Electric Strike & Maglock Installation in Nashville, TN

Electric Strike & Maglock Installation in Nashville

Electric strike and maglock installation is a specialized form of access control that secures doors without relying on a traditional mechanical lock. An electric strike replaces the standard strike plate on a door frame, working with a latch that releases when an electric current is applied—often triggered by a keypad, card reader, or intercom system. A maglock, or electromagnetic lock, uses a strong magnet mounted on the door frame and an armature plate on the door itself; when powered, the magnet holds the door securely shut until the current is cut. For Nashville properties—whether commercial offices, apartment complexes, or retail storefronts—these systems offer reliable, remote-controlled security that can be integrated with existing building management systems. The installation process involves running low-voltage wiring from the power source to the lock, mounting the strike or maglock precisely on the frame, and ensuring the door aligns correctly to prevent binding or gaps. We also test the release mechanism and adjust the strike or maglock to handle the door’s weight and frequency of use. This work matters in Nashville because it provides a seamless way to control entry for employees, tenants, or customers while maintaining fire safety compliance—electric strikes and maglocks often link to fire alarms to unlock automatically during emergencies. For high-traffic areas like office lobbies or gated entrances, a properly installed electric strike or maglock reduces wear on doors and eliminates the need for manual keying, which can be a security risk in multi-tenant buildings.

What to Expect

When you schedule an electric strike or maglock installation with us, here is what the process looks like:

• We begin with a site visit to assess your door type—wood, metal, or glass—and the existing frame condition.
• We determine the correct strike voltage (typically 12V or 24V) and whether you need a fail-safe or fail-secure configuration.
• We run concealed or surface-mounted wiring from the power supply to the lock location, keeping it tidy and compliant with local codes.
• We mount the electric strike or maglock, aligning it precisely with the door’s latch or armature plate.
• We test the release mechanism multiple times to ensure smooth operation and adjust tension or gap if needed.
• We provide a brief walkthrough on how to use the system and how to maintain it, including cleaning the magnet face on maglocks.

All work is done on-site, and we clean up after ourselves.
