Strike Parts and Accessories
Frequently Asked Questions
What are strike accessories?
Strike accessories include mounting brackets, extra faceplates, spacer kits, shims, and monitoring sensors, all designed to enhance or adapt strike installations. At National Lock Supply, we supply full accessory lines for OEM compatibility.
Why are accessories needed?
They allow strikes to be adapted to different frames (wood, hollow metal, aluminum) and latch types, making them vital for both new installs and retrofits.
Are accessories universal?
No. Accessories must match the strike brand and model to ensure proper operation and compliance with certifications.
What finishes are available?
Most accessories are made in Stainless Steel or Dark Bronze, matching commercial hardware aesthetics.
Do accessories affect UL listings?
Yes. Using non-certified parts can void the UL listing of an electric strike. OEM accessories ensure that listings remain valid.
Are monitoring options available?
Yes. Many strikes support latchbolt or door position sensors, providing outputs to connect with alarms and access control systems.
Where are accessories used?
On hollow metal doors, aluminum storefronts, and wood frames, across commercial, institutional, and residential buildings.
Can accessories be retrofitted?
Yes. Replacement brackets, plates, and sensor kits can upgrade or adapt existing strikes without replacing the main body.
Are they ADA compliant?
Yes, when installed with lever trims and panic hardware that meet accessibility standards.
