These CDVI electric strikes offer a versatile and reliable solution. They are suitable for both rim and mortice lock setups and feature an adjustable jaw. Each unit is manufactured from powder-coated steel, tested to over 300,000 operations, and includes a built-in MOV (metal oxide varistor) to protect your access control system from electrical surges.
Two models are available with either fail safe or fail secure function to suit different security and safety requirements. Both models are supplied as complete kits, including the strike body, mortice faceplate, and surface case for rim applications.
If your system runs on 24V DC, a 24V fail safe electric strike from the same CDVI range is also available.

Electric Strike With an Adjustable Jaw for Accurate Alignment
The GAE 12V electric strike features an adjustable jaw to help provide a precise fit between the latch and strike. This helps prevent issues like sticking or failed releases caused by misalignment or side pressure, which are common in high traffic areas or older door frames.
Fine-tuning the jaw during installation improves reliability, reduces door bounce, and allows for consistent locking and unlocking. Whether using the fail safe or fail secure model, this feature supports a smoother setup and long-term performance, even in demanding environments.
Choose a Fail Safe or Fail Secure Electric Door Strike
When selecting an electric strike, the choice between fail safe and fail secure operation is critical. It impacts how your door behaves during a power outage.
- Fail Safe: The strike remains locked while powered and automatically unlocks if power is lost. This option prioritises safe egress. To maintain security during unexpected power cuts, consider adding a battery backup to your system. This will keep the door locked temporarily, giving time to restore power or respond to the issue.
- Fail Secure: The strike is locked when unpowered and only releases when current is applied. Ideal for secure areas where the door must be securely locked during power failure.
You should always weigh the balance between free egress and security when choosing between fail safe and fail secure operation for your electric locking device.
