INSTALLATION

Electric Strikes

Instructions
The L65 Low Profile version accepts 1/2” or 5/8” latch projection (perfect for narrow stile aluminum frames). The S65 Standard
version is ideal when you require 3/4” latch projection.
1. Determine the vertical centerline of the door lock face and
the horizontal centerline of the latch.
IMPORTANT: When determining the horizontal centerline
observe the following:
FOR MORTISE LOCKS: Align the angled ramps of the lip
bracket with the deadlock trigger of the mortise latch.
FOR CYLINDRICAL LOCKS: Align the center of the latch with
the center of the strike opening.**

4. If required, install the ‘no weld’ mounting brackets per page 4.

2. Transfer both the horizontal and vertical centerlines to the
doorframe.**

7. Install the door strike in the doorframe using the screws
provided.

5. Attach the strike faceplate to the lip bracket with the selftapping screws provided. (It may be desirable to leave
these screws slightly loose to facilitate insertion into the
doorframe.
6. Connect the incoming wiring from the power supply (see
wiring instructions).

3. Prepare the doorframe for cutting as shown in the
appropriate drawing.

NOTE: Specifications subject to change without notice.
* Dimension F is measured from face of mounting tab to face of frame.
** Dimension X on the drawing is determined by the vertical centerline of the door. If the latch incorporates a deadlocking pin additional steps will be necessary to ensure proper operation of the deadlocking pin. Measure the thickness of the deadlocking pin and add this thickness to Dimension X to relocate the
vertical centerline an appropriate distance on the frame.

6 Series Installation Instructions (Continued)

Mounting Tab Kit Instructions
Mounting Tab
(2 incl.)

Mounting tab kit is for use with aluminum and steel frames that
do not have factory installed mounting tabs for electric strike
installation.
1. Prepare the frame as shown in the approximate drawing.
Fasten the mounting tab to the faceplate of the strike,
selecting the appropriate shims for the installation.

Self-Adhesive
Mounting Shim (8
incl.)

12-24 Machine
Screws (2 per tab)

2. Using the assembled strike and tabs as a template, place
against the frame and mark the mounting hole locations.
Remove and drill a 3/16” hole in frame for each mounting tab
and countersink the frame.
3. Remove the tabs from the faceplate and install in the frame
using the 12-24 x 3/8” machine screws supplied. Tabs are
zinc plated and drilled and tapped for this purpose.
4. Make final electrical connections per wiring instructions
and mount strike to the tabs with the 12-24 x 3/8” machine
screws.

Frame

Trim Plate Instructions
1. Position the Trim Plate on the frame cut-out to verify fit and
coverage.
2. Adjust cut-out if required.
3. Bend the four tabs to hold the Trim Plate onto the frame.
4. For a tighter fit, pre-bend the two long flange tabs before
sliding onto the frame where space allows.
5. Secure the strike to the frame as per strike installation
instructions.

6 Series Installation Instructions (Continued)
Wiring Instructions

Fail Unlocked
Rotate the adjustment screw so the dimple is fully rotated
to opposite the faceplate side of the strike (fully counter
clockwise). Your strike is now fail unlocked and requires power
to lock. See Fig. 1.

NOTE: Overheated or Burnt Coils caused by incorrect input
voltage / wire harness combinations will not be covered under
warranty.
Use 12VDC wire harness for 12VDC or 12-24VAC input power.
Use 24VDC wire harness for 24VDC input power only.
Attach the red wire to (+) positive of the power supply. Attach the
black wire to the (–) negative of the power supply (see Fig. 4).
If using AC power, polarity is not observed.

Fig. 1 Fail Unlocked = screw fully counter clockwise

NOTE: If a suppression diode is required for access control,
observe proper polarity.

Fail Locked
Rotate the adjustment screw so the dimple is fully rotated to the
faceplate side of the strike (fully clockwise). Your strike is now
fail locked and requires power to unlock the door. See Fig 2.

Lip Bracket Adjustment
If your door or latch is out of adjustment, the insert can be
adjusted forward or back as required for proper alignment to
the latch. See Fig. 3
1. Remove the strike from the frame.
2. Remove the faceplate from the strike.
3. 2 screws secure the lip bracket to the main insert.
4. Loosen these screws approximately 1-1/2 to 2 full turns to
allow the insert to move forward or backward as required.
5. Once the adjustment is made tighten all screws and
reinstall the strike in the frame.

6 Series Troubleshooting
Problem
1. Strike will not lock or

Possible Causes

Solution

No power to the insert

Using a multimeter, confirm that you have the correct output
voltage at the power supply.

unlock properly

Using a multimeter, confirm that you have the correct input
voltage at the strike.
Confirm that all connections are tight and secure.
Incorrect voltage used

Confirm that the insert and power supply are the proper voltage.

Strike is binding

Confirm that the strike keeper functions when the door is open. If
the strike operates correctly, adjust door or strike to eliminate any
backpressure.
Confirm that the strike cavity depth is compatible with the lock
set.

2. Strike releases but

Improper power supply

Replace the power supply with a correct voltage AC power supply,
and the 12V connector. If this cannot be done, a DC piezo buzzer
can be installed.

3. Strike makes a buzzing

Improper power supply

Replace the power supply with a correct voltage DC power supply.

Improper application

A strike connected to an AC power supply will buzz unless a
rectifier is installed.

Improper voltage

Confirm that you have the correct output voltage at the power supply.

Improper installation

Confirm that the correct connector was used when installing the
strike 12V for 12VDC & 12-24VAC, 24V for 24VDC only.

4. Insert has a burnt smell

Confirm that all connections are tight and secure.

5. Mortise lock not dead

Improper Installation

Check alignment of dead latch and lip bracket ramp.

Door has sagged

Adjust door alignment.

Cylindrical deadlatching not
working

Improper Installation /
Door has warped

Adjust the strike horizontal adjustment. (See Installation
Instructions).

Door won’t latch

Door has warped or sagged
creating excessive back
pressure

Re-align door in frame or replace.

Monitor switch is not
functioning

Short in wiring

Confirm that all connections are tight and secure.
Using a multimeter confirm continuity of the N/O & N/C sides of
the switch.

Latch or keeper are not
functioning properly

Confirm that the keeper is closing properly and that the lever in
the strike cavity is operating freely.
