Detex DTXDS-24W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex DS-24W electric strike hold up on an exterior gate, or do I need an indoor strike in a weather box?
The DS-24W is built weatherized for outdoor gates and exterior doors, so it doesn't need to be sheltered the way a standard indoor strike does. It ships with a steel gate box that can be welded or painted in place plus an aluminum GBKT angle bracket, so it can be mounted into gate framing rather than a prepped door frame. It's UL1034 listed for indoor and outdoor burglary resistance.
2) What kind of exit device does the Detex DS-24W strike work with?
Rim panic devices. The DS-24W is made to catch the pullman latch of a rim exit device, so it won't work with a mortise exit device or a vertical rod device that latches at the head and threshold. If the gate leaf carries a rim panic, this is the matching strike.
3) Is the Detex DS-24W 12V or 24V?
It comes factory set for 24VDC and can be converted to 12VDC in the field. Current draw is 0.15 Amp at 24VDC and 0.28 Amp at 12VDC, which is what you size the power supply and the wire run to. On a long gate run, the 24V setting is the easier one to live with.
4) Can the DS-24W be set fail-safe so the gate releases if power drops?
Yes, it's field reversible between fail-secure and fail-safe. Fail-secure keeps the gate locked when power is lost and the exit device still lets people out from the inside; fail-safe unlocks on power loss, which is what some egress and emergency-access schemes call for. You set it on site, so you aren't ordering a specific version.
5) Do I have to order the Detex DS-24W handed for a left or right gate?
The strike is handed but reversible, so one part covers either hand. You set the hand during install rather than specifying it on the order.
6) How much force will the DS-24W strike take on a pried gate?
It's tested to more than 2,000 pounds of holding force and to over 1,000,000 life cycles, which is the pairing that matters on a perimeter gate: the static number covers an attack on the latch, the cycle number covers a parking or delivery gate that gets hit hundreds of times a day.
7) Does the Detex DS-24W come with a gate box, or is that a separate order?
Both the steel gate box and the aluminum GBKT angle bracket are included. The box is bare steel so it can be welded into the gate frame or painted to match. What you supply is the power, the outdoor-rated wiring and weatherproof connections, and the release device or access control that switches it.
8) Is the DS-24W UL listed, and for what?
UL1034, for indoor and outdoor burglary resistance. That's the burglary-resistance listing, and it's the one an MRO or municipal spec on a perimeter opening usually calls for on an electric strike.
9) Do I order a separate model number for the 12 volt version of the Detex DS-24W?
No. There is one orderable model, DTXDS-24W, and the voltage is a field setting rather than a variant. Order the same part whether the site runs 12VDC or 24VDC.
