Electric strike locks are quite versatile and can be used with a variety of door types:
Wooden Doors
Solid Wood Doors: These are a common choice for interior applications such as in offices, homes, and some commercial settings. Electric strike locks can be easily installed on solid wood doors. The density of the wood provides a stable base for the installation of the strike plate and the associated hardware. However, it's important to ensure that the screws used for installation are of an appropriate length to penetrate the wood without splitting it. For example, in a high - end office with solid wood interior doors, an electric strike lock can be installed to provide access control to restricted areas such as server rooms or executive offices.
Hollow - Core Wood Doors: These doors are lighter and less expensive than solid wood doors and are often used in less - secure interior applications like closets or some non - critical office partitions. While they can be used with Electromagnetic strike lock, additional reinforcement may be needed. This is because the hollow - core structure may not provide sufficient strength to support the repeated use of the lock. For instance, if an electric strike lock is installed on a hollow - core door in a hotel room, it might be necessary to insert a wooden or metal reinforcement plate inside the door to prevent the door from warping or the strike from loosening over time.
Metal Doors
Steel Doors: Commonly used in industrial, commercial, and high - security settings such as banks, data centers, and warehouses. Electric strike locks work well with steel doors due to the door's strength and durability. The installation process usually involves drilling precise holes in the steel frame and door to mount the strike and other components. The metal - to - metal contact between the strike and the latch provides a secure connection. In a bank vault, for example, an electric strike lock installed on a steel door can be integrated with an advanced access control system to ensure only authorized personnel can enter.
Aluminum Doors: These are popular for their lightweight and corrosion - resistant properties. They are often used in modern commercial buildings, especially for exterior storefronts and some interior applications. Electric strike locks can be installed on aluminum doors, but special care must be taken to avoid corrosion between the different metals (the lock's components and the aluminum door). This may involve using anti - corrosion coatings or gaskets to prevent electrolytic reactions that could damage the door or the lock.
Glass Doors
Framed Glass Doors: These doors have a metal or wood frame that surrounds the glass panel. Fail-safe electric strike lock can be installed on the frame, similar to how they are installed on regular wooden or metal doors. The lock's strike plate is attached to the frame, and the latch on the door engages with it. In a retail store with glass - framed entrance doors, an electric strike lock can be used to control access during business hours and secure the store after hours.
Frameless Glass Doors: Installing electric strike locks on frameless glass doors is more challenging but still possible. Special clamps or brackets are often used to attach the lock components to the glass. These types of doors are commonly found in high - end commercial buildings and luxury residences. The installation of a Fail-safe electric strike lock on a frameless glass door requires precise engineering to ensure the door's aesthetics are not compromised while maintaining security. For example, in a high - rise office building's glass - walled conference rooms, frameless glass doors with electric strike locks can provide a seamless and secure access solution.
