FAQs

1. What is an electric strike used for?
   An electric strike replaces a standard door strike and works with a latch or deadlatch on the door. When the strike receives power from an access control system, the internal keeper pivots to allow the latch to release so the door can open. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
2. What does fail safe mean for an electric strike?
   Fail safe means the strike unlocks when electrical power is removed. This is often required for safety-compliant installations where doors must automatically unlock during power failure or emergency situations.
3. Can the ES151 be used outdoors?
   Yes. The ES151 features an IP56 weather-resistant rating, allowing it to operate in exposed installations such as exterior doors or gates where protection from dust and water is required.
