Electric Strikes

Match the strike to the lock

• Hager 2925 is for cylindrical locks.
• Hager 2928 and 2930 work with cylindrical or mortise locks; the 2930 is ordered by lock type.
• Hager 2945 surface mounts for rim exit devices.
• Detex DS-24W is a weatherized strike for rim panic exit devices, also sold as a kit.

Check the latch projection, frame material and strike cutout before ordering. For rim, mortise and vertical rod devices, see choosing an exit device.

Fail safe vs fail secure

A fail secure strike stays locked when power is removed. A fail safe strike unlocks when power is removed. Strikes on fire-rated doors must be fail secure and listed for fire doors so the door stays latched in a fire. Read access control and the fire alarm for how this ties into the building system.

Power and wiring

Confirm the strike voltage matches your power supply and access control panel, and plan the wire path through the frame. For a full electrified opening, ask your installer about door position and request-to-exit signals. Questions on a specific opening? Call 346-777-3031.
