It is easy to install and connect and offers variable voltage and accommodates cylindrical locksets with a 5/8” throw. The AES-200 is BHMA Grade 2 and is listed to 1000 lbs static strength and latch monitoring.

Both electric strikes offer field selectable fail secure/fail safe operation, are fully reversible for right or left hand doors, and include two 4-7/8” stainless steel faceplates in the mounting kit.

The new APS-300 UL listed access control power supply is manufactured in the USA and provides sufficient power to support up to three magnetic locks or electric strikes plus required exit devices. The power supply features a universal AC input of 110 to 240 Volts and an output of 3 Amps at 12VDS and 1.5 Amps at 24VDC.
