BDS Electric Strike DOR100N Mortice Type - Stainless Steel
The BDS DOR100N is a mortice type electric strike designed for flush mounting into door frames. Operating in a fail secure configuration, it unlocks momentarily when powered and remains locked on power loss, making it suitable for controlled access applications requiring enhanced security.
Key Features
- Mortice type electric strike with flush mount installation.
- Fail secure operation - remains locked on power loss.
- Momentary coil activation.
- 12 Vdc operation.
- Durable stainless steel face plate.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does fail secure mean for this electric strike?
Fail secure means the strike remains in the locked position when electrical power is removed. The door can only be released when power is actively applied. This makes it the preferred choice for doors that must stay secured during a power outage, such as server rooms, plant rooms, and secure storage areas. - Is this strike surface mounted or flush mounted?
The DOR100N is a mortice type strike and installs flush into a prepared mortice in the door frame. It is not surface mounted. For a rim-mounted option, refer to the BDS N201SC (item code 05221490). - Can this be used with access control systems?
Yes. The DOR100N is commonly paired with access control panels, card readers, keypads, and push button exit releases. Confirm the power supply output can sustain the 350mA current draw at 12Vdc, accounting for all other devices on the circuit. - What power supply is required?
The strike operates at 12 volts direct current (12Vdc) with a current draw of 350mA. A regulated 12Vdc power supply with sufficient capacity for all connected devices is required. Consult the datasheet for wiring and supply recommendations. - Is a suppression diode required when wiring this strike?
A flyback suppression diode is recommended for solenoid-based devices like this strike to protect the access control system from voltage spikes when the coil is de-energised. Consult your access control system documentation for specific protection requirements.
Additional Information
- Correct mortice preparation in the door frame is critical for smooth latch engagement and reliable strike operation.
- Always confirm the voltage and current capacity of the power supply before installation, accounting for the full current draw of all devices on the supply circuit.
- Fail secure strikes are typically specified where security on power loss is required. Where doors must release on power failure (for egress compliance), a fail safe strike should be specified instead.
