FSH FES20M High Security Electric Strike – Monitored, 1200kg, 12/24V DC
Secure demanding access-controlled entrances with the FSH FES20M High Security Electric Strike.
Manufactured from stainless steel and providing up to 1200kg holding strength, the FES20M is a fully monitored electric door strike designed for commercial and high-security applications. Its integrated sensors provide lock, door-latch and anti-tamper status feedback to compatible access control equipment.
The field-selectable Power to Lock and Power to Open mechanism allows the operating mode to be configured during installation without dismantling the strike’s internal locking mechanism.

Full Lock, Latch and Anti-Tamper Monitoring
The FES20M provides three monitoring outputs for compatible access control and security systems:
-
LSS – Lock Status Sensor: Monitors the status of the internal locking mechanism
-
DSS – Door Status Sensor: Monitors whether the door latch is engaged within the strike keeper
-
ATS – Anti-Tamper Sensor: Monitors whether the electric strike is correctly installed within the door frame
These outputs allow compatible access control equipment to identify whether the door is closed, the strike is locked and the locking hardware remains correctly positioned.
Field-Selectable Locking Operation
The FES20M can be configured during installation for either Power to Lock or Power to Open operation.
-
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 configuration depends on the door, access control design, emergency release requirements and applicable building regulations.
