Door strikes for side load applications

Thee effeff 331 and effeff 131are high performance electric strikes from Abloy Security are extremely reliable where a door is likely to be subject to side loads when being opened.

Escape route doors, interlock system doors and doors with an air seal all have to be able to be opened when subject to side loads, which can be created either by the environment they are located in or by the individuals trying to escape through them.

An ideal solution are the effeff 331 and effeff 131 high performance electric strikes from Abloy Security, because of their extreme reliability where a door is likely to be subject to side loads when it is being opened.

The fail-unlocked effeff 331 strike has been designed especially for doors on escape routes, while the fail-locked 131 strike was developed for doors and barriers in interlock systems, where maintaining security is the overriding concern.

In normal operating conditions, wooden or metal doors fitted with either the 331 or 131 will open easily, with a simple push or pull, making the strikes suitable for applications where the elderly, disabled or very young will be operating the doors.

These single action electric strikes are extremely reliable and manufactured from tough, precision cast steel so that they can withstand harsh environmental conditions, frequent use and vandalism.

The break-in resistance for the standard versions of these products is 15,000N for the 131 and 7,500N for the 331.

Extremely high unlocking reliability under pre-loads of up to 5,000N - which is far in excess of the 1,000N stipulated in the prEN13637 European Building Hardware standard - makes the effeff 331 security strike also suitable for use on non-escape route doors where there are high levels of side pressure on the keep.
