UHPPOTE Electric Strike Lock 12VDC for Access Control Fire Exit Door Rim Exit Devices for Push Bar

Most affordable panic strike I ever used and its working great so far. Not a true flush mount, but most strikes aren't. After some machining of the door frame, it dropped in beautifully and has been working great. Can easily be changed from NO to NC as pictures show.Jason

This electric strike mechanism works VERY well !!! I installed two on a new storage building at my business and find it to be practically flawless. Solid construction and simple installation. The only difficulty was that the size of the mechanism is a little large for the one inch width of the raised portion of the door frame. I had to cut a matching slot into the frame but this only took minutes with a portable sawzall. I'm extremely pleased with this purchase!! Don't forget to buy a 12V door access power supply (made to trigger the latch for a programmable number of seconds). I used a generic K80 door access system power supply for around $12. Nice !!!

Pin quality is not very good

It failed after 9 months with a fairly lightly used door (half a dozen actuations/day)I tore it apart: The plunger is press-fit into the solenoid. Over the last nine months, the press-fit loosened enough that the plunger fell out of the solenoid shaft and dropped down inside the latch, causing a fail-open condition.I was able to re-press it with a pair of ChannelLocks - not sure if we'll trust it for tonight or not.Of course - I'm part of the problem: I just ordered two more to replace it. After having cut the door frame so ferociously to custom fit the latch, the frame repair to opt for another brand or style would be a LOT more expensive and more work than just buying two more and hoping for nine more months from each. Not sure I'll ever fully trust them again though!Second failing after 7months. If you haven't already cut your door frame, run away from this!** Update: downgraded to 1 star. On my _7th_ replacement in < 3yrs.

You get what you pay for. Comparable products are about $300, and this product definitely shows why. Construction isn’t very rugged, had lots of problems with it in the first month that required constant tweaking assembley/disassembly. It works, but don’t expect much

price of this is hard to beat.. have this at a couple of schools and it works great.

Works well and very quite release. Good price and quality.

We just finished installing the lock, tested it out, and discovered it was working inconsistently and wouldn't open sometimes. Come to find out the deadlatch on the door put a slight amount of pressure on the mechanism, and it causes it to jam. "No problem", I thought, "I'll just take off the deadlatch or grind it down so it won't put pressure on it". Well, the bigger problem is that if someone ties to open it while unlocking it, it will get stuck then too. And to get it unstuck it's not just a matter of letting the pressure off or trying again, it gets STUCK. You have to shake it back and forth and really rattle the mechanism to unstick it, and that is just unreasonable for a newly installed device. If it was just a preload issue I could fix it, but getting stuck so badly like that is a sign that these things are too cheaply made.
