Alarm Controls AES-200 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Alarm Controls AES-200 electric strike work with my cylindrical lockset latch?
The AES-200 is built for cylindrical locksets with a 5/8 inch or 3/4 inch latchbolt throw. Strike depth is 1-1/2 inches. If the door has a mortise lock with a deadbolt, or an exit device with a Pullman latch, this is the wrong strike body.
2) Is the AES-200 electric strike handed, and does the faceplate fit an ANSI jamb prep?
Non-handed, so one part covers left and right hand openings. The mounting kit ships with two 4-7/8 inch stainless steel faceplates, one round corner and one square corner, so it drops into either style of existing jamb cutout.
3) Do I have to order the AES-200 as fail safe or fail secure?
Fail safe versus fail secure is selectable in the field on the AES-200, so the same strike covers either mode. There is an order option to pick a mode, but the changeover is made at install. Fail secure keeps the door locked when power drops (typical for exterior and general security openings); fail safe releases on power loss, which is what an egress or stairwell opening usually calls for.
4) What voltage and current does the AES-200 strike need from my access control power supply?
Dual voltage 12/24 VAC or VDC, rated continuous duty on DC. Current draw is 130mA at 12 VAC, 70mA at 24 VAC, and 210mA at 24 VDC. Size the supply off the figure for the voltage you are actually running, and note the 24 VDC number is the highest of the three.
5) I have a lockset with only a 1/2 inch latch - can I use the AES-200?
No. The AES-200 keeper is set up for 5/8 inch and 3/4 inch cylindrical latchbolts. For a 1/2 inch latchbolt, the SDC 25 Series is built around that throw. The HES Folger Adam 310-1(X) strike body covers 1/2, 5/8, and 3/4 inch throws if you want one part to handle a mixed building.
6) What is a fire-rated alternative to the Alarm Controls AES-200 for a cylindrical lockset on a rated opening?
The AES-200 is a Grade 2 medium duty electric strike for 5/8 inch and 3/4 inch throw cylindrical locksets, field selectable fail secure or fail safe. For a rated opening, the Adams Rite 7240 is a fire-rated electric strike for cylindrical locksets with 5/8 inch latchbolt projection, and the Hager 2930 is a fire rated Grade 1 electric strike for cylindrical and mortise locks with 12/24VDC dual voltage. The Von Duprin 4211 32D is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated strike for cylindrical locks with 12/24 VDC field-selectable operation.
7) If I need a Grade 1 heavy duty strike rather than the Grade 2 AES-200, what are the options?
The AES-200 is rated BHMA Grade 2 and classed medium duty. Stepping up, the Von Duprin 6400 32D is a Grade 1 heavy duty modular strike for mortise or cylindrical locks in satin stainless with a 3-hour UL 10C fire rating in fail-secure, and the Von Duprin 6210 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lock strike at 24 VDC fail-secure. The Locknetics MDS100 US32D and MS100 US32D are both heavy duty electric strikes. The Securitron MUNL is a Grade 1 fire rated mortise unlatch strike.
8) What should I use instead of the AES-200 on an aluminum storefront jamb?
The AES-200 has a 1-1/2 inch strike depth and ships with two 4-7/8 inch stainless faceplates, which suits hollow metal and wood jamb prep rather than narrow aluminum. For aluminum jambs, the Adams Rite 7100 Series uses a flat 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch faceplate, and the Adams Rite 7160 uses a 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch faceplate as well. The Adams Rite 7170 is the hollow metal and wood jamb version of that family.
9) Which electric strikes look like substitutes for the AES-200 but will not work with a cylindrical lockset?
The AES-200 is built for 5/8 inch and 3/4 inch throw cylindrical locksets. Several strikes in the same size class serve different latches: the SDC 30-4 Series is a rim mount strike for a 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolt, the Hager 2945 is a rim exit device strike, the HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 is a complete strike pac for surface vertical rods, and the Von Duprin 6210 is built for mortise locks. The SDC 25 Series is sized for 1/2 inch latchbolts.
10) Which other electric strikes offer latch bolt monitoring like the AES-200?
The AES-200 includes a latch bolt monitor with an SPDT dry contact. The Dortronics 3300 Series also has a latch bolt sensing switch, runs 12/24VDC, and uses a strike plate for ANSI prep at 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch. The Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with a latchbolt monitor, and the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 is a Grade 1 dual monitor fire rated strike supplied with eight faceplates.
11) Can I monitor door latch status back to my access control panel with the AES-200?
Yes. The AES-200 has a latch bolt monitor with an SPDT dry contact, so you can wire it to a panel input for latch position. It also has a built-in buzzer that sounds whenever voltage is applied to the strike, which gives the person at the door an audible release cue.
12) Is there a simpler electric strike than the AES-200 for a light commercial door that only needs fail secure?
The AES-200 carries a latch bolt monitor, a built-in buzzer, an SPDT dry contact and field selectable fail safe or fail secure operation. If none of that is needed, the Trine 001 Series is a fail-secure light commercial strike with a 5-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch faceplate, the SDC 15 Series is a value strike for 5/8 inch latchbolts at 12/24 VDC, and the RCI 15BS is an economy fail-secure strike for special offset latch entry.
13) What is an alternative to the AES-200 if I want to avoid cutting the existing frame?
The AES-200 has a 1-1/2 inch strike depth and ships with two 4-7/8 inch stainless faceplates, one round corner and one square corner, so it expects a standard prep. If the frame cannot be cut, the Locknetics NC450 US32D is a no cut electric strike, and the Camden CX-ED1689L-4 is a fire rated low profile universal strike supplied with four faceplates.
14) For standardizing a facility on one universal strike instead of the AES-200, what are the choices?
The AES-200 is non-handed and ships with both a round corner and a square corner 4-7/8 inch faceplate, which covers two common preps. If a single model needs to cover more prep variations across a building, the Camden CX-ED1410 and CX-ED1420 Series are Grade 1 ANSI fire-rated universal strikes, the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 ships with eight faceplates, and the Von Duprin 6400 32D is a Grade 1 modular strike that handles mortise or cylindrical locks.
15) What strike works for a double door application where the AES-200 does not?
The AES-200 is a single non-handed strike for cylindrical locksets with 5/8 inch and 3/4 inch throw. For a pair of doors, the Rockwood electric strike is built for double door use with a 3/4 inch keeper and is Grade 1 fire rated in the 310-1 Series.
16) What finish does the AES-200 strike come in, and will it match the rest of my hardware?
Satin stainless steel is the finish, with stainless steel faceplates in the mounting kit. That reads as the common 630/32D satin stainless look used across most commercial lever and exit hardware, so it blends on a standard institutional opening.
