- We show you how an electric strike works with a remote door opener and a push to exit button. This is a simple electric strike setup with a manual push to exit button or you can use the remote click button device to unlock the electric strike. This electric strike uses a low voltage power supply and low voltage wiring to the electric strike.

The door remains locked when when the power is not applied. This is called a fail-secure electric strike. This mean in the event of a power failure the electric strike will remain locked. There are also electric strikes that are made that operate as a "fail-safe" electric strike meaning that when there is power failure the electric strike will unlock.
Electric strike systems are commonly used in multi unit condo buildings or rental buildings that allow a tenant to remotely unlock their front door from inside their unit by pressing an unlock button. This allows tenants to let in deliveries or visitors without the need to go down to the front door to let someone in.
We show you how this simple electric strike works and it's perfect for front gates or condo unit buildings.

This was exactly what I needed to know, to be able to install it my self.👍
Excellent
useful
Hi can you please tell me what kind of control board that you are using?
Hello thanks for explaining the use of this, I have pretty much the same setup apart from the remote control I was thinking if it is possible to have it set to wifi control because I am disabled and while I can see who is at the gate on my phone I still have to get to the intercom telephone to operate the push button.
The radio control probably wouldn't work due to the distance i am from the gate and the amount of concrete and steel there is in the house, having said that the wifi does work that far easily and also i like the idea if I am not at home and a delivery man arrives he can open the gate from speaking to me on my wifi camera , i can then open the gate and he can leave the parcel safely. thank you.
yes it can, but for that you would need to buy a smart plug separately. The way to use it would be the least complex of all, only having to plug the charger of the strike lock into the smart wifi plug and turn it on via the app on your phone. The lock would have to be set to always locked by default, with the smart plug just cutting the power to it, effectively disabling it when you action the plug.
Im currently looking at setting this up with something called UniFi so you can have both mobile access and use NFC chips to scan in and out. Its not cheap though.
hi! what is the easiest way to make the button smart? want to be able to open the electric strike remotely. thanks.
I am trying to find a way to have a door opener for a single use restroom THAT CAN LOCK while in use? Any guidance or links would be appreciated!
how easy for these electric strike to fail so it easy to enter an area that this unit is supposed to protect?
Most electric strikes do not require a control board unless you want the strike to engage for a set time, you would need a relay for that.
This electric strike was part of a kit: amzn.to/2Y1pSAI that came with the control board so I just used the kit and the provided clicker for unlocking.
Would you please help me from where I can buy this parts.thanks
be nice if you would mention if the wires to the strike have a negative and a plus side , or does it mater which way they or connected ?
Both strike and power supply have + and - positive of strike goes to relay, positive from power supply goes to relay common. Negatives of both tie together.
Pro tip: The black wire is the negative side. The red wire is the positive. An International standard right there.
What Keypad would work with this and how does that fit in ?
just get a smart plug and plug the charger in it
what's stopping someone from cutting the strike wires and feeding dc power to it to simply open the door?
they are in the wall inside the door frame
How many volts does it require?
12/24v DC
How can I avail this electric strike.. In uae
I would like to add a wireless wall button to my Ring Access Controller to open the door. I see you have a Key fob, I would like the same thing but a wall mount button. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks for any advice.
Tony, it says that the Ring Access Controller: amzn.to/31Ltt6C is compatible with push unlock buttons. This Button: amzn.to/2Dydill should work fine.
Can a second push button be added?
Hello thank you for sharing your knowledge, what would be the best wire to use on a electric strike like this one?
Insulated copper
If the strike uses "DC" the wire should be stranded... 18ga is common, I suggest all circuits fused (3a)
Can I connect this with the Ring app?
Asif, Yes. Ring now makes and access controller: amzn.to/2ymzmMy that lets you control it from your phone. You could get the kit we list in the comments and combine it with the Ring Access controller.
Man you got a lot of static from this mic
I no longer use it. It was a rode mic that was reportedly "high quality" that never worked right out of the box. I've since switched to a better setup.
