Door Strikes for Intercoms, Access Control & Secure Entry

Shop door strikes at CTC Communications for secure door release, intercom integration and access control installations. Door strikes allow a compatible door to be released electronically from an intercom monitor, access control keypad, card reader, fob reader or door controller.

Electric door strikes are available in different designs and configurations to suit residential, light commercial and commercial applications. They are commonly installed within or onto the door frame and activated by a compatible intercom or access control system.

Common Door Strike Types

Door strikes are available in several styles depending on the door frame, lock hardware and installation requirements.

• Surface-mounted door strikes – Mounted on the surface of the door frame and suitable for selected retrofit applications.
• Mortise door strikes – Recessed into the door frame for a cleaner and more concealed appearance.
• Adjustable door strikes – Allow precise alignment and adjustment to help achieve reliable door operation.
• Bolt-type door strikes – Feature a bolt-style mechanism that extends and retracts to engage or release the door.
• High-security electric strikes – Designed for stronger commercial or higher-use applications where durability and monitoring may be required.
• Magnetic locking options – Magnetic locks are a separate locking option often used where electromagnetic holding force is preferred.

Door Strikes for Intercoms & Access Control

Door strikes are commonly used with intercom and access control systems to provide convenient, controlled entry. When a visitor is approved, the strike releases the door latch so the person can enter without needing a physical key.

• Intercom door release – Release a compatible door from an internal monitor, handset or smartphone app where supported.
• Access control keypads – Allow PIN-code entry for staff, tenants or authorised users.
• Card and fob readers – Pair door strikes with credential-based access systems.
• Door controllers – Manage permissions, schedules and access events where supported by the system.
• Gate release – Selected strikes or release hardware may be used for compatible pedestrian gates.
• Monitored strike options – Selected models can report lock or door status back to compatible access control systems.

• Intercom entry points – Front doors, reception entries and pedestrian gates can be released from a compatible intercom system.

How to Choose the Right Door Strike

Choosing the correct door strike depends on the door hardware, access control requirements, installation environment and whether monitoring is required.

• Check the door and frame type – Confirm whether the strike will be installed into timber, metal, aluminium or another frame type.
• Match the latch or lockset – The strike must suit the existing latch, mortice lock or door hardware.
• Confirm voltage – Match the strike to the correct power supply and access control output.
• Choose fail-safe or fail-secure operation – Select the correct function based on security, egress and building requirements.
• Decide on monitoring – Use monitored models where lock or door status needs to be reported back to a system.
• Check lip extension needs – Deeper frames may require a suitable lock lip extension for clean latch entry.
• Plan the full system – Consider the intercom, keypad, reader, controller, power supply and cable requirements before installation.
