The security of your carriage entrance, private apartment building, home or business premises is an absolute priority. Among the many security devices available, the reversible surface-mounted strike stands out for its versatility and numerous advantages. In this article, we'll explore why you should consider installing a reversible surface-mounted strike, and how it works with your existing horizontal or vertical cane-bill surface-mounted lock to optimize your security system.
What is a reversible strike?
A reversible strike is a locking device managed by an access control system to secure a swinging door that opens from the outside by pushing, and from the inside by pulling. Its reversibility makes it universal: Din right/Din left. Unlike a traditional surface-mounted strike, it offers greater flexibility of use and adapts to all types of horizontal or vertical surface-mounted locks on the market, and to all types of door.
The advantages of a reversible strike
- Enhanced security:
- Protection against intrusion: Reversible strikes are more difficult to break into, thanks to their robust mechanism.
- Access control: They can be used to restrict access to certain areas according to administrator criteria and requirements.
- Flexibility of use:
- Adaptation to different door types: Reversible strike plates are compatible with most doors, whether wood, metal or PVC.
- Easy installation:
- Simple replacement: A reversible surface-mounted strike easily replaces an existing standard surface-mounted strike.
- Compatible with different systems: It integrates perfectly with all access control systems, whether simple or complex.
The different types of reversible strike
There are different types of reversible strike, each with its own characteristics:
- 90 mm high horizontal reversible strike:
Standard 12V AC/DC output
Memory release 12V AC/DC

When should you choose a reversible strike?
The reversible strike is particularly recommended in the following situations:

- For carriage entrance doors: Very common because of their strength and reliability.
- For people with reduced mobility: Simplifies access to different areas.
The reversible strike is a high-performance universal locking device that offers numerous advantages in terms of security and convenience. And why stock one right and one left when you can stock just one reversible model?
