Mortice Strike Release for Overnight Deadlocking

If you'd like to make use of an electric strike release on your doors, but wish to still be able to utilise the deadlocking part of your lock overnight for extra security, then this solution we have put together is designed to do just that!

Normally, when you decide to put an electric door release on any door, you're left in a situation where you can no longer make use of the deadlock part of your sash-lock overnight, or during other times where leaving the door secured only by the latch part sitting into the strike release may not be ideal for you in terms of security.  But with our overnight deadlocking strike release solution, now you can!

Utilising this setup means that you would continue to use only the latch part of your lock during the day or other operational hours, so that entry can be granted by successful trigger of the strike release.  However, it then means you can deadlock the door overnight for example, or indeed during any period of time where you do not want the strike release to allow the door to be released.

The faceplate we have selected for this kit has been chosen with diversity in mind.  Designed to take the vast majority of deadbolts, we consider this to be a universal solution.  But we have also put together a clear diagram labelling everything so that you can be sure this is the right solution for you.  It is also universally handed; the faceplate is designed to be fitted either way, with the fixing holes countersunk on both sides.

Available in 12v AC / DC models as well as 24v DC models, there's a whole range of options available to suit a majority of installations.

We have also selected a diverse lock case that will accept both Euro-Profile and Oval-Profile cylinders, and offers latch-retention, so that when you utilise a fixed taylors spindle or similar to fix the external handle in order to prevent people simply using the handle to open the door, you can still gain access to the property using a key, by turning the key a quarter-turn in the 'unlocking' direction (depending on the handing of your door) - this will pull back the latch to allow you to open the door without use of the strike release.

If you do not already have a cylinder to operate this lock, please by all means head over to our Euro Cylinder Range - here we have a choice of high security and more budget solutions, available in standard key-both-sides options (known as 'Double Cylinders'), thumbturn cylinders which have a thumbturn on the inside, or single-sided cylinders, which as the name suggests, would simply provide a keyway for the outside to allow key driven access.
