Electric Strikes Installation

Buzz people in without leaving the front desk. We install and wire electric strikes that work with your door and your access control.

Electric strike installation is the wiring and mounting of an electric strike, a door release that lets you unlock a door remotely with a buzzer, keypad, card reader, or intercom. Apex Locksmith Pros' commercial techs match the strike to your door frame, lock type, and access system, then test it for clean release and proper relock. We work across 20 North Dallas cities from our McKinney base, usually on-site in about 20 to 30 minutes.

Simple & fast

How Electric Strike Installation Works

We check the door, pick the right strike, and wire it in so it locks and releases the way you need.

  1. 1

    On-site assessment

    A tech looks at your door, frame, lock, and how you want to control entry. We confirm whether you need fail-safe or fail-secure and check that the frame can take a strike.

  2. 2

    Mount and wire the strike

    We cut the frame to fit, mount the strike, and run wiring to your power supply and your release device, whether that's a desk buzzer, keypad, card reader, or intercom.

  3. 3

    Test and hand off

    We cycle the door, confirm clean release and solid relock, check the latch alignment, and walk you through daily use before we close out the job.

  4. 4

    Settle the flat quote

    The price set after the assessment is the whole bill, strike, wiring runs, and testing together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fail-safe strikes unlock when power is cut, which suits doors that must release in a fire or outage. Fail-secure strikes stay locked when power is lost, which keeps a door secured for most exterior entries; we help you pick the right one for your door and code.

Usually yes. We check that your frame and lock will accept a strike, and if the fit is tight we'll tell you up front what it takes to make it work.

Yes. We wire the strike to a desk buzzer, keypad, card reader, or intercom, and match the voltage and mode so the release works the way you expect.

It can, but it depends on the door and your local code. We set fail-safe or fail-secure to match your egress and fire requirements and flag anything that needs review before we install.

A single door is often done in a few hours once we're on-site, depending on frame prep and wiring runs. We give you the time estimate in the quote after the assessment.
