Electric strikes are a popular choice for securing doors, for good reason, they are a cost-effective and versatile option. Electric strikes work with standard door hardware and can be configured to fail secure or fail-safe. They often also have outputs for monitoring the status of the locking solenoid (Lock Status Sensor, LSS) and the position

Voltage drop issues in security systems can be avoided with some simple calculations leading to correct cable selection. Theory We power electric locks and other devices via sheathed copper cable. This cable has a known resistance per meter and the electric device will require a known current. The resistance causes the voltage to drop as
