Abstract: An electromagnetic lock assembly includes a magnet block having a coil assembly and a connection for receiving an electrical current; and a control system having a detection circuit and an activation circuit, wherein the detection circuit senses a voltage across the coil and automatically sends an activation signal to the activation circuit when the voltage decreases from a supply voltage to a reference threshold voltage, the activation circuit increasing the electrical current through or the voltage across the coil assembly upon receipt of the activation signal. The electromagnetic lock assembly may further include an armature for coupling with the magnet block, wherein the supply voltage is configured by the control system to magnetically couple the armature and the magnet block absent an external separating force applied against the armature or magnet block.

Abstract: An electric strike assembly includes a housing including a mounting device and defining an internal longitudinal cavity, a keeper pivotally arranged in the housing, and a selectively locatable component including a locking device to cooperate with the mounting device to secure the component at a predetermined incremental position along the length of the removable cavity. In accordance with other aspects of the present invention, an electric strike assembly includes a housing defining an internal longitudinal cavity, a keeper pivotally arranged in the housing, and a keeper shim assembly, including a shim, slidably engaged with the keeper to position the shim at a predetermined position along a length of the cavity. A method of securely capturing a latch bolt mounted in a door includes mounting an electric strike assembly in an associated door jamb and positioning a shim at a predetermined position in the cavity.
