Latch

A latch is a piece of metal that extends through the doorjamb to secure it shut. It is operated by a handle or knob on the interior side of the door or by a thumb turn on the outside side of the door. The latch can be secured using deadbolts to stop intrusions from piercing the door's glass. It also provides protection from accidental or intentional closing of the door by pets or children. The latch can be fitted using one cylinder deadbolt or double cylinder deadbolts depending on the security level you prefer.

Installing a deadbolt is the same as installing a latch however there are some differences. First, determine the setback of the doorjamb using a tape measure to make sure the new lock will fit. The setback is the distance from the edge of the doorjamb to the center of the hole for the faceplate of the latch. The standard setback is 2 3/8 to 2 3/4 inches.

Strike

The piece of metal that connects the deadbolt and latch when the door is closed is an electric strike. It is a crucial component of the security of a lock, because it seals the door and also provides additional resistance to force or kicks applied to the door. If a door is equipped with an electronic strike, it will be opened only by an entry key and a control unit that controls its electrical impulses.

Traditionally the installation of an electric strike involved cutting a section of the doorjamb in order to release the latchbolt of a circular lock from the pocket within the strike. This change can be an inconvenience in regards to the aesthetics of an opening, and it also exposes the mechanism of the latchbolt and keeper to unauthorized users.

The strike has an internal ramp that raises the latchbolt and keeper when it receives an electrical impulse from a controller or reader.
