Frequently Asked Questions

What Is an Electric Strike Lock

An electric strike lock is an electrically operated locking device that allows a door to be released remotely when connected to an access control system, intercom, keypad, or door entry system. The strike works with an existing latch or lock to provide secure access control.

What Is the Difference Between the 1560 and 1561?

The 1560 is a fail secure electric strike, meaning power is required to unlock the door. The 1561 is a fail safe electric strike, meaning power is required to keep the door locked and it will unlock if power is removed.

What Does Fail Secure Mean?

Fail secure means the electric strike remains locked if power is lost. This type of operation is commonly used where maintaining security during a power failure is important.

What Does Fail Safe Mean?

Fail safe means the electric strike unlocks when power is removed. This type of operation is commonly used on doors where safe emergency egress is required during a power failure or emergency condition.

Are the 1560 and 1561 Suitable for UPVC Doors?
