Electric Strike & Maglock Installation in Tempe

Electric strike and maglock installation are two distinct access control solutions that serve different security needs for Tempe properties. An electric strike replaces the standard strike plate on a door frame, allowing a door to be opened electronically while maintaining the ability to lock and unlock via a key or credential reader. This works well for high-traffic entries where you want to control access without changing the lock mechanism itself. A maglock, or electromagnetic lock, uses a powerful electromagnet mounted on the door frame and a metal armature on the door. When energized, it holds the door securely closed, and it releases when power is cut—often tied to a fire alarm system for emergency egress. For Tempe businesses and residences, choosing between them depends on door type, security level, and compliance needs. Electric strikes are typically used with mechanical locks on existing doors, while maglocks are ideal for outward-swinging doors or high-security areas where fail-safe release is critical.

The installation process begins with assessing the door and frame material—wood, metal, or glass—and the existing wiring. For an electric strike, we mount the unit into the frame, connect it to your access control system, and ensure alignment with the latch for smooth operation. For a maglock, we install the electromagnet on the header and the armature plate on the door, then wire it to a power supply and controller. Both require careful routing of low-voltage wiring to avoid interference with door function and to meet Tempe fire codes, especially for egress. Why this matters locally: Tempe properties near busy corridors like 50th Street and Washington face higher foot traffic and potential security risks. An electric strike allows you to grant access for deliveries or staff without a key, while a maglock ensures doors stay shut against unauthorized entry. For commercial spaces in districts like Camelback East or residential complexes in Ahwatukee Foothills, these installations provide reliable, code-compliant access control that adapts to your daily operations.
