STP Electric Strike Release Universal for Mortice and Rim Latch Doors

An electric strike release is the preferred access control method for doors fitted with mortice or rim latch locks where replacing the lock with a magnetic lock or electric latch is not desired or not practical. The electric strike fits into the door frame in the position occupied by the mechanical keeper, and is electrically released by the access control system to allow the door to be opened from the pull side when a valid credential is presented.

The universal compatibility with both mortice and rim latch locks makes this unit a practical specification for installations where the existing lock type is variable across multiple doors, or where the door lock type cannot be confirmed in advance of the installation. A single product line covering both lock types simplifies procurement and reduces the risk of an incompatible component being brought to site.

Electric strikes are typically used in a fail-secure configuration (the strike remains locked on power loss), which is appropriate for access-controlled doors that are not on a fire escape route. For fire door installations, a fail-safe configuration is required, and the specification should be confirmed against the building’s fire risk assessment.

For access control installers completing single-door and multi-door installations on properties across London and the UK where an electric strike is the correct access hardware for the existing mortice or rim latch door configuration, the STP JIS universal electric strike provides a single product covering both lock types.
