Electric strike and buzzer entry system for commercial door in Colorado Springs

Electric Strikes

Remote Door Release Without Replacing Your Lock

An electric strike replaces the standard strike plate in your door frame. When activated, the strike pivots open so the door can be pushed in without a key or handle turn. Once the door closes, the latch re-engages automatically. This gives you pushbutton or remote-controlled entry while keeping the existing lockset in place.

Electric strikes are the most common way to add remote release to a standard commercial door. They work with cylindrical locks, mortise locks, and most exit devices, making them a cost-effective upgrade over full electronic lock replacement.

  • Fail-secure models stay locked during a power outage, ideal for server rooms and secure areas
  • Fail-safe models unlock during a power outage, required by fire codes on many egress doors
  • Compatible with most commercial lock hardware already installed
  • Can be triggered by buzzer panel, keypad, access control system, or desk button

Buzzer & Intercom Systems

Screen Visitors Before Granting Entry

A buzzer or intercom system lets staff communicate with visitors before unlocking the door. Audio intercoms allow two-way voice communication, while video intercoms add a camera so you can see who is at the entrance. Modern IP-based systems can even route calls to a smartphone, so you can buzz someone in from anywhere.

  • Audio intercom - visitor presses a call button, staff answers and buzzes in
  • Video intercom - camera shows the visitor on a screen or phone app before entry is granted
  • Multi-tenant panels - directory panels with individual unit call buttons for apartment buildings
  • Desk-mounted release buttons - simple pushbutton at reception to unlock entry doors
  • Wireless and IP systems - no new wiring needed, integrates with existing Wi-Fi and smartphones

What to Expect

How We Install Electric Strikes and Buzzer Systems

Every installation starts with understanding your entry points and how you want to control access.

1 Entry Point Assessment

We inspect the doors, frames, and existing hardware to determine the best electric strike model, wiring route, and control method for your building.

2 Hardware Installation and Wiring

The electric strike is mounted in the frame, the buzzer panel or intercom unit is installed at the entry point, and low-voltage wiring connects everything to the release control inside your building.

3 Testing and Walkthrough

We test every component: the strike release, the intercom call and response, fail-secure or fail-safe behavior, and door re-locking after entry. You get a full walkthrough of how to operate the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Electric Strike & Buzzer System Questions

What is an electric strike and how does it work?

An electric strike replaces the standard strike plate on a door frame. When triggered by a buzzer, intercom, keypad, or access control system, the strike releases and allows the door to be pushed open without turning the handle or using a key. When the door closes, it locks again automatically.

Can you install a buzzer system on an existing door?

Yes. In most cases we can retrofit an electric strike and buzzer system onto your existing commercial door and frame without replacing the door itself. We assess the door material, frame type, and lock hardware to determine the best strike model and wiring approach.

What is the difference between a fail-secure and fail-safe electric strike?

A fail-secure strike remains locked when power is lost, keeping the door secured during an outage. A fail-safe strike unlocks when power is lost, allowing free egress. The right choice depends on fire code requirements, building use, and your security priorities. We help you select the correct configuration for your application.

Do you install intercom systems with video?

Yes. We install audio-only intercoms as well as video intercom systems that let you see and speak with visitors before buzzing them in. Video intercoms are available as wired units or wireless IP-based systems that connect to a smartphone app.

How much does an electric strike or buzzer system cost to install?

Pricing depends on the number of doors, the type of electric strike, whether an intercom or buzzer panel is included, and the wiring required. Call us with details about your building and entry points, and we can provide a quote before scheduling the installation.
