Access Control Electric Strike Applications
Modernize your building security with our integrated Electric Strike solutions. Designed for versatility and ease of installation, these applications allow for seamless remote entry control on both new and existing openings. By combining precision-engineered strikes with dedicated Power Supplies and intuitive Remote Switches, you can create a robust access point that meets rigorous safety standards. Each configuration includes the necessary technical data and mounting hardware to ensure a professional, secure installation.
System Operation:
Electric Strikes provide remote release of a locked door. They allow the door to be opened without retracting the latchbolt. This occurs by the releasing of the electric strike lip/keeper.
- Fail Secure: Requires power to be applied to unlock the strike. Upon loss of power, the strike is locked. (Sometimes notated as "NFS - Non-Fail Safe" or "FSE - Fail Secure")
- Fail Safe: Requires power to be applied to lock the strike. Upon loss of power, the strike is unlocked. (Most building codes prohibit the use of "Fail Safe" strikes on Fire-Rated or labelled openings).
Electric Strikes
Upgrade your existing mechanical hardware with remote release capabilities. Electric strikes are mortised into the door frame, allowing a door to remain locked to the public while giving authorized users access via keypad or card reader. We stock heavy-duty, fire-rated options from Securitron and Alarm Controls that are compatible with cylindrical, mortise, and exit device hardware. Available in fail-secure configurations to maintain security during power outages.
Readers, Keypads & Egress Sensors
Control who enters and how they exit. This section includes Securitron DK-26 keypads, proximity readers, and high-accuracy XMS2 motion sensors. In 2026, we prioritize "No-Touch" technology, featuring Alarm Controls wave-to-open sensors that trigger both the lock release and the door operator for a completely sanitary, hands-free experience.
Power Supplies & Power Transfer
Ensure your electrified hardware never misses a beat with our Securitron BPS and PSP power supplies, which deliver clean, filtered power to your access control system. To protect critical wiring from damage or tampering, we offer a full range of power transfer solutions, including concealed electric hinges, EPTs, and heavy-duty armored door loops.
ElectroLynx® Accessories
To eliminate the risk of field-wiring errors, McKinney ElectroLynx® accessories offer a plug-and-play system. This section includes cable harnesses, crimpers, and connectors that allow for snap-together installation, significantly reducing labor costs and ensuring a fail-safe connection between the power source and the hardware.
