Door Entry System - Aluminium Door

It doesn't look like the electronic striker is included in the kit, although it's not very clear. Normally, different strikers are used with aluminimum frames, as the fixings are quite different.

Ah yes:

Have a look at locksonline.co.uk

They have a much wider range of electric strikes and complete access control systems.

There are some strikes suitable for aluminium frames such as the Trimec ES110.

Hi John You dont say what type of locking the door has or if it opens outwards or inwards. If it is multi-point locking then no striker release is made and you will have to resort to a door magnet as used in most offices. If however it is a single mortice you will need to look and see if it has a spring loaded latch or uses a slide action to lock the door.

If spring action you can obtain a mortice lock release unit. When you check try

Thanks - it is an inward opening door. The latch is a spring operated thing with a roller on the end. I am not sure if this also locks the door - or if there is a separate bolt.

Hi John Easy way to tell is can you push the door open (when not locked with the key) or do you have to depress the handle? If you press the handle a basic mortice release may do the job if it will fit the door. Either way a release is available but depending on the door thickness and build may cost anything from being part of the kit to an extra £150 or so.

You have to press the handle.

Thanks for the info
