Electric strikes & magnetic locking integration

Release, open and secure—with a defined design.

Electric strikes and magnetic locks perform different functions and have different installation and release requirements. Selection depends on the opening, mechanical hardware, applicable fire and egress provisions and the intended use. A product description or a generic fail-safe label cannot establish that a particular installation is appropriate.

Hardware coordination: review priorities

• Door and frame preparation and existing latch hardware
• Rated opening requirements and equipment suitability
• Power supply, release interfaces and door monitoring
• Required exit, emergency release and power-loss operation

Scoping electric strikes & magnetic locking integration

Treat locking integration as a coordinated hardware and controls project. Identify the qualified parties responsible for design, electrical work, access-control programming and inspections where required. Verify the agreed sequence with the installed system instead of judging success only by whether the door opens.

Your hardware coordination brief

Describe the existing lock type and whether the door is on an exit route or a rated opening. Include known hardware schedules and consultant requirements. Where these details are unknown, request a site assessment.
