RESIDENTIAL ELECTRIC DOOR STRIKE AND INSTALLATION METHOD

摘要

An electric door strike for installation in residential wood frame door frames permits "hands-free" home access. An installation jig used to form an aperture in the door frame and a cavity in the underlying stud in which the door strike is mounted. A remote control circuit transmitter actuates the door strike to an unlatched position and a time delay circuit returns the door strike to a latched position after a predetermined delay time period. The transmitter can be used to interrupt the predetermined delay time period and immediately return the door strike to the latched position.
