An electric strike is a locking mechanism used on doors in access controls systems. Usually, you can buy electric strike which are configured either as Fail-safe, or Fail-Secure. The difference between the two being that one needs power or electricity to lock, while the other needs power or electricity to unlock.
Fail secure means that if the power stopped working, the door would remain locked. And vice versa for Fail Safe: when the power goes out, the door would remain open. Which one you would need depends on your application - for example if there is a fire in an apartment building and the power goes out, you would need the doors to remain open so that people could get out safely. Other than for these safety concerns, most strikes will generally be fail-secure, so that if power were to go out, the room that you are trying to keep safe would not easily be accessed or broken in to.
Safety codes in many localities would limit the use of fail secure locks in many applications due to life safety concerns, so you should know and understand the codes of your job before purchasing a specific HES electric strike.
Other variable that come in to play when choosing the right HES Strike are: The size of the deadbolt, the type of lock (cylindrical, mortise,) the profile (slim, low profile, etc.) the amount of weight it could withstand, whether or not it is fire rated, whether or not you need horizontal adjustability, whether or not you need the strike to be concealed, whether or not you need the strike surface mounted, among others.
There are also many accessories and face-plates to consider that would be compatible and advisable to be purchased with your strike.
