ELECTRIC STRIKE SERVICES WE HANDLE

  • Strike Repair

    Solenoid burnout, keeper misalignment, voltage drift, and wiring faults on existing installations.

  • New Installation

    Retrofit or new-construction electric strikes on steel, hollow-metal, and aluminum storefront doors.

  • Access Control Integration

    Wire and configure strikes as the output device for card reader, keypad, and intercom systems.

  • Code Compliance

    NFPA 80, NFPA 101, and Texas Fire Code configuration. Fail-safe and fail-secure settings to match your occupancy type.

HOW ELECTRIC STRIKE SERVICE WORKS

  1. Call or Send a Request

    Describe the door type, access control system, and what the strike is doing. We ask about voltage, brand, and frame material so we can bring the right parts on the first visit.

  2. Assess and Voltage-Test

    On site, we measure supply voltage under load, check frame alignment, and test access control wiring continuity. A voltage reading that looks good at the panel can sag to unusable levels at the strike.

  3. Source and Quote

    We specify the matching strike by geometry, voltage, fail-mode, and frame prep requirements. Written quote provided before any work begins.

  4. Install and Verify

    Strike mounted per manufacturer template. Keeper alignment set and torqued. Fail-safe or fail-secure mode confirmed. NFPA egress behavior tested before we leave.

THE SETTING THAT MATTERS MOST

Fail-Safe vs Fail-Secure: Getting the Mode Right the First Time

When a building loses power, a fail-safe electric strike unlocks. That is the correct behavior for any door on a fire egress path, a fire-alarm circuit, or a main exit corridor. NFPA 101 Life Safety Code requires that egress paths remain passable during a fire event, which means cutting power to the strike must open the door, not lock it.

Fail-secure does the opposite: the door stays locked when power is cut. Server rooms, data closets, pharmacies, and interior secured areas typically use fail-secure. A power outage in a data center is not a fire emergency. Keeping the room locked during an outage is the right call. The mistake we see most often on retrofitted systems is fail-secure strikes installed on corridor doors that should be fail-safe. A fire marshal will catch it. We catch it first.

  • Fail-safe: egress corridors, fire doors, main exits
  • Fail-secure: server rooms, pharmacies, data closets, secured interior areas
  • NFPA 80 fire door assembly compliance verified at installation
  • Voltage measured under load, not just at the panel

12V / 24V

Most common supply voltages. Wrong voltage is the leading cause of early solenoid failure.

  • I had “Pros On Call” change the locks on my home that I recently purchased. It was easy to get a hold of them, they made an appointment quickly and did a great job for a fair price. I had them come out about two weeks later and put a deadbolt lock on my front door as well and again - easy to get a hold of, they had to order an aged bronze deadbolt lock 🔐 but once it arrived they came out quickly, did a great job, were neat and it was a fair price. I highly recommend “Pros On Call” for all of your Locksmith needs! 5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ for sure!!

  • It sucks they charge an inconvenience fee of 49.00. Which I wish you would have mentioned this on our intial call. Transparency would have been to say hey we charge an inconvenience fee. Never once was this mentioned. When we spoke with the representative all she said was the locksmith will call you with a price. Never once did she say we take your payment info so we can charge you an inconvenience fee. If that was mentioned then this would have been handled differently. She made it seem like we need a card on file to help. Then they attempted to debit my card twice for two separate transactions for 49.00. I understand you run a business. But transparency is key. I specifically asked her what I would be charged for never once did she mention this. Lesson learned. Update***she reached out in regards to my Google review. Although I attempted to resolve per phone call. Shameless.

  • I had Zach come out to the property that I purchased out in Luling, Texas. It’s about 10 acres, and it has a garage with a corroded lock. Out of all the companies I have called, which is roughly 5 to 6. He was able to take my call, head out the next day, and take care of the corroded lock I need fixed on my property. He was extremely professional and helped me by giving me instructions on how to operate the lock as well! I’m in the military and not able to be in the area, so he was very understanding and professional. Highly recommend!

  • Their response time was great. Orlando did a great job. No replacement parts were needed and repairs took an hour. I was badly disappointed at the high bill, even with a military discount. Maybe that is why I couldn’t get an approximate estimate before Orlando came. Bottom line : good work, too expensive

ELECTRIC STRIKE QUESTIONS

How much does electric strike repair cost?

Solenoid replacement or keeper realignment typically runs $150 to $350 for parts and labor. Full strike replacement on an existing frame runs $250 to $600 for the strike plus $150 to $250 labor, depending on the brand, voltage, and frame condition. Aluminum storefront frames often require additional prep work, which adds $100 to $200. We give you a written scope and price before any work starts.


How long does electric strike installation take?

A straightforward replacement on a steel hollow-metal frame takes two to three hours. New installation with conduit run for the low-voltage wiring adds another one to two hours. Aluminum storefront narrow-stile frames take longer because the hardware geometry is more constrained. We can handle most single-door installations in a half-day service call.


Which electric strike brands do you carry and service?

We stock and service HES (Allegion), Von Duprin, Adams Rite, RCI, Trine, SDC, and Folger Adam. HES and Von Duprin cover most Texas commercial specs. Adams Rite is the right call for aluminum narrow-stile storefronts. Folger Adam handles correctional and government-grade applications. If your building already has a specific brand installed, we match it so the wiring, voltage, and keeper geometry stay consistent.


Does an electric strike need to comply with fire code?

Yes, when it is installed on a fire-rated door assembly. The strike must be UL-listed for the door's fire rating, and the fail-safe or fail-secure setting must match the occupancy type. NFPA 80 governs fire door hardware specifications. NFPA 101 Life Safety Code governs egress behavior. If your door is on a fire-rated corridor, stairwell, or tenant separation wall, the strike needs to be properly rated and configured. We verify the door label before ordering hardware.


Fail-safe vs fail-secure: which setting should my building use?

Fail-safe means the door unlocks when power is cut. Use this on egress paths, fire exit corridors, and any door on a fire alarm circuit. If the building loses power, people can still get out. Fail-secure means the door stays locked when power is cut. Use this on data closets, server rooms, pharmacies, and areas where security matters more than unrestricted egress. Most commercial buildings use fail-safe on corridor doors and fail-secure on interior secured rooms. We configure the correct mode at installation.


Can a property manager or facility director install an electric strike themselves?

Technically possible on a simple non-rated door, but there are real risks. Wrong voltage wiring will burn out the solenoid within weeks. Wrong fail mode on a fire-rated door is a code violation. Keeper misalignment causes the latch to bind or miss entirely. A licensed commercial locksmith installs to manufacturer specs, verifies voltage under load, tests egress behavior, and documents the work for your building file. That documentation matters at your next fire marshal inspection.


Do you service electric strikes after hours?

Yes. We operate 24/7 across all Texas markets. After-hours service carries a surcharge of $75 to $150 depending on the time and location. If a strike fails and an entry door is unsecured overnight, that is an emergency we treat as same-day priority. Call (888) 601-6005 any time.
