2:06 Small correction. An electric strike which is locked when no power is applied is referred to as "Fail-secure", not "Fail-safe". In a fail-safe installation, the strike would be unlocked when no power is applied. 7:56 Confirmation of fail-secure strike. Box for replacement indicates type as "NON FAIL SAFE".
I'm not sure if putting 20V through a 12V device is a good idea but it sounds like there was actually a mechanical problem with the old one, since the solenoid was working.
Good idea using the drill battery. I would be nervous that the higher voltage may hurt a 12V strike. Something that may complement your toolbox is an in-line power controller by HES. If you search the web for 2005M3 SMART Pac III Original & replacement was actually Fail-Secure. New box was marked as "Non Fail-Safe" meaning Fail-Secure.
great video I do love watching a trades person at work, It was also a little scary how fast you open the door with the Kronos, would security pins had made a difference ??

yes you are correct

Agreed. I run 12v model trains off 9v batteries. But if i put in 18v i could break the train.
rule of thumb is generally +/-10%

That's a nice little device that paciii
Yeah those electric strikes can be a nightmare to match!
Good video but Why you used your camera mobile phone to record?
Great video. Thank u!
thanks for sharing!
So this is powered by a transformer like a 12 volt transformer we use for door bells?
Yes, the intercom or access control system will supply 12v power when needed, or you could use a power pack.. When power is applied it opens
@@DrLockShop like a door bell transformer? thank you for giving me advice
Awesome video... For new installs are you using any NO CUT electric strikes? If so which one and do you recommend any?

Yes a security key or mushroom pins would make it harder
Just retrofit an lg basic and be done with it
