Secure the wires.Ĭrimp the connector and plug it into the strike's correct connecting unit. Finish the wiring by pulling the wires through the strike hole and connecting a pigtail connector to the end.
Most models will require two wires: one for power and one to operate the strike. Once your frame has been cut, you will need to thread the included wiring through the frame so that the wires are touching the strike.
Using a reciprocating saw, cut the frames to the right dimensions. Most frames will need to be modified a little before the electric strikes can be installed and you can do this by using the template that came with the electric strike kit. Most electric strikes makes will come in model sizes and you should find the size you need. This will depend on which type of lock you are using on your door. You will also need to purchase the correct faceplate.
You will also need to read about each structure to make sure it is the right size for your fire doors. When purchasing your electric strikes, make sure that you get models that will still work under extreme heat. If your doors are made with bolts, you will need to change the bolt system to a latching system before moving on. Electric strikes are designed to be used with latch-type locks and will not work with bolts.
You must make sure that the electric strike system will work with you doors. Because of this, you must make sure that the door is able to open from the inside out without the mechanical release so that if anyone is trapped in the building they will be able to get out to safety. Electric strikes will work with several types of mechanical locking systems including card readers, buzzers, and other release systems.
