Electric strike for high‑security environments
STEP 18 Secure is a fast and highly durable electric strike built for environments with maximum intrusion resistance and evacuation requirements. Ideal for doors subject to high-frequency use where uncompromising security is essential, such as banks, prisons, military facilities, offices etc.
For door environments with the highest security requirements
- Certified for burglary protection in Grade 7 acc. to EN 14846.
- Certified for burglary protection in class 2A, 2B acc. to SSF 3522
- STEP 18 Secure in RC version is approved in class RC3 and RC4 acc. to EN 1627, together with selected security doors.
The electric strike plate withstands a high breaking strength of 1 500 kg and has an electrically controlled anti-tamper mechanism that protects against manipulation of the locking function. Full breaking strength is achieved in both fail-safe and fail-secure function.
Handles evacuation and re-entry
STEP 18 Secure can be used in emergency exit doors together with an emergency exit lock case acc. to EN 179. It is also suitable for use on doors equipped with an emergency release button. Handles re-entry.
For door environments with fire requirements
Certified in fire technical class E/EI60 acc. to EN 14846.
Integrated bolt contact and barrier contact
A built-in bolt contact detects whether the door is open or closed, while an integrated barrier contact indicates whether the door is locked or unlocked. This means you can see that the door is actually locked, not just closed.
With patented STEP Preload technology
Modern door environments place high demands on sound insulation, indoor climate and fire requirements. This requires tightly sealed doors, which in turn results in high preload pressure.
Several factors can further increase the strain on the lock, such as unsynchronized door automation, snow or gravel on the threshold, or a slightly warped door.
STEP Preload technology ensures that STEP 18 Secure can unlock even under preload pressures of up to 500 kg. This patented technology withstands comparison and sets the standard for the entire industry.
