Electric strikes that work with the locks you already have
An electric strike releases the latch when someone presents a valid credential. We cut, wire, and align strikes for reliable day-to-day use on commercial and multi-unit doors across the GTA.
Electric strikes let you keep a familiar mechanical lock on the door while controlling the latch from a card reader, keypad, or intercom release. For many Whitby offices and GTA multi-unit corridors, that is cleaner than converting every leaf to a mag lock — especially where a keyed mechanical override still matters.
Installation quality is everything. A poorly cut strike or misaligned frame causes sticky doors and angry tenants. Ultimate Security measures the existing lock, prepares the jamb correctly, and verifies that the latch seats fully when the door closes under normal use.
We wire strikes into your access control panel with the correct voltage and mode, then commission schedules and credentials. The result is a door that still feels like a normal door — until an unauthorized person tries to walk through.

Questions about electric strikes
Fail-safe vs fail-secure — which strike do I need?
Fail-secure stays locked on power loss (common for security doors with free mechanical egress). Fail-safe unlocks on power loss. We recommend based on the door’s use and applicable code requirements.
Can you add a strike to our existing office door?
In most cases yes, if the frame and lockset are compatible. We confirm on site before cutting the jamb.
Will the mechanical key still work?
Typically yes — the mechanical lockset remains, so authorized keyed entry still works alongside electronic unlock.
Do strikes work with video intercoms?
Yes. Intercom door release is a common pairing: a resident or receptionist unlocks the strike from the handset or app.
