Electric Strike Lock | Fail Secure & Fail Safe – JK126
12V ANSI Electric Strike Lock | Fail Secure & Fail Safe – JK126
12V Embedded ANSI Electric Strike Lock – Adjustable Fail Secure & Fail Safe Modes
Take full control of your access control setup with this versatile 12V Embedded ANSI Electric Strike Lock (Model JK126). Designed for seamless integration into standard door frames, this CE-certified strike lock supports both Fail Secure (NO) and Fail Safe (NC) operating modes — switchable in seconds simply by repositioning a single screw. No rewiring, no complicated configuration.
Key Features
- Dual Operating Modes: Easily switch between Fail Secure (NO) and Fail Safe (NC) modes by adjusting the internal screw position — no tools or rewiring required.
- 12V DC Operation: Runs on a standard 12V supply with a low working current of just 250mA, making it energy-efficient and compatible with most access control panels.
- ANSI Standard Embedded Design: Built to ANSI dimensions for straightforward drop-in installation into standard door frames and strike pockets.
- Signal Feedback Option: Available in a 4-cable configuration with door-status signal feedback, or a 2-cable configuration without — choose the setup that fits your system.
- CE Certified: Meets CE safety and performance standards, ensuring reliable and compliant operation.
- Durable Construction: Engineered for long-term use in residential, commercial, and light-industrial access control applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between Fail Secure and Fail Safe mode on this electric strike lock?
A: In Fail Secure (NO) mode, the lock remains locked when power is cut — keeping your door secure during a power outage. In Fail Safe (NC) mode, the lock releases when power is lost — allowing free egress, which is often required by fire codes. You can switch between these modes on the JK126 simply by repositioning the internal adjustment screw.
Q: What voltage and current does this electric strike lock require?
A: This ANSI electric strike lock operates on 12V DC with a working current of 250mA. It is compatible with the majority of standard access control power supplies and panels.
Q: Do I need a 4-cable or 2-cable version?
A: Choose the 4-cable version if your access control system supports or requires door-status signal feedback (e.g., to monitor whether the door is open or closed). The 2-cable version is ideal for simpler setups where signal feedback is not needed, offering straightforward wiring and installation.
Q: Is this electric strike lock compatible with standard door frames?
A: Yes. The JK126 is built to ANSI embedded dimensions, making it compatible with standard door frames that accept ANSI-format strike pockets, commonly found in residential and commercial doors across North America.
