Product Description
Von Duprin 6221 Electric Strike — Satin Stainless Steel
The Von Duprin 6221 is an open-back electric strike for cylindrical locks on 1-3/4" doors. The open-back design provides clearance for deadbolts or extended-throw latchbolts that need room behind the strike. Factory configured as fail safe — power cuts, strike releases. 12VDC operation. Fire rated UL 10C. When a standard closed-back strike like the 6211 blocks the bolt throw, the 6221's open back solves it.
⚡ Fail Safe vs. Fail Secure — What's the Difference?
Fail Safe — Strike unlocks when power is lost. The door can be opened freely during a power outage. Required on most fire-rated egress doors for life safety. This is the default for fire exits and emergency egress paths.
Fail Secure — Strike remains locked when power is lost. Key override is always available from outside. Used for server rooms, evidence rooms, or anywhere security must be maintained during a power failure. The mechanical push bar still allows free egress from inside.
Pro-Tip from Our Locksmiths: Von Duprin strikes are workhorses — we see these on everything from hospitals to schools. Keep your power supply clean and your frame prep tight, and these will outlast the door.
