Latch

A latch is a piece metal that extends through the door jamb to keep it shut. The latch is operated by a knob or handle on the interior of the door, or a thumb-turn on the exterior.

Traditionally, installing an electric strike meant cutting out a portion of the doorjamb to remotely release the latchbolt of a circular lock from the pocket within the strike. This is not only unattractive however, it also exposes the mechanism of the latchbolt and the keeper to intruders.

Recently, several electric strike manufacturers have developed an innovative type of electric strike, dubbed the "No Cut" strike that doesn't require cutouts in the doorjamb to operate. The strikes have a unique design that allows the latchbolt and keeper to slide into the pocket without damaging the faceplate of the doorjamb.

The strike is fitted with an internal ramp that raises the latchbolt and keeper when it receives an indication from the reader.
