Two ways to hold a door

Release the latch, or lock the door itself

Trimec, part of ASSA ABLOY Australia, makes the electrified hardware that an access control system switches. A strike works with the lock already in the door; a maglock or bolt does the holding itself. We choose on the door, the frame, the fire rating and how the door has to behave when power is lost.

Electric strikes

The lock in the door stays as it is, and the strike in the frame lets the latch go when the access system says so. Switches inside tell the controller whether the strike is locked and the latch is home, and fail safe or fail secure is set on site.

  • ES9000 and ES9100 pre-load strikes, 10 to 30 V DC
  • ES2000, ES2100 and ES3000 monitored strikes
  • ES2600 surface strike for panic bars with Pullman latches
  • ES150 surface strike for rim latches, with an IP56 version

Maglocks and bolts

Where a strike will not suit the door, the lock goes on the door and frame instead. Maglocks hold glass and aluminium doors with no moving parts, and motorised and solenoid bolts throw into the frame. Each one reports its own state, from magnet bond to bolt position.

  • Z series maglocks, 250 to 1160 kg, single or double
  • ES8000 V-Lock and its ASSA ABLOY successor, the ES8100
  • TB25 drop bolts, 1000 kg, for swing-through doors
  • ES6000 hook lock for sliding and swinging doors
On the door

What a Trimec device does on the door

A reader only decides who may enter. The strike, maglock or bolt is what actually holds the door or lets it go, and these are the details that make it dependable.

Doors under pressure

Seals, warped leaves, people pulling and air pressure all leave load on a lock, and an ordinary strike can jam. Pre-load strikes such as the ES9000 release with up to 25 kg on them, the ES8100 V-Lock with up to 100 kg in 3-wire mode, and the ES6000 hook lock with 300 kg of side pressure.

Monitored, not just shut

A closed door is not always a locked one. Monitored strikes report solenoid and latch state, Z series maglocks sense the bond with the armature, and bolts report their position, so the access system knows the door is truly secure.

Fire doors and safe exit

Fail safe or fail secure is chosen door by door on site, so exit paths open when lock power is cut while a comms room can stay locked. Much of the range is fire rated on fire door assemblies to AS 1905.1, up to four hours for the ES9100 strike and the Z series maglocks.

Glass, sliding and panic doors

Swing-through glass doors take TB25 drop bolts, double doors take Z series double maglocks, panic bars with Pullman latches take the ES2600, sliding doors take the ES6000 hook lock, and cabinets with swing or sliding doors take the EL110.

Held open or forced

Door position sensing is built into the ES9100 strike and the ES8100 V-Lock, and the TB25 bolt has a magnet in its strike plate. The controller can raise door forced and held open alarms from it, and those alarms can come through to our monitoring centre.

High security doors

The ES8200 Technilock was first developed for custodial use. It holds beyond 2500 kg, still releases with 70 kg of side pressure, and reports bolt position and door closed, with key override monitoring on request. It suits banks, jewellers and government sites.

Trimec strikes, maglocks and bolts are wired to the door controller and its lock power supply. The controller releases them on a valid credential and reads back their monitoring, so forced and held-open doors can come through to our monitoring centre.

What Teracom does on a Trimec job

  1. Specify

    Each door matched to a strike, maglock or bolt by its frame, latch, fire rating and the load it carries, with fail safe or fail secure chosen for its role.

  2. Install

    Hardware fitted and wired back to the controller, the fail mode set on site, and every monitoring switch and door position contact tested.

  3. Integrate with access control

    Locks connected to the reader and controller so the system sees latch, bond and door status, with door alarms able to reach our monitoring centre.

  4. Service

    Faults, worn hardware and door alignment handled on a maintenance plan, with replacements matched to the original Trimec part.

Trimec is an Australian-founded manufacturer specialising in electric strikes, electromagnetic locks and electromechanical bolts, acquired by ASSA ABLOY in 2000 and now operated as part of ASSA ABLOY Australia. Its products form the electrified locking hardware behind almost every card-reader or keypad-controlled door — the strike or bolt that physically releases when a valid credential is presented.

Its current flagship, the ES8100 V-Lock, is designed and assembled in Australia with a 100kg pre-load rating, integrated door position monitoring, onboard diagnostics, tolerance for door misalignment, an IP53 rating for external doors and simple one-step fail-safe/fail-secure configuration on site. The ES2000 stainless-steel range is rated to 850kg holding force with a 1-million-cycle endurance rating for high-traffic or high-security doors. Because Trimec is engineered and locally supported for Australian door hardware and building codes, integrators get strikes pre-matched to common local door and frame configurations, reducing on-site fabrication and compliance risk.
