An electric door strike, also known as a door operator, is an access control hardware device that is mounted in a door frame. It is used in combination with a lockset or panic bar. An electric strike enables a door to be locked, yet be opened electronically from a keypad, intercom, card reader, or remote. When the strike is activated, the latch mechanism retracts, allowing the door to be opened without having to turn the lock.
They are widely used in commercial doors, community gates, and secure areas to provide controlled entry without the need for a physical key for every user.
