Electric Strikes & Mag Locks: common questions
Electric strike or mag lock: which should I use?
An electric strike keeps your existing lockset and lets the door open freely from the inside, so it is the default for most doors. A mag lock holds the door shut from both sides and needs a release device inside, so it is used where a strike will not fit or where the door has no latch, such as glass doors.
What is the difference between fail-safe and fail-secure?
Fail-secure hardware stays locked when power is lost; fail-safe unlocks. Mag locks are always fail-safe. Strikes come in both. Doors on the exit path or tied to the fire alarm generally need to release, while stockrooms and server rooms usually stay locked. We specify each door individually.
What happens to my electric locks when the fire alarm goes off?
Locks on the path of exit must release on alarm, which is done by interrupting their power through the fire alarm panel. Doors that can always be opened from the inside by a lever or exit device may not need this, but the fire code decides, not preference. We coordinate the interface with your alarm contractor.
Can an existing electric strike be reused with a new access control system?
Often, yes, if it is the right voltage and fail mode for the new design and is still latching reliably. Strikes are inexpensive relative to the rest of the system, so we replace worn ones during the upgrade rather than inherit a fault.
