How To Order Electric Strikes

Order by specifying:  Model x Function x Voltage x Finish

Function is the area that trips most people us because it relates to unfamiliar terms.  But there is an easy method for understanding function.  Imagine taking the electric strike out of the box and holding it in your hand.  If it is locked it is called Fail Secure.  That is, should the power fail the lock will be secure.

The opposite is Fail Safe.

Because different manufacturers use different terms for these two functions, below is a quick guide to various terms used.

Fail Safe Power Locked Add power to lock
Fail Secure Power Unlocked Add power to unlock

 

Von Duprin likes to be different.  They use the terms Fail Safe (FS) and Non-Fail Safe (NFS), which only adds to the confusion.

The short version of the story is that most electric strikes sold are Fail Secure (NFS).  The reason is that the door is locked 99% of the time and a Fail Secure strike is at rest 99% of the time.  Ordering a Fail Secure (NFS) strike means it will last a long, long time.
