    Installation Overview

    1. Measure and mark the door latch line and the center line of the door.
    2. Prepare the door frame for installation.
    3. Set either fail-safe or fail-secure operation.
    4. Connect to power.

    Surface Mount Installation

    1. Measure the center line of the latch ("Y").
    2. Measure the distance from the door latch to the edge of the door frame — the door latch line ("X").
    3. Measure distance "X" from the side of the door frame and distance "Y" from the top of the door frame; mark where the two lines intersect.
    4. From this mark, measure up and down 3 3/4" (95mm) and 3 7/32" (82mm) to mark the 4 holes to drill. Mount the blind nuts in the top and bottom holes, and drill the middle holes to accept the Phillips flat-head screws.
    5. Make the wire connections, then mount the strike to the frame with the hex socket head cap screws and the Phillips flat-head screws.

    Selecting Fail-Safe / Fail-Secure

    Remove locking screw #1, loosen, slide, and tighten sliding screw #2 to the desired position. Reinsert and tighten locking screw #1 to lock in the fail-safe or fail-secure setting.

    Wiring Diagram

    For 12VDC operation: Use the included wiring connector marked "12VDC." Plug the male wiring connector into the female wiring harness connector of the door strike (black wire, red wire, white wire).

    For 24VDC operation: Use the included wiring connector marked "24VDC." Plug the male wiring connector into the female wiring harness connector of the door strike.

    Troubleshooting

    Symptom Possible Cause / Fix
    Electric strike does not activate Dismount the strike and check that the wiring connector is connected properly. Ensure the connector is connected to a 12 or 24VDC source. Use a multimeter to verify the strike is receiving proper voltage/amperage — use heavier gauge wire or a higher-output power supply if needed. Confirm the activation device (keypad or push-button switch) is working properly.
    Door does not open when the electric strike is activated Check that the door latch is operating properly and replace if necessary. The strike position may need adjustment — move it or add washers/shims.
    Strike makes a buzzing sound Use a DC power supply instead of AC power.
