Detex DTX-DS24W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What makes the Detex DS-24W different from standard electric strikes?
The DS-24W features weatherized construction for outdoor applications. It includes sealed components and enhanced protection against moisture, dust, and temperature extremes compared to interior-only strikes.
2) Is this strike compatible with cylindrical locksets?
Yes, the DS-24W works with standard cylindrical locksets and panic hardware. Verify your door prep matches the strike dimensions and that latch projection aligns properly with the strike opening.
3) What handing considerations apply to this electric strike?
Most Detex strikes are reversible for left or right hand doors. Check the installation template for proper orientation and ensure the keeper aligns with your lockset's latch bolt path.
4) What finish options are available for the DS-24W?
Detex typically offers strikes in satin stainless steel, dark bronze, and other architectural finishes. Verify available finishes when ordering to match your door hardware suite.
5) What power requirements does this strike need?
Most Detex electric strikes operate on 12VDC or 24VDC low voltage. Check the specific voltage rating and current draw to properly size your access control power supply and wiring.
6) Does this strike meet fire code requirements for egress doors?
Detex strikes are designed for code compliance when properly installed. Verify local fire marshal requirements for fail-safe operation and emergency egress in your specific application.
7) What accessories are needed for installation?
Installation typically requires the strike body, mounting screws, wire nuts, and weatherproof conduit connections. Some applications may need door reinforcement plates or frame modifications.
8) How do I prep the door frame for this weatherized strike?
Use the manufacturer's template for precise mortising. Ensure proper depth, clean edges, and adequate clearance. Seal all wire entry points to maintain weatherization integrity.
9) What maintenance does the DS-24W require?
Periodically check wire connections for corrosion and test operation. Clean debris from the keeper mechanism. Inspect weatherproof seals annually and replace if cracked or damaged.
10) Are there similar models for different door types?
Detex offers various electric strikes for hollow metal, wood, and aluminum frames. Browse our Detex collection for alternative models suited to your specific door configuration.
11) What field conditions can this weatherized strike handle?
The weatherized design resists rain, snow, humidity, and temperature fluctuations. However, verify the specific IP rating and operating temperature range for extreme climate applications.
12) What are the key measurements for frame compatibility?
Check frame depth, mortise dimensions, and centerline height from floor to latch. Verify adequate clearance for wire routing and that existing prep matches the strike's mounting pattern.
