Elektra R5 Symmetrical Electric Strike with Memory Lock, 16.5mm Narrow Profile

The Elektra R5 Symmetrical Electric Strike is a high-quality access control component featuring a narrow 16.5mm profile, making it an ideal choice for installations where space is limited. This device is engineered for seamless integration into various door systems, providing a reliable method for electronic locking and unlocking. The inclusion of a memory lock function ensures that the strike remains in an unlocked state following a single electrical impulse, allowing the door to be opened and closed without the need for continuous power supply during the entry process.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the Elektra R5 is its symmetrical design, which simplifies the installation process by allowing it to be mounted on both left and right-handed doors. Its narrow profile ensures compatibility with slim door frames where standard strikes might not fit. The integrated memory function significantly enhances user convenience by eliminating the need to hold the release button or maintain electrical contact while the door is being opened. Constructed from durable materials, this electric strike is built to withstand frequent use in both residential and commercial environments, ensuring long-term operational stability.

Suitable for

• Residential apartment building entrance doors
• Office doors requiring remote access control
• Narrow aluminum or steel door profiles
• Intercom systems for gated entries

This electric strike may not be suitable for heavy-duty industrial security doors that require high-grade fire resistance or extreme impact protection. It is also not intended for use in environments where the door must remain locked immediately after the electrical impulse ceases, as the memory function keeps the strike open until the door is physically cycled.

Key specifications

• Width: 16.5mm
• Design: Symmetrical
• Function: Memory lock
• Compatibility: Standard electric access control systems

To use the Elektra R5, it must be installed into the door frame strike plate area and connected to an access control power supply or intercom system. Once installed, a momentary electrical signal triggers the internal mechanism, which then holds the strike in the open position. The mechanism resets automatically only after the door has been opened and subsequently closed, ensuring the door is secured again.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the dimensions of your existing door frame cutout
• Ensure your power supply matches the voltage requirements of the strike
• Check if your door configuration requires a symmetrical or asymmetrical strike
• Confirm if the memory function aligns with your security requirements

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and longevity, ensure the electric strike is aligned correctly with the door latch to prevent mechanical binding. Regular inspection of the electrical connections is recommended to maintain consistent operation.
