Frequently Asked Questions
What is Folger Adam?
Folger Adam is a heritage detention and electric strike brand. It is best known for heavy-duty and detention electric strikes.
What products does Folger Adam make?
Folger Adam's product range includes heavy-duty and detention-grade electric strikes.
Are Folger Adam products fail-safe or fail-secure?
Folger Adam electrified hardware is offered in both modes. Fail-safe unlocks when power is lost, which suits openings that need free egress or fire release; fail-secure stays locked on power loss, which suits perimeter security. The right choice depends on the opening's egress and security needs and the local fire code.
Where is Folger Adam hardware typically used?
Folger Adam hardware is specified for detention, correctional, and high-abuse openings.
Is Folger Adam hardware commercial grade and code compliant?
Yes. Folger Adam manufactures to commercial standards and tests its products to the applicable ANSI/BHMA A156.31 for electric strikes and A156.23 for electromagnetic locks. For most commercial and institutional openings, specify Grade 1 where the product line offers it, and confirm any fire-rating or ADA listings the opening requires.
Will Folger Adam hardware work with my existing access control system?
Yes. Folger Adam devices run on standard low-voltage power (typically 12 or 24 VDC) and integrate with most access control panels, readers, and credentials. Match the voltage, current draw, and fail-safe or fail-secure mode to your system and power supply when specifying.
