The electronic strikes from Openers & Closers are the disruptive innovation in the evolution of electric strikes or door openers.
Their development began in 2012, but it wasn't until two years later that we presented the first version at the Essen Fair in Germany with great acceptance.
Over the last ten years, we have perfected every detail and improved its usability with the enhancements our customers needed.
Openers & Closers has once again presented a second generation with a faster microchip and increased capacity to intelligently manage all functionalities. The electronic strikes allow operation in a voltage range of 6–28 V AC/DC with the particularity of continuous operation 100% ED in both alternating and direct current.
Its great versatility makes it an all-in-one. The electronic strikes facilitate purchase management, substantially reduce stock with fewer variants, but above all, improve the convenience of our customers in installations. They offer the peace of mind that they will work in any current range they encounter, saving time in installation and reducing travel.
Highlighted Solutions: Lateral Pressure, Temperature, and Consumption
The only ones capable of unlocking doors with lateral pressures of up to 500 N in alternating and direct current, with a minimal buzz of 65-69db at 0.4 seconds.
Lateral pressure on doors is often one of the most common issues in installation, as doors are increasingly heavier, seal hermetically for greater insulation, or there are numerous scenarios that generate such pushing force. With electronic strikes, the opening is programmed with a microchip to prevent this from happening.
Electronic strikes also stand out for their temperature control, limited to 40ºC. Temperature is a vital characteristic for fail-safe models found in most positive security access controls. These models receive power continuously, which can sometimes increase the mechanism's temperature up to 70ºC. The limiter incorporated in electronic strikes does not allow exceeding 40ºC to extend the mechanism's lifespan and prevent heat radiation from reaching the front or the door frame, which can be especially uncomfortable and risky in metal frames.
The electrical consumption of electronic strikes represents a significant 80% savings in fail-safe models where the power supply must be permanently connected.
Here are two examples of consumption:
- At 12 V DC, the normal consumption of an electric strike would be about 0.28 A compared to an electronic strike, which would be 0.04 A. In this case, it would be 86% less consumption.
- At 24 V DC, the normal consumption of an electric strike would be about 0.12 A compared to an electronic strike, which would be 0.02 A. In this case, it would be 80% less consumption.
Apart from consumption, operating at voltages as low as 6 volts makes them ideal for systems like video intercoms since they can be powered with the same power supply without adding more complexity to the system.
