Electric strike locks are generally safe and offer a high level of security, but their safety also depends on proper installation, usage, and maintenance. Whether to choose fail-safe or fail-secure depends on your specific needs and usage scenarios:
Safety of Electric Strike Locks
Mechanical Robustness: Electric strike locks are often made of durable materials such as metal alloys, which can withstand a certain amount of physical force. The latch and striker plate are designed to provide a reliable locking mechanism, preventing unauthorized access even under normal circumstances.
Electrical Safety: Electric strike locks are designed with electrical safety in mind. They typically operate at low voltages, such as 12V or 24V, reducing the risk of electrocution. The electrical components are also insulated and protected to prevent short circuits and other electrical hazards.
Compatibility with Access Control Systems: Electric strike locks can be integrated with various access control systems, such as card readers, keypads, and biometric scanners. This allows for more advanced security features, such as user authentication and access logging, enhancing the overall safety of the premises.
Fail-Safe vs. Fail-Secure
Fail-Safe:
Power Outage Behavior: In a fail-safe configuration, the lock will unlock when power is lost. This is useful in applications where immediate egress is required during a power outage, such as in emergency exits or in facilities where people need to be able to exit quickly at all times.
Suitable Scenarios: It is often preferred in commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, and other public places where the safety of occupants is of utmost importance and quick evacuation is necessary. For example, in a hospital, if the power goes out, patients and staff need to be able to exit the building without delay.
Fail-Secure:
Power Outage Behavior: In a fail-secure configuration, the lock remains locked when power is lost. This provides maximum security during a power outage, as it prevents unauthorized entry even when the power supply is interrupted.
Suitable Scenarios: It is commonly used in high-security facilities such as banks, government buildings, and data centers where the protection of assets and information is critical. For instance, in a bank vault, it is essential that the lock remains locked even if there is a power failure to prevent unauthorized access to valuables.
