Fail-secure Recess-mounted Electric Strike UBIQUITI UACC-Lock-Strike-Secure-8mm 12 V Stainless Steel/Zinc

The UBIQUITI UACC-Lock-Strike-Secure-8mm is a fail-secure recessed electric strike engineered for access control installations that require maintained mechanical security in the event of a power loss. Constructed from stainless steel and zinc, this 12 V strike provides an 8 mm latch opening and is intended for mounting into door frames where a recess-mounted solution is preferred. The unit is designed to work with electronic access systems and door controllers to control latch release while keeping the door mechanically locked when power is removed.

Advantages

This fail-secure electric strike offers robust materials—stainless steel and zinc—that provide corrosion resistance and mechanical durability for commercial and residential entrances. Its recess-mounted design creates a flush finish in the door frame and simplifies retrofit into existing setups that support an 8 mm latch. Operating at 12 V, the strike integrates with common access control power supplies and controllers, while the fail-secure mode ensures that the latch remains locked when power is interrupted, supporting security-focused installations.

Suitable for

• Secure entry doors in commercial buildings where maintained locking on power loss is required
• Retrofit projects in frames compatible with an 8 mm latch opening and recess mounting
• Integration with electronic access control systems and door controllers operating on 12 V
• Locations requiring corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel and zinc

When it may not be suitable

This fail-secure strike is not appropriate where fail-safe behavior is required (doors that must unlock during power failures for emergency egress). It may also be unsuitable for doors or frames that cannot accept a recessed installation or that use latch dimensions other than an 8 mm slot depth.

Key specifications

• Operating voltage: 12 V DC
• Locking mode: Fail-secure (remains locked when unpowered)
• Latch opening depth: 8 mm
• Construction materials: Stainless steel and zinc
• Mounting type: Recess-mounted for door frames

How to use

Install the electric strike into a compatible recessed cavity in the door frame so that the latch aligns with the 8 mm slot. Connect the strike to a 12 V power source and to the access control system or door controller following the controller manufacturer's wiring guidelines. Test the mechanical alignment and electrical release function: when powered, the strike should allow latch release as commanded by the access controller; when unpowered, the strike should keep the latch mechanically secured. Use appropriate fasteners and ensure the frame material can support recess installation and mechanical loads.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your door frame supports recess mounting and can accommodate an 8 mm latch opening
• Verify the access control system and power supply provide 12 V DC compatible with the strike
• Assess whether fail-secure behavior meets local building and fire-code requirements for egress
• Ensure material finish and corrosion resistance are suitable for the installation environment

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, verify precise mechanical alignment during installation, use a regulated 12 V DC supply sized to the access control system, and test both powered release and power-failure locking behavior. Coordinate installation with local safety codes to ensure fail-secure operation complies with emergency egress requirements.
