LOREX LR-ES12SC Electric Strike 12V
LOREX LR-ES12SC electric strike has been designed to suit PVC, aluminium, steel and timber door latches. It allows reliable strike-release operation especially on plastic and lightweight door structures commonly used in access control installations.
These strikes are available as fail-secure (fail-locked) versions and can operate with 12V AC or DC supply voltage. The handed construction allows installation on both left-hand and right-hand doors.
The LR-ES12SC electric strike mechanism normally operates electrically. However, in case of a power failure the strike position can be adjusted so that the door may still be unlocked manually using a key.
With its strong mechanical structure and 250kg holding force, the LR-ES12SC is suitable for medium and large doors used in commercial buildings, offices, industrial facilities and residential access control systems.

What does LOREX LR-ES12SC Electric Strike do?
The LOREX LR-ES12SC electric strike is an electronic door security device used in access control and entry systems. Its main function is to control door access by electronically releasing a door latch or lock mechanism when a valid signal is received.
The strike is typically installed in the door frame and connected to a 12V AC or DC power supply. When the strike receives an activation signal, the internal solenoid mechanism retracts or pivots the strike plate allowing the latch to move freely and the door to be opened.
Activation signals may come from different control devices such as:
- Keypad access controllers
- RFID card readers
- Intercom or door entry systems
- Access control panels
Once the door is closed again, the strike automatically returns to its locked state ensuring the door remains secured until the next authorized activation signal is received.
Electric strikes such as the LR-ES12SC are widely used in commercial buildings, offices, apartments, industrial facilities and security controlled areas where convenient and controlled door access is required.
Integrated Protection Diode
The LOREX LR-ES12SC electric strike is supplied with an integrated protection diode. This diode acts as a suppression device to protect the strike’s internal electrical components from voltage spikes and reverse voltage conditions.
During strike activation, electrical coils may generate short voltage surges. The diode absorbs and redirects these transient voltages, protecting both the electric strike and the connected access control electronics from potential damage.
This additional protection improves the long-term reliability of the electric strike and ensures stable operation in access control installations.
