Commercial Electric Door Strike with 3 Interchangeable Faceplates for Aluminum, Hollow Metal & Wood Frames

The BEA 10STRIKECU Universal Cylindrical Electric Strike is a commercial-grade electronic locking solution designed to provide controlled access through compatible cylindrical locksets and commercial door assemblies.

Featuring field-selectable fail-safe or fail-secure operation, flexible 12/24V AC/DC electrical compatibility, and three interchangeable faceplates, the BEA 10STRIKECU provides a versatile electric strike solution for commercial access control applications.

The universal design accommodates common aluminum storefront, hollow metal, and wood door frames, helping installers reduce the need for multiple electric strike models.

The strike accepts 1/2" or 5/8" latchbolt projections and provides up to 1/4" of horizontal adjustment, making it particularly useful for commercial narrow-stile aluminum frames and retrofit installations.

Manufactured for demanding commercial applications, the 10STRIKECU is UL 294 and UL 1034 listed, with a manufacturer-published 1,000 lb static strength rating, 70 lb dynamic rating, and 250,000-cycle UL endurance testing.

Universal Three-Faceplate Design

The BEA 10STRIKECU includes three interchangeable faceplates to accommodate common commercial door frame materials.

Aluminum Frame Faceplate

Designed for compatible aluminum storefront frames and narrow-stile commercial entrance applications.

Hollow Metal Frame Faceplate

Designed for standard commercial hollow metal frames commonly used in institutional, industrial, and office facilities.

Wood Frame Faceplate

Provides an installation option for compatible commercial wood frame applications.

This multi-faceplate configuration allows contractors and maintenance technicians to stock one versatile strike for several common opening types.

Field-Selectable Fail-Safe / Fail-Secure Operation

The 10STRIKECU supports selectable locking behavior using the manufacturer's designated configuration procedure.

Fail-Secure Operation

The electric strike remains locked when electrical power is removed.

When properly energized, the keeper releases to permit authorized entry.

This configuration is commonly used for commercial entrances where maintaining exterior security during a power interruption is required.

Fail-Safe Operation

The electric strike releases when power is removed, allowing the latchbolt to pass through the strike keeper.

Fail-safe operation must use the proper DC electrical configuration and must be selected according to the intended application.

Important: Fail-safe and fail-secure behavior describes the electric strike keeper. The complete door's ability to provide emergency egress depends on the lockset, hardware, and overall approved installation.

12VDC / 24VDC / 12–24VAC Electrical Compatibility

The BEA 10STRIKECU supports multiple electrical configurations.

Important Electrical Notes

• DC operation supports continuous-duty use.

• AC operation is intermittent-duty only.

• AC-powered operation produces an audible buzz.

• Fail-safe operation requires the appropriate DC configuration.

• Follow BEA's wiring and jumper instructions when selecting voltage.

• Use a compatible listed power supply appropriate for the installation.

Adjustable Latchbolt Compatibility

The BEA 10STRIKECU is designed to accommodate common commercial cylindrical latchbolts with either:

• 1/2" latchbolt projection

• 5/8" latchbolt projection

The strike also provides up to 1/4" of horizontal adjustment to help achieve proper engagement.

This feature is particularly valuable during access control retrofits where existing door and frame preparations may have minor alignment differences.

Compatibility Note: Confirm latchbolt dimensions, deadlatch operation, door clearances, and strike preparation before installation. Not every cylindrical or mortise lockset is automatically compatible.

Heavy-Duty Commercial Construction

The 10STRIKECU incorporates a reinforced electric strike housing and conventional keeper design to help distribute force during attempted entry.

The universal assembly is suitable for commercial entrances requiring dependable electrical release and secure latch engagement.

• Reinforced strike housing

• Electrically controlled keeper

• Adjustable latch alignment

• Three modular mounting faceplates

• Non-handed installation

• Field-configurable locking mode
