Over the last several years, a number of electric strike manufacturers have introduced their versions of the "No Cut" centerline latch electric strike.
For some applications, a latch protector can be installed, covering the electric strike and providing protection against unauthorized access. Another downside of installing a conventional electric strike onto an outswing exterior door is the keeper mechanism is exposed to the elements, including those wishing to gain unauthorized access. The amount of material removed from the doorjamb to accommodate the electric strike depends upon the size of the electric strike body, faceplate and the design of the keeper.Įquipping an outswinging exterior door with a conventional electric strike exposes the keeper and the release mechanism, detracting from the aesthetics.
This visible portion of the conventional electric strike can detract from the overall appearance of an opening. Conventional electric strikes require cutting out a portion of the doorjamb to allow the latchbolt in the extended condition to exit the keeper, permitting the door to swing open.
