INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
4. INSTALLATION
Note: Choose the appropriate option based on the type of frame or
gate you have. For a wooden jamb, drill holes to install the strike and use
supplied #10 - 1 x 1/4” self-tapping screws for mounting.
Option 1 For Hollow Metal Frame
1. Determine the location where the electric strike will be installed on
the door frame. This should align with the location of the latch on the
door.
2. Mark the outline of the electric strike on the jamb using a pencil or
marker.
3. Using a chisel, router, or jamb saw, cut out the mortise in the jamb
along the marked outline. The size of the mortise should match the
size of the electric strike. Make sure to cut to the depth specied in
gure 4.1.
4. Drill holes to mount the provided mounting bracket using 1/4” drill
bits.
5. Use provided #12 - 24 x 1/2” machine screws to mount the brackets
included in the package.
6. Test t the electric strike in the mortise. Make any necessary adjust-
ments to ensure a proper t.
7. Mount the strike onto the bracket using the included #12 - 24 x
1/2” machine screws.
Option 2 For ANSI Frame
8. Make sure that the door jamb/gate has an appropriate cutout to
accommodate strike assembly, If not then, refer to the dimension
section and cut the jamb if required.
9. Use the supplied #12 - 24 x 1/2” machine screws to secure it.
Option 3 Gate Mounting
10. Secure the supplied mounting box onto the gate through welding
or with the help of screws (see gure 4.3).
11. Secure the strike inside the box with the help of supplied #12 - 24 x
1/2” machine screws (see gure 4.2).
12. Run the wires from the electric strike through the jamb and into the
door. Connect the wires to the appropriate terminals on the electric
strike as mentioned in section 5.

6. OPERATION
Left Hand/Right Hand Door Assembly
The strike is symmetrical in design and thus, it can be installed on either left-handed or right handed doors (Inswing or Outswing) (gure 6.1). The strike
comes with a solenoid and its direction can be changed based on the requirements. Follow these steps to change the direction of the solenoid:
1. Loosen and remove the screws from back the of the strike as shown in gure 6.2.
2. Remove back cover plate from the assembly.
3. Loosen and remove solenoid screw and change solenoid direction as per requirements. (See gure 6.3 for more details).
4. Finally follow the same process in reverse chronological order for reassembling.
To determine the location/side of the solenoid, see following table and gure 6.1.
Door Side Swing Type Solenoid Location (If wires
are facing upward)
Left Hand Door Inswing Left Hand Side (LHS)
Outswing Right Hand Side (RHS)
Right Hand Door Inswing Right Hand Side (RHS)
Outswing Left Hand Side (LHS)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Fail Safe
Fail Safe/Fail Secure Mode
The strike comes with fail-secure mode by default. However, it can be
changed by reversing the spring direction. To change the direction of the
spring, kindly refer following steps:
1. Loosen and remove the screws from the back of the strike as shown in
the Figure 6.4.
2. Remove the back cover plate from the assembly.
3. Remove the tiny spring, shift the slider to the other side, and reinsert
the spring. (By-default the spring must be located to the Left Hand
Side (Fail secure mode) (Considering keeper faces upward))
4. For reassembling, repeat the process in reverse chronological order.
Note: The spring is very delicate and needs to be handled with care.
Important Note: After making any changes mentioned above,
make sure that the rubber Grommet sits accurately into the groove
of the back cover plate as shown in gure 6.5 while reassembling.
