For Orlando properties, the choice between them often depends on door type, traffic flow, and security needs. An electric strike replaces the standard strike plate on a door frame, allowing a door to be "buzzed open" from a remote location while still permitting manual key operation from the outside. The installation involves removing the existing strike plate, routing out the frame to accommodate the strike's body (which can be up to 1 inch deep in some models), wiring the strike to a power source and control system, and then testing the alignment with the latch. For maglocks, the process is different: a large electromagnet is mounted on the door header or frame, and an armature plate is attached to the door itself. The magnet must be precisely aligned with the plate to ensure a secure hold—typically 600 to 1,200 pounds of holding force—and the wiring must be hidden within the door frame or run through conduit. Both systems require careful attention to fire codes: maglocks, for instance, must be tied to a fire alarm system to automatically release during an emergency. Why this matters for Orlando properties: the area's humidity and frequent rain can cause wooden door frames to swell or warp, which directly affects the alignment of both electric strikes and maglocks. A strike that is even slightly off-center will fail to latch properly, and a maglock with a gap between the magnet and armature plate will lose holding strength. Additionally, many older buildings in neighborhoods like Audubon Park or the Colonialtown area have non-standard door frames that require custom mounting brackets or shimming. The installation process for electric strikes in these settings often involves cutting into metal frames with a grinder or using a template to route wood frames without splintering. For maglocks on glass doors—common in retail spaces near Airport North or downtown—the magnet must be mounted on a metal header or a reinforced bracket to avoid cracking the glass. Proper grounding is also critical in Orlando's storm-prone climate to prevent electrical surges from damaging the control board. Whether you need a strike for a single office door or a maglock system for a multi-tenant building, the work involves not just hardware installation but also integrating with your existing keypad, intercom, or card reader system. ## Areas We Cover in Orlando We provide electric strike and maglock installation services across the Orlando metro area, including neighborhoods and districts such as Airport North, Americana, Angebilt Addition, Ashton, Audubon Park, and Azalea Park.
