An electric strike together with a mechanical lock is scalable so that you choose different combinations of electric strikes and mechanical locks to fulfill the functions and conditions of the door. The right mechanical lock and the right electric strike can fulfill everything from the simplest function to the most advanced requirements on the door, where the electric strike, the door lock and the door are made for exactly what it is supposed to handle. The right function with the highest operational reliability without paying for something you do not need.

STEP’s patented Preload technology

A common problem is that a door is subjected to pressure, for example, because the door is a little skew or that gravel or snow has gathered at the doorstep. STEP 40 Preload is equipped with STEP’s patented Preload technology that allows the door to be unlocked even if subjected to pressures of up to 250 kg.

  • Seals and pressure differences – The Preload function enables the door to always be unlocked even when the door lock is tensioned against the electric strike.
  • Door automation – The Preload function combined with rapid unlocking means that the door opens quickly and without risk of becoming stuck.
  • Evacuation door – The Preload function ensures that a fire alarm can release the lock, despite pressure against the door by crowds, seals, pressure differences or warped doors.
  • Manipulation protection – The Preload function Resists influences in the form of manipulation and external violence.
Aesthetic mount and easy installation

With its small dimensions, the electric strike fits with little adjustment into the recess for the door’s standard strike plate.
