Locknetics MS100 US32D Electric Strike

Both. The MS100 Series strike is built for heavy duty mortise locksets and cylindrical locksets, so the same strike covers a building running a mix of the two. That's useful for a property manager standardizing access control across openings that weren't all hung with the same lock type.

Field selectable. The installer picks fail-safe or fail-secure on the MS100 at the time of install, so one part number covers both a door that must release on power loss and a door that must stay locked when power drops. No need to decide the mode at the order stage.

12 or 24 VDC. That dual-voltage range means the MS100 drops onto most existing access control power supplies without adding a separate transformer, and it's DC only, so an AC-only supply won't drive it. It is not battery operated and needs a wired power source.

Yes, wood and metal frames are both covered. The MS100 is rated for metal and wood door types, so it isn't restricted to hollow metal openings the way some jamb-specific strikes are. For an aluminum jamb on a storefront, you'd want an aluminum-specific body instead, like the Adams Rite 7100 or 7160 Series.

The MS100 is a heavy duty electric strike for mortise or cylindrical locksets, 12/24 VDC, field selectable fail-safe or fail-secure, in 630 satin stainless steel. The closest peer is the Von Duprin 6400 32D, a Grade 1 modular electric strike for mortise or cylindrical locks in satin stainless steel, though the 6400 is fail-secure and carries a 3-hour UL 10C fire rating in that configuration. The Hager 2930 is another close match: a fire rated Grade 1 strike for cylindrical and mortise locks with 12/24 VDC dual voltage and field reversible fail safe/fail secure operation. If the field selectable function is what you need, the Hager 2930 matches the MS100 on that point most directly.

The Locknetics MS100 in 630 satin stainless is offered without latch bolt monitoring, so if your access control panel needs a door secure signal from the strike, look at a strike that includes the switch. The Dortronics 3300 Series has a latch bolt sensing switch, runs 12/24 VDC, and uses a strike plate for standard ANSI prep at 4-7/8 inches by 1-1/4 inches. The Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with field selectable fail safe/fail secure and a latchbolt monitor. For two monitored outputs, the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 is a Grade 1 fire rated dual monitor strike shipped with eight faceplates.

No. The MS100 is designed for heavy duty mortise locksets and cylindrical locksets, which is a different keeper geometry than an exit device latch. For a rim exit device, the SDC 30-4 Series is a rim mount strike for a 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolt in stainless steel, and the Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with field selectable fail safe/fail secure and a latchbolt monitor. For surface vertical rods, the HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 is a complete Grade 1 electric strike pac built for that application.

The MS100 is listed for metal and wood doors and is built for heavy duty mortise and cylindrical locksets, which is a hollow metal and wood jamb application rather than a narrow aluminum stile. For aluminum jambs, the Adams Rite 7100 Series and the Adams Rite 7160 are electric strikes made specifically for aluminum jambs with a 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch faceplate. Adams Rite also makes the 7170 with the same faceplate size for hollow metal and wood jambs if you have a mix of both openings on the job.

Peers that carry a stated Grade 1 rating include the Von Duprin 4211 32D for cylindrical locks at 12/24 VDC field-selectable, the Von Duprin 6210 for mortise locks at 24 VDC fail-secure, the Von Duprin 6400 32D modular strike for mortise or cylindrical locks, the Alarm Controls AES-100 heavy duty strike, the Securitron MUNL mortise UnLatch, the HES Folger Adam 310-1(X) strike body for 1/2, 5/8 or 3/4 inch throw latchbolts, and the Camden CX-ED1410/CX-ED1420 universal fire rated series. The Von Duprin 6400 32D is the closest in form to the Locknetics MS100, since it also covers both mortise and cylindrical locks in a 630 satin stainless finish.

The Locknetics MS100 is a 12/24 VDC strike, so it expects a DC output. If the existing supply is AC, the Trine 004 runs on 8-16VAC and is fire rated, fail secure, with a 6-1/4 inch by 1-3/8 inch faceplate and up to a 5/8 inch throw. The Trine 2001 accepts 16-24VAC or DC, is fire rated and fail secure, with a 5-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch faceplate and up to 5/8 inch throw. Both are fixed fail secure rather than field selectable.

Satin stainless steel, 630 (also called US32D). That's the standard commercial finish on most lever trim, exit devices and push plates, so it matches typical 630/26D hardware already on the doors. It's the only finish this strike comes in.

It's a heavy duty commercial strike, not a light residential unit, and it's intended to be paired with heavy duty mortise and cylindrical locksets. For a school, hospital or multi-family entry seeing constant cycling, that duty level is the reason to choose it over an economy body like the Trine 001 Series, which is light commercial.

The MS100 is a heavy duty commercial strike built for heavy duty mortise and cylindrical locksets. For lighter service the Trine 001 Series is a light commercial fail-secure 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 with 12/24 VDC operation, matching the MS100 on voltage, and the SDC 25 Series is the value equivalent for 1/2 inch latchbolts. The RCI 15BS is an economy fail-secure strike for special offset latch entry. Note that the Trine 001, SDC 15/25 and RCI 15BS are fail-secure or fixed function rather than field selectable like the MS100.

The Locknetics MS100 covers a useful range on its own, working with both heavy duty mortise and cylindrical locksets on metal and wood doors, with field selectable fail safe or fail secure and 12/24 VDC so it drops onto most panel outputs. Where prep varies opening to opening, a multi faceplate kit can reduce SKUs: the Camden CX-ED1689L-4 is a fire rated universal low profile strike supplied with four faceplates, and the CX-ED1799L-8 is a Grade 1 fire rated dual monitor strike supplied with eight. The Camden CX-ED1410/CX-ED1420 universal series is also Grade 1 and fire rated.

The MS100 is a strike for heavy duty mortise and cylindrical locksets and is not configured as a double door unit. For a pair, the Rockwood electric strike for double doors uses a 3/4 inch keeper, is Grade 1 and fire rated, and is built on the 310-1 Series platform.
