Can 12V electric strike lock be integrated with an existing access control system?

January 13 , 2025

A 12V electric strike lock can generally be integrated with an existing access control system, but several factors need to be considered:


Compatibility of Voltage and Signal

Power Supply Compatibility: Most access control systems are designed to work with a range of voltages. A 12V electric strike lock is a common voltage specification. If the access control system has a 12V power output option or can be adjusted to provide 12V output for the lock, then the power supply aspect of integration is possible. Some access control systems have built - in power supplies that can support multiple devices, including 12V electric strike locks.

Signal Compatibility: The access control system sends an activation signal to the electric strike lock when access is granted. This signal is usually in the form of a digital signal (e.g., a relay closure). The electric strike lock needs to be able to recognize and respond to this signal. Most modern 12V electric strike locks are designed to work with standard access control signals such as a momentary or latching signal. The access control system's output configuration (such as the duration and type of signal) needs to match the requirements of the electric strike lock. For example, if the electric strike lock requires a 1 - second momentary 12V signal to activate, the access control system should be able to provide such a signal.

Wiring and Connectivity

Wiring Requirements: Integrating a 12V electric strike lock into an existing access control system requires proper wiring. The lock usually has two or more wires - a power wire (positive) and a ground wire (negative), and sometimes an additional wire for signal feedback or other functions. The wiring needs to be run from the access control system's output terminals to the corresponding terminals of the electric strike lock. This may involve running wires through conduits or along the edges of walls and door frames. It's important to follow electrical safety codes and ensure that the wires are not exposed or at risk of damage.

Connector Compatibility: The connectors on the electric strike lock and the access control system need to be compatible. If they are not, adapter connectors may be needed. Some systems use screw - type terminals, while others may use plug - and - play connectors. Ensuring a proper physical connection is essential for the reliable operation of the integrated system.


System Configuration and Programming

Access Control Software/Hardware Configuration: The existing access control system may need to be configured to recognize and manage the new 12V electric strike lock. This could involve setting up user access rights, access schedules, and other parameters specific to the lock's location. For example, if the electric strike lock is installed on an exterior door, the access control system may need to be programmed to allow access only during business hours or to specific user groups.

Testing and Troubleshooting: After the initial integration, thorough testing is essential. This includes testing different access methods (such as using access cards, keypads, or biometric devices) to ensure that the 12V electric strike lock functions correctly. If there are any issues, such as the lock not activating or false activations, troubleshooting steps such as checking the wiring, signal strength, and system configurations need to be carried out.
