Electric strike SCOT ES1-002 for gates with steel latch, 12V AC/DC, memory

The SCOT ES1-002 electric strike is designed for gates that require a durable steel latch and a memory function for controlled access. Powered by 12V AC/DC, this unit provides an electromechanical release compatible with intercoms, keypads, remote controllers and other access control systems. Its construction focuses on reliable operation in pedestrian or vehicle gate frames where a robust metal tongue is needed to secure the gate while enabling remote or automated unlocking.

Advantages

The strike incorporates a steel latch that offers wear resistance and mechanical strength for frequent use. The built-in memory function maintains the strike position after an electrical pulse, allowing integration with systems that require latched or set-and-forget actions. Dual-voltage compatibility (12V AC/DC) simplifies installation with common gate power supplies. The compact design facilitates fitting into existing gate frames while providing the electrical actuation required for remote access control.

Suitable for

• Pedestrian and vehicle gate frames requiring an electric locking release
• Access control systems using intercoms, keypads or remote controllers
• Installations that need a durable metal latch for frequent operation
• Set-and-hold applications where a memory function is required

Key specifications

• Operating voltage: 12V AC/DC
• Latching element: steel latch (metal tongue) for mechanical security
• Function: electric strike with memory (latched position retention)
• Intended mounting: gate frames for pedestrian or vehicle access
• Control compatibility: designed for use with intercoms, keypads and remote controllers

How to use

Mount the strike into the gate frame where the latch engages the door or gate leaf, ensuring alignment between the strike tongue and the gate latch. Connect the device to a 12V AC or DC supply following the installation guidelines of the access control system and verify wiring to the intercom, keypad or remote control unit. Test the mechanical engagement and electrical actuation through multiple cycles to confirm correct operation of the latch and memory function. Adjust plate or frame positioning as needed to ensure smooth locking and unlocking.

Usage recommendations

Use a stable 12V AC/DC power source and appropriate wiring gauge to prevent voltage drop. For outdoor installations, ensure the strike is protected from direct weather exposure or fitted in a sheltered recess to extend service life. Regularly inspect the steel latch and mounting hardware for wear or debris and perform preventive maintenance to maintain reliable access control operation.
