Each strike is sized to one kind of latch. Start with the lock or exit device on the door, then pick the strike built for it.

Built for the latch on PDQ Grade 1 and Grade 2 cylindrical locks, including the GT, XGT, SX, GP, SD and SF Series and the GTS and SDS electronic locks.
Best for: Office suite entries and interior access-controlled doors
Built for PDQ MR Series mortise locks without a deadbolt. It adds electric release to a mortise opening without changing the lock.
Best for: Staff-only and controlled doors with MR Series mortise locks

A surface-mounted strike for PDQ 6300 and 6400 rim exit devices on wide and narrow stile doors.
Best for: Entrances and corridor doors with panic hardware
| Model | Fits | Fail Safe / Fail Secure | Voltage | Monitoring | Fire Rated |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 85001 | PDQ Grade 1 and Grade 2 cylindrical locks | Field changeable; ships fail secure | 12-24 VDC (0.28A @ 12 VDC, 0.14A @ 24 VDC) | Not available | Not listed |
| 85003 | PDQ MR Series mortise locks without deadbolt | Field changeable; ships fail secure | 12-24 VDC (0.28A @ 12 VDC, 0.14A @ 24 VDC) | Not available | Not listed |
| 9910 | PDQ 6300 and 6400 rim exit devices, wide and narrow stile | Fail secure only | 12/24 VDC or 12-24 VAC (500mA max @ 12 VDC) | Not available | 3-hour |
All three strikes come in 630 (US32D) satin stainless steel. Ask your rep about other finishes. The 85001 and 85003 are factory tested to 1,000,000 cycles. The 9910 is rated 1,500 lbf static, 70 ft-lb dynamic and 250,000 cycles. It surface mounts, fits 1/2" to 3/4" latch projection with the included spacer, and is non-handed.
Key: Fail secure = locked without power · Fail safe = unlocked without power · VDC / VAC = volts DC / AC
See every UL, ANSI/BHMA and ADA listing for PDQ hardware in one filterable matrix.
An electric strike is sized to a latch, so start with the hardware on the door. People often call the pairing an electric strike lock, but the strike and the lock are separate parts. Use the 85001 for PDQ cylindrical locks, the 85003 for MR Series mortise locks without a deadbolt, and the 9910 for 6300 and 6400 rim exit devices. A strike cannot release a deadbolt, so a mortise lock with a deadbolt needs an electrified lock such as the MR199 instead.
Then check the frame. The 85001 and 85003 installation instructions cover ANSI hollow metal and aluminum jambs. The 85003 prep sits on the latch centerline, which is not the standard ANSI strike prep, so tell your frame supplier before frames are prepped. The 9910 surface mounts on the frame and adjusts up to 1/4" for door misalignment.
A fail secure electric strike stays locked when power is lost. A fail safe electric strike unlocks. Fire-rated doors must stay latched in a fire, so they need a fail secure strike that carries a fire rating. Use fail safe only on non-rated doors that must open from the outside during an outage.
The 85001 and 85003 switch between modes in the field and ship fail secure, but they are not listed as fire rated. For a fire-rated opening, use the 9910, which is fail secure only and 3-hour fire rated. PDQ strikes do not include a latch or keeper monitor, so if your access control system needs to report that the door is closed, add a door position switch.

Match the strike to the voltage the system supplies. The 85001 and 85003 run on 12 or 24 VDC, set by how the leads are wired. The 9910 accepts 12/24 VDC or 12 to 24 VAC, so it is the only PDQ strike that runs on AC.
A working opening also needs a power supply, a reader or keypad and a controller from your access control system, and often a request to exit (REX) device. The PS220 power supply delivers 2 amps at 24 VDC across two fused outputs, links to the fire alarm, and is UL 294 listed.
Suite entries need card or keypad access for tenants and a locked door after hours. Pair the 85001 with a PDQ cylindrical lock, or the 85003 with an MR Series mortise lock, and set the strike to fail secure so the suite stays locked in an outage.
Hospitals and clinics limit access to staff areas and supply rooms without slowing staff down. Add the 85003 to MR Series mortise locks on staff-only doors, and use the 9910 on 6300 and 6400 rim exit devices where corridor doors have panic hardware. People inside still leave freely.
Lobby doors and amenity rooms need access for residents and vendors on a schedule. Use the 9910 on rim exit devices at main entries and the 85001 on amenity room doors with cylindrical locks. For unit doors with no wiring, see PDQ Spirit electronic door locks.
An electric strike is one part of an access-controlled door. Pair it with PDQ exit devices and electrified hardware for a complete opening.
Panic hardware for wide and narrow stile doors in rim, vertical rod and mortise styles.
Electrified locks, power supplies, power transfers and hinges for access-controlled openings.
