What Is An Electric Strike? | GSL Discussion

Access control can be a very complex topic to cover. One of the basic concepts to understand is what each component is used for. So; What is an electric strike? Uriah goes over different types of electric strikes, how they fit into or on doors, and how they function.
Electric strikes are meant to replace strike plates on a door, a strike plate being the small piece of metal fitted to hold a latch or bolt inside of a door frame. You've probably seen thousands of these over the course of your life and not realized it. An electric strike is an advanced replacement for a basic strike plate and allows the door to be remotely opened and closed through an access control system.

How do you Bypass it when there's No Electricity?

[@GuardianSafeAndLock]

@@zulu_mafia well if your a locksmith just pick the lock then you by pass it, or it’s fairly easy to wedge open the latch also.

I learn so so much from this video. Great work

[@dillonthomas4817]

Thanks for sharing man! Starting my own locksmith company and I don't have much experience with electric strikes. Every shop I've worked for had a special tech that handled them because a "Low Voltage" certification was required in the province of BC. Fortunately it is not needed where I'm starting up.

Nice overview! N/O N/C is usually called fail-safe OR fail-secure options in strike specifications. Different wording for the same options.

Lol yeah after I watched the video I realized I missed that. I don’t have a script or anything when making these videos I just shoot from the hip and sometimes I forget somethings. Anyway thx for watching HKS Systems! - Uriah

how does a key manually rotate to open the lever from the outside??

[@irenedornberger8989]

This wasn't covered. If it locks when you go in, say a residence, how do you unlock it from inside?

[@GuardianSafeAndLock]

The lever that engages with the strike is always unlocked from the inside, so you just push the lever down and exit.
