1. Fail Secure Configuration: An electric strike requires power to function. When the power is out, the door will remain locked, preventing your customers and your staff from leaving the premises. This could be considered a safety hazard. Our technicians will make sure your electric strike has a proper fail secure setting in the event of a power loss.
2. Fail Safe Setting: This is the exact opposite of the previous one. When there is a power outage the doors will get automatically unlocked, and while this gives the people the possibility to exit your store safely, it also leaves the proverbial (and literal) door open for threats to walk in.
3. Reversible Strikes: This is the most popular of all-electric strikes, as it grants you the power to switch between the Fail Secure and the Fail Safe settings quicker and more effectively.
