Best For: Pedestrian gates, rim-lock doors and residential or light-commercial access control systems requiring door-latch and anti-tamper monitoring
FSH FES15M Rim-Mount Electric Door Strike – Monitored, 1200kg, 12/24V DC
Control and monitor compatible pedestrian gates and rim-lock doors with the surface-mounted FSH FES15M Electric Door Strike.
Designed for residential and light-commercial applications, the FES15M provides up to 1200kg holding strength, dual 12V or 24V DC operation and integrated door-latch and anti-tamper monitoring. Its compact surface-mounted design makes it a practical solution where a mortice-mounted strike is unsuitable.
The field-selectable Power to Lock and Power to Open mechanism allows the operating function to be configured during installation without replacing the electric strike.
Key Features of the FSH FES15M

Door-Latch and Anti-Tamper Monitoring
The FES15M provides monitoring outputs for compatible access control and security equipment:
-
Door Status Sensor: Monitors whether the door latch is engaged within the strike keeper
-
Anti-Tamper Sensor: Monitors whether the strike remains correctly positioned and secured
These outputs allow compatible access control equipment to receive feedback about the gate or door position and the installation status of the electric strike.
Surface-Mounted Strike for Rim Locks
Unlike a mortice-mounted electric strike that is recessed into the door frame, the FES15M is designed for surface mounting with a compatible rim latch.
This makes it particularly useful for pedestrian gates and other installations where recessing a conventional electric strike into the frame may be difficult or unsuitable.
Field-Selectable Fail-Safe or Fail-Secure Operation
The FES15M uses a reversible barbell mechanism that allows its locking function to be changed during installation.
-
Power to Lock: The strike requires power to remain locked and unlocks when power is removed
-
Power to Open: The strike remains locked without power and releases when power is applied
The correct operating mode depends on the gate or door, access control design, emergency-release requirements and applicable building regulations.

Fire-Rated Applications
The FSH FES15M has been fire tested for up to four hours under applicable Australian and British fire test standards.
Fire-rating suitability depends on the complete door, frame, rim latch and installation method. Confirm compatibility with Allegion and the relevant door manufacturer before installation.
Installation and Compatibility
The FES15M must be matched with a compatible rim latch, gate or door frame, access controller, intercom and power supply. Correct alignment is important for dependable locking, release and monitoring.
The monitored FES15M does not carry the IP56 weather rating listed for the non-monitored FES15. Additional protection may be required where the strike could be exposed to weather or moisture.
Professional installation by a suitably qualified security or access control technician is recommended. Confirm the operating mode, voltage, monitoring connections, rim-latch compatibility and fire requirements before ordering.
