Constructed from stainless steel, it integrates a voltage surge suppressor and provides a holding force of 500kg. The lock is designed to convert a cylindrical lockset into an electronic access-controlled locking system, fitting most metal or wooden doors with minimal frame modification. It offers a static strength of 1,000 pounds and features a solenoid with two contacts and no polarity requirement. Weight: 0.6393405598 Pounds. Manufacturer: UHPPOTE. This product complies with all applicable laws and Joom and European Union policies on product safety and compliance.
This UHPPOTE Electric Door Strike is designed for users seeking to upgrade wooden, metal, or PVC doors to an electronic access control system. Its key benefit is providing fail-safe operation, unlocking when power is lost, which is crucial for emergency egress. A potential caveat is the need for minimal frame modification during installation, requiring some DIY or professional assistance. The electric strike converts standard locksets into an electronically managed system, featuring a durable stainless steel construction, a robust holding force, and voltage surge suppression for reliability.

Troubleshooting
Door strike does not unlock when power is applied/removed.
Verify power supply connections to the solenoid. Ensure the correct voltage is being supplied. Check the wiring for any breaks or loose connections. Confirm the solenoid is functioning by testing it with a known working power source.
Strike mechanism jams or does not align properly.
Check for obstructions in the strike plate or on the door edge. Ensure the keeper on the door is aligned perfectly with the strike plate on the frame. Minor adjustments to the frame or door might be necessary.
Solenoid overheats.
Ensure the strike is not being held in a continuously energized state for extended periods if not designed for it. Verify that the power supply voltage is within the specified range for the solenoid. Check for mechanical binding that might cause the solenoid to work harder than necessary.
