Electronic Strike Installation

Specialized Electronic Strike Installation Services

Integrating remote access capabilities requires precise modification of the door frame. Scottsdale Lock & Key performs expert Electronic Strike Installation to facilitate controlled entry without replacing the entire lockset. Our technicians embed the electromechanical device into the jamb and connect it to your central controller, allowing the door to remain locked securely until an authorized credential triggers the release.

Why Trust Our Strike Specialists

A correct installation ensures the latch does not bind and the electrical circuit remains stable. We prioritize mechanical alignment and proper voltage handling. Select our team for the following technical advantages:

Precision Frame Modification: We utilize specific cutting tools to fit the strike faceplate flush against the frame, maintaining the aesthetic and structural integrity of the doorway.
Voltage Configuration: Our technicians verify the power supply output to match the strike’s voltage requirements (12V or 24V DC), preventing overheating or coil failure.
Preload Handling: We install heavy-duty models capable of releasing under pressure, ensuring the door opens smoothly even if wind or thick weather stripping pushes against the latch.
Fail-Secure Setup: We configure the Electronic Strike Installation according to your specific security needs, typically setting it to fail-secure mode so the door remains locked from the outside if power is lost.
Seamless Integration: We wire the device directly into your existing intercom, buzzer, or card reader network, ensuring immediate actuation when a valid signal is received.

FAQ'S

Definitive Electronic Strike Installation Solutions

Transitioning to an electrified entry system enhances convenience and security management. Scottsdale Lock & Key delivers specialized Electronic Strike Installation services to modernize your door hardware. Our technicians precisely cut and reinforce the door frame to house the mechanism, connecting it to your access control network to ensure reliable remote release capabilities.

1. What is the difference between fail-safe and fail-secure strikes?

A fail-secure strike remains locked when power is lost, keeping the building secure. A fail-safe strike unlocks when power is cut, which is often required for fire safety on designated exit paths. We configure the mode based on your specific safety and security requirements.

2. Can you install an electric strike on a metal door frame?

Yes. Our technicians use specialized cutting tools to modify hollow metal or aluminum frames. We install mounting tabs to secure the strike hardware firmly to the jamb, ensuring it can withstand significant pull force.

3. Will I need to replace my existing door handle?

In most cases, no. An Electronic Strike Installation is designed to work with your existing cylindrical lockset or mortise latch. We align the new strike plate with the current latch bolt, allowing the door to function normally with a key while adding the electronic release feature.

4. Why do some electric strikes make a buzzing sound?

The buzzing sound occurs when the strike is powered by Alternating Current (AC). If you prefer silent operation, we can install a rectifier or use a Direct Current (DC) power supply to ensure the mechanism releases quietly.

5. Can this system work with my video intercom?

Yes. We wire the electric strike directly into your intercom or buzzer system. This allows your staff to visually verify a visitor’s identity and press a button to release the door remotely from their desk.

6. What is 'preload' and why does it matter?

Preload refers to pressure on the door latch caused by weather stripping, warped doors, or air pressure. We install heavy-duty electric strikes capable of opening even when there is significant preload pressure, preventing the door from jamming.
