Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between Fail Secure (NO) and Fail Safe (NC) electric strike locks?
A: A Fail Secure (NO) electric strike lock remains locked when power is cut, making it ideal for high-security doors where unauthorized entry must be prevented even during a power outage. A Fail Safe (NC) lock automatically unlocks when power is lost, which is required for emergency egress doors so occupants can exit safely. Choose the mode that matches your building's safety and security requirements.
Q: Is this electric strike lock compatible with my existing access control system?
A: Yes. This DC 12V ANSI standard electric strike lock is compatible with virtually all standard access control systems, including keypad controllers, RFID card readers, biometric readers, and video intercom systems — as long as the controller outputs a 12V DC signal. Always verify your controller's output voltage before installation.
Q: Can this lock be installed on a glass door?
A: Absolutely. The narrow-frame, embedded design of this electric strike lock makes it especially well-suited for glass door frames and slim stainless steel door frames. Its compact dimensions (as small as 124L × 43W × 32H mm) allow for clean, flush installation without bulky hardware.
Q: What is the holding strength of this electric strike lock?
A: This heavy-duty electric strike lock provides a holding strength of 1,000 kg (approximately 2,200 lbs), making it highly robust for both commercial and residential access control applications.
