Installation Complexity

Removing the Old Strike Plate: The first step is to remove the existing non-electric strike plate. This usually requires only a screwdriver, but if the screws are rusted or difficult to remove, some WD-40 or other lubricant may be needed to assist. However, care must be taken not to damage the door frame during the removal process.

Preparing the Installation Space: After removing the old strike plate, you need to make room for the new electric strike. Use a pencil to trace around the edge of the strike on the door frame and confirm the depth of the hole. Then, use a drill or roto-zip to enlarge the hole. This step requires some accuracy to ensure that the hole is of the right size and depth to fit the electric strike lock.

Wiring: An electric strike lock needs wires to provide power and receive control signals. One way is to run the wiring through the wall to a point near the door frame and then drill a deep hole through the door frame to run wires from the lock to the wires in the wall. Another way is to run wires around the inside of the door frame to a connection point on the hinge side of the wall. This part of the work requires some basic knowledge of electrical wiring to ensure the safety and proper connection of the wires.

Installing the Lock: Place the electric strike door lock and make sure that it is aligned correctly so that it slides easily into the strike hole. Screw all pieces in securely. This step needs to ensure that the lock is installed firmly and in the correct position to ensure normal operation.

Connecting to the Control System: The electric strike lock needs to be connected to the central wiring system or access control system. If it is a simple access control system, just connect the power supply and control lines according to the instructions; if it is a more complex system, it may need to be configured and debugged, which requires some understanding of the access control system.


Professional Installation

For Complex Systems or Lack of Experience: If the access control system is complex and involves multiple components and functions, or if you have no experience in electrical work and door lock installation, it is recommended to hire a professional installer. Professional installers have the necessary tools, skills and experience to ensure the correct installation and commissioning of the lock, and can also provide after-sales service and support.

For Simple Installations: If the installation environment is simple and you have some basic DIY skills and electrical knowledge, you can try to install it yourself by following the installation manual provided by the manufacturer. However, before installation, it is necessary to carefully read the manual and understand the installation steps and precautions to avoid mistakes.
