Product SKU: ES9100
Product Overview
The Lockwood ES9100 Electric Strike Preload Monitored with Door Position Monitoring 10-30VDC is a heavy-duty electric strike designed for high-security access control installations. Built to operate reliably even when doors are under pressure, the ES9100 can release with up to 25kg of side load applied to the keeper. This makes it particularly suitable for doors affected by seals, air pressure or misalignment. With integrated monitoring for door position, latch status and lock operation, the strike provides advanced system feedback for professional access control systems.
Why Choose the ES9100
The ES9100 is engineered for demanding commercial environments where reliability and monitoring capabilities are critical. Its pre-load release mechanism ensures the door can unlock even when pressure is applied, which is a common issue with standard electric strikes. Multi-voltage support allows installation across a range of access control systems, while the monitored design provides detailed door and lock status signals to the security system. With strong holding force, weather-resistant construction and extensive endurance testing, the ES9100 delivers dependable performance for busy entrances and secure facilities.
Key Capabilities
Pre-Load Release Technology
The ES9100 can unlock even when up to 25kg of pressure is applied to the door. This capability ensures reliable operation in real-world conditions where doors may experience pressure from seals, air-conditioning systems or people pulling on the door before it unlocks.
Advanced Monitoring Outputs
Integrated monitoring provides signals for lock status, latch position and door position. These outputs allow the access control system to confirm whether the door is properly closed and locked, improving security system awareness and event monitoring.
High Strength Commercial Locking
With a static holding force of up to 1300kg, the strike provides strong mechanical locking suitable for high-traffic doors and security-sensitive environments. This level of strength helps maintain secure door engagement under demanding conditions.
Flexible Fail Safe or Fail Secure Operation
The strike can be configured on site for either fail-safe or fail-secure operation. This allows installers to match the lock behaviour with building safety requirements or access control policies without replacing hardware.
Weather-Resistant Construction
With an IP54 environmental rating, the ES9100 is designed to operate reliably in demanding environments where exposure to dust or moisture may occur. This makes it suitable for many internal and external door installations.

FAQs
- What does pre-load mean for an electric strike?
Pre-load refers to pressure applied to the door or latch before the strike unlocks. This can occur when someone pulls on the door while waiting for it to unlock, or when building pressure pushes the door against the frame. The ES9100 is designed to release even when up to 25kg of side pressure is applied, ensuring reliable operation in these conditions. - What monitoring functions does the ES9100 provide?
The ES9100 provides monitoring outputs for door position, latch position and lock status. These signals allow the access control system to verify whether the door is closed, whether the latch is engaged and whether the strike mechanism is locked. - Can the ES9100 be used with access control systems?
Yes. The ES9100 is designed for integration with access control systems such as card readers, keypads and intercoms. When connected to a controller, it allows authorised users to unlock the door electronically while maintaining strong mechanical locking when the strike is not activated.
