Electric Strikes Overview
Electric strikes are electromechanical devices installed on door frames. They work in conjunction with access control systems to electronically control the locking mechanism of a door. When activated, an electric strike releases the latch or bolt of the door, allowing it to open.
Electric strikes are commonly used in commercial and residential buildings. They integrate with keycard readers, keypads, or other access control devices to provide enhanced security and convenience.
See the DC20 Manual for more info.
Installation Diagrams
When powering locking hardware via the DC20’s integrated power supply, ensure that the maximum allowable current per relay output is less than the rating listed in the manual (830 mA/415 mA at 12/24VDC).
If using a Fail Safe configuration, please review the wiring diagrams provided in the Installing Magnetic Locks with the DC20 article. For an electric strike lock, the REX is not required.
Note: It is recommended that you consult the appropriate federal, state, and local authorities for any relevant regulations at the time of installation.
