Electric Strike & Maglock Installation in Nashville

Electric strikes and maglocks are two distinct access control solutions that serve different security needs in Nashville properties. An electric strike replaces the standard strike plate on a door frame, allowing a door to be opened remotely while still functioning with a mechanical lock. Installation involves wiring the strike to a power source and control system, often integrating with keypads, intercoms, or card readers. The process requires precise alignment with the existing latch and frame to ensure reliable operation. For Nashville businesses, this means controlled entry for employees or tenants without sacrificing daytime security. Maglocks, or electromagnetic locks, use a powerful electromagnet mounted on the door frame and an armature plate on the door. When energized, the magnet holds the door securely shut, releasing only when power is cut. Installation demands careful mounting to ensure full contact between the magnet and armature, plus wiring to a power supply and release mechanism. Maglocks are ideal for high-security areas like server rooms or back entrances, as they fail-safe—meaning doors unlock during a power outage for safe egress. Both systems require professional setup to avoid misalignment, voltage issues, or code violations, which can compromise security or lock people out. In Nashville, where historic buildings and modern complexes coexist, these installations must account for varying door materials and frame depths.

What to Expect

• A site visit to assess your door type, frame material, and existing wiring.
• Precise cutting or drilling for the electric strike cavity or maglock mounting plate.
• Running low-voltage wiring from the lock to a control panel or power source.
