Best For: Timber, steel and aluminium door frames requiring a compact, low-current electric strike for an intercom or access control system.
FSH FES7 Compact Electric Strike – 500kg, Non-Monitored, PTL/PTO, 12V DC
The FSH FES7 Compact Electric Strike is a small and versatile door-locking solution designed for residential and light commercial access control applications. Despite its compact size, the FES7 provides a static holding strength of up to 500kg and can be installed in place of many standard entrance-set strike plates.
Operating from a 12V DC power supply with a low current draw of approximately 90mA, the FES7 is suitable for integration with compatible intercoms, keypads, card readers, access controllers and door-release systems. Its locking function can be changed on site between Power To Lock (PTL) and Power To Open (PTO), allowing installers to configure the strike for the requirements of the door.

Compact Design for Easier Installation
The compact dimensions of the FES7 allow it to be installed with minimal modification to many compatible door frames. It is designed to replace an entrance-set strike plate, helping reduce the amount of frame material that must be removed during installation.
Minimising the required frame cut-out can help maintain the strength and appearance of timber, steel and aluminium door frames. The strike can also be installed on either side of the door, providing flexibility for left-hand and right-hand installations.
Field-Changeable PTL or PTO Operation
The FSH FES7 can be configured on site for either Power To Lock (PTL) or Power To Open (PTO) operation.
-
Power To Lock: power is applied to secure the strike, and the strike releases when power is removed
-
Power To Open: the strike remains secure without power and releases when power is applied
The correct operating mode will depend on the door, access control design, emergency egress requirements and applicable building regulations. The required function should be confirmed before installation.
Low-Power 12V DC Operation
The continuously rated solenoid operates at approximately 90mA from a 12V DC supply. This low current requirement makes the FES7 suitable for many compatible intercom and access control systems without placing an unnecessary load on the power supply.
The available voltage and current should still be confirmed when the strike shares a power supply with an intercom, keypad, card reader, controller or other security equipment.

Ideal Applications
The compact design and low power consumption make the FSH FES7 suitable for applications such as:
- Residential entrance doors
- Apartment and unit entry doors
- Small offices and retail premises
- Internal staff-access doors
- Intercom-controlled entrances
- Keypad and card-reader access systems
- Timber, steel and aluminium door frames
- Door frames with limited installation space
Non-Monitored Electric Strike
The FES7 does not include door, latch or lock-status monitoring. Where door-position feedback is required, installers should consider adding a compatible reed switch or selecting a monitored electric strike suited to the access control system.
Door and Latch Compatibility
The FES7 must be matched with a compatible entrance latch and door frame. Door material, latch position, latch depth, opening direction and available frame space should be checked before installation.
The door latch should align correctly with the strike keeper without placing pressure on the mechanism. Incorrect alignment or preload may affect releasing performance and reduce the effective holding strength.
Professional Installation Recommended
The FSH FES7 should be installed by a qualified locksmith, security technician or access control professional. The installer should confirm the required PTL or PTO function, door handing, latch compatibility, power supply capacity and emergency egress requirements before installation.
This model does not have a stated fire rating and should not be used on a fire-rated doorset unless its suitability has been independently confirmed for the specific installation.
