  • Publication number: 20240318466
    Abstract: A surface mounted electric strike for selectively retaining a door latch of a door is provided. A strike housing defines a cavity and is mounted to a door frame surface. A keeper is mounted within the housing and rotatable between a latched position and an unlatched position. The keeper includes a keeper stop face that is disposed at an angle relative to a keeper face to limit the rotation of the keeper about the axis of rotation between about 45-60 degrees when the keeper moves between latched and unlatched positions. An actuating assembly is configured for moving between a first mode and a second mode, wherein when the actuating assembly is in the first mode the keeper is prevented from moving toward the unlatched position, and wherein when the actuating assembly is in the second mode the keeper is permitted to move toward the unlatched position.

  • Patent number: 12031355
    Abstract: A surface mounted electric strike for selectively retaining a door latch of a door is provided. The electric strike comprises a housing mounted to a surface of the door frame, wherein the housing defines a cavity configured for receiving the door latch. A keeper is mounted within the housing and movable between a latched position and an unlatched position. The keeper includes a keeper body portion and an extended lobe portion having a terminal end. An actuating assembly is configured for moving between a first mode and a second mode, wherein when the actuating assembly is in the first mode the keeper is prevented from moving toward the unlatched position, and wherein when the actuating assembly is in the second mode the keeper is permitted to move toward the unlatched position.

  • Publication number: 20240191545
    Abstract: A modular surface mounted electric strike system is provided. The system comprises a universal base plate configured to be mounted to a door frame and including first and second mounting points. The system further includes an electric strike module configured to receive the door latch and includes a keeper assembly and an actuator assembly. The actuator assembly is configured for moving between a first mode for preventing the keeper assembly from moving toward an unlatched position and a second mode for permitting the keeper assembly to move toward the unlatched position. When the door latch is in a first position relative to the door frame, the electric strike module is attached to the first mounting point. When the door latch is in a second position relative to the door frame, the electric strike module is attached to the second mounting point of the universal base plate.

  • Patent number: 11885154
    Abstract: A modular surface mounted electric strike system is provided. The system comprises a universal base plate having first and second sides, each having first and second mounting points. Each electric strike module includes a header, a keeper assembly, and an actuator assembly configured for moving between a keeper blocking mode and a second mode. When the first and second latches are separated a first distance, the first and second electric strike modules are attached to the first mounting locations on the respective first and second sides of the base plate. When the first and second latches are separated a second distance, the first electric strike module is attached to the second mounting location on either the first or second sides of the base plate, and the second electric strike module is attached to the second mounting location on the other of the first or second side of the base plate.
