Electric Door Strikes

Electric door strikes are commonly used with intercoms and access control systems to release a door electronically from a monitor, keypad, card reader or control panel.

• Surface-mounted door strikes – Mounted on the surface of the door frame and suitable for selected retrofit installations.
• Mortise door strikes – Recessed into the door frame for a clean and concealed finish.
• Adjustable door strikes – Allow precise alignment for reliable lock operation.
• Bolt-type door strikes – Feature a bolt that extends or retracts to engage or disengage the door.
• Monitored electric strikes – Include a sensor to report whether the strike is engaged or disengaged.
• Non-monitored electric strikes – Provide basic release operation without remote door status feedback.

Magnetic Door Locks & Magnetic Door Holders

Magnetic door locks use electromagnetic force to hold a door closed. They are commonly used in commercial and industrial access control applications where strong electronic locking is required.

• Monitored magnetic locks – Provide lock status feedback to supported access control systems.
• Non-monitored magnetic locks – Provide electronic locking without status monitoring.
• Commercial access control – Suitable for offices, warehouses, restricted areas and controlled entry points.
• Fail-safe applications – Magnetic locks are commonly specified where unlock-on-power-loss behaviour is required, subject to building and egress requirements.

Magnetic Door Holders

A magnetic door holder is used to hold a door open in a specific position. Magnetic door holders are often used in commercial, residential and public buildings where doors need to remain open under normal conditions.

Magnetic Door Locking Hardware

Magnetic locks and holders should be selected based on door size, mounting position, holding force, power supply and building compliance requirements.

Electric Mortice Locks

Mortice locks are installed into the door body, providing a secure and clean locking solution for suitable doors. They are available in a variety of styles and finishes to suit residential and commercial applications.

Mortice locks can be made from materials such as brass, stainless steel or aluminium and may include features such as deadbolts, automatic locking and keyless entry options depending on the model.
