Electric strike SCOT ES1-003 for gates, steel latch, with switch (lock), 12V AC/DC

SCOT ES1-003 is an electric strike designed for gates and pedestrian wickets where a robust mechanical latch and electrical release are required. The unit integrates a steel latch and a monitoring switch, and is powered by 12V AC/DC, making it compatible with common access control systems, intercoms and remote entry configurations. Its construction is intended for outdoor gate frames or posts where secure, controlled opening and status feedback are needed.

Advantages

The strike combines a durable steel latch with an integrated switch for door status monitoring or control feedback, enabling reliable operation within access control setups. Its 12V AC/DC compatibility allows flexible integration with typical intercoms, control panels and power supplies. The design supports installation on various gate types and provides electrical release without altering the mechanical latching function, maintaining secure closure when not energized.

Suitable for

• Pedestrian gates and wickets
• Residential and small commercial access control systems
• Intercom-based remote entry installations
• Situations requiring latch status monitoring or alarm integration

Key specifications

• Power supply: 12V AC/DC
• Latching element: steel latch for mechanical holding
• Integrated electrical switch for monitoring/control feedback
• Designed for gate and wicket installation (frame or post mounting)
• Electrical release function while preserving mechanical latch operation

How to use

Install the electric strike in the gate frame or post aligned with the gate latch so the steel latch engages securely when the gate is closed. Connect the 12V AC/DC power supply according to the system wiring diagram, and wire the integrated switch to the access control panel, intercom or monitoring circuit for status feedback. After electrical and mechanical alignment, test manual closing and remote release cycles to confirm smooth operation and correct switch signaling.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, mount the strike on a sturdy frame or post and ensure correct alignment with the gate latch. Use a stable 12V AC/DC supply sized appropriately for the system and protect electrical connections from moisture. Periodically inspect the steel latch and fasteners for wear or corrosion, and verify switch contacts and wiring as part of routine maintenance.
