Detex DS-24 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex DS-24 electric strike work with my rim exit device?
The DS-24 is built specifically for rim exit devices, and Detex calls out Advantex and Value Series rim devices by name. The kit ships with 1/4 inch and 1/8 inch spacers so the strike lines up with those rim latch bolts. It is not a strike for mortise or vertical rod devices - those latch at the edge or at head and sill, not into a rim strike.
2) Can the Detex DS-24 be set up fail-safe instead of fail-secure?
Both, and you set it in the field. The DS-24 is field-reversible between fail-secure and fail-safe, so no separate part number and no swapping hardware. Fail-secure keeps the strike locked when power drops (the usual choice on an egress opening where the exit device still lets people out); fail-safe releases on power loss, which is what you use when the access control scheme or the fire alarm interface calls for release.
3) What voltage does the Detex DS-24 electric strike need?
Anything from 11 to 28V DC. The built-in electronics sort it out automatically, so you don't specify 12V or 24V when ordering, and there is no coil to swap. Surge and kickback protection is on board, which matters when the strike shares a supply with other DC devices. Confirm your power supply's current capacity before you wire it in.
4) What does the latch bolt sensor on the DS-24 actually do for my access control system?
It gives the system a real door-secured signal rather than just a door position contact. The concealed sensor reads radiant infrared reflections off the pullman latch to confirm the latch is actually thrown into the strike, and Detex states it needs no adjustment. For an integrator, that is the difference between knowing the door is closed and knowing it is latched - useful for forced/propped alarms and for tying a rim exit device into a monitored system.
5) Do I have to cut the frame to install a Detex DS-24, or can it surface mount?
It mounts to the surface of most frames and accommodates a range of frame types and existing cutouts, so a full frame prep is often not required. Anchoring is a 6-pin system, and the wiring is plug-in modular, which cuts install time and makes later service a matter of unplugging rather than re-terminating.
6) What do I need to order alongside the Detex DS-24 to finish the job?
The strike itself ships with the 1/4 inch and 1/8 inch alignment spacers and its modular wiring harness. What it does not include is the power: you supply an 11-28V DC source with enough current, plus whatever release device or access control relay drives it. The rim exit device stays as is - the DS-24 replaces the strike, not the device. Detex publishes installation instructions for the DS-24 with the wiring diagrams.
7) What finish does the Detex DS-24 come in, and will it match my other door hardware?
One finish only: 630, brushed stainless steel. That is the standard commercial satin stainless spec, so it reads consistently alongside 630 exit devices, pulls and push plates. If your building is standardized on a brass or bronze finish, the strike face will not match - though on most frames it sits in the jamb where the contrast is minimal.
