Electric Strike

electric strike locksmith in Portland
If you own a business, I’m sure that you find security to be important. You may consider installing an electric strike to any important rooms of your business. An electric strike will ensure that your employees have access to the areas that they need to inhabit without the worry of lost or stolen keys.

An electric strike is a great decision to make if you are looking for strong business security as well as good physical appearance. Electric strikes are fairly easy for a locksmith to install and are one of the cheaper options to choose from that are currently on the market. When choosing an electric strike for your business, you really should avoid the cheaper prices. An electric strike needs to be of good quality to do it’s job properly.

Installing an electric strike to a door inside of your business is an excellent way to prevent unwanted intrusions or burglaries by only allowing the door to open by-way of an access control system. When you utilize an electric strike, the door is opened via some sort of remote release that can be controlled from a distance, no key necessary. An electric strike can be set up so that it is opened automatically with a door opener so as to comply with the American Disabilities Act.

It is important to understand the electric strike alone does not cause the door to be secure, rather it is the door handle and/or lock. The electric strike permits a door to open by releasing a hinge, called the strike, inside of the latch area of the lock. How is a door unlocked when it has an electric strike? The electric strike is wired to some sort of system, such as an intercom or a keypad that causes it to gain energy and pop the hinge upward, thus unlocking and opening the doorway.  An electric strike is used to allow people access through a door without having to provide them all with a key. It is essential for a door to have an external lock in order for an electric strike to be installed.

When purchasing an electric strike, you need to know that they can be either “fail safe” or “fail secure”. This means that the electric strike will either be stuck in a locked or unlocked position when there is a power failure. Fail secure means that the lock will not open and the vice versa for fail safe types of electric strikes. Choosing the right electric strike for your business takes proper consideration, and your local Portland locksmith is open to discussing with you your options.
