Description
LOX ES10M Monitored ANSI Electric Strike – 1200kg Holding Force, DSS Monitoring, Fail-Safe & Fail-Secure, Fire Rated
Overview
The LOX ES10M is a premium, high-security ANSI-style monitored electric door strike built for both residential and commercial access control applications across Australia. Delivering an impressive 1,200kg holding force from a compact stainless steel body, the ES10M includes an integrated Door Status Sensor (DSS) for real-time latch position monitoring — ideal for alarm system integration and access control audit trails. Field-selectable Fail-Safe or Fail-Secure operation, dual 12V/24VDC compatibility, and a 4-hour fire rating make it a versatile and compliant choice for Australian security installers.
Description
ANSI-style electric strikes are the standard format for most residential and light commercial door hardware in Australia, designed to work with cylindrical and mortice latches on hinged doors. The ES10M’s compact 124mm body fits the ANSI strike pocket found in the majority of Australian door frames, making it a straightforward retrofit or new installation without frame modification.
The integrated DSS (Door Status Sensor) monitors latch position in real time, feeding status back to your access control panel or alarm system — so you know whether the door is properly latched and the strike is engaged. Field-selectable Fail-Safe or Fail-Secure modes are set on site with a small screwdriver, giving installers the flexibility to configure the correct egress behaviour without replacing hardware. The high-grade stainless steel striker and faceplate are built for long-term operational life in high-traffic commercial environments, and the 4-hour fire rating ensures compliance with Australian building codes for fire-rated door assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ANSI-style electric strike?
ANSI-style electric strikes follow the standard ANSI/BHMA dimensions used for most residential and light commercial door hardware in Australia. The ES10M’s 124mm body fits the ANSI strike pocket found in the majority of Australian door frames, making it a straightforward retrofit without frame modification.
What does the DSS (Door Status Sensor) monitor?
The DSS monitors the position of the door latch in real time. It detects whether the latch is engaged in the strike (door properly closed) or retracted (door open or ajar), feeding this status back to your access control panel or alarm system for monitoring and alert triggering.
What is the difference between the ES10M and the ES20M?
The ES10M is an ANSI-style strike with DSS latch monitoring and 1,200kg holding force. The ES20M is a larger format strike with triple monitoring (LSS, DSS & ATS), 1,000kg holding force, multi-voltage 10–30VDC operation, and an “Australian Footprint” designed to retrofit into standard Australian commercial door frames. The ES20M is the preferred choice for higher-security or fully monitored commercial access control systems.
What is the difference between Fail-Safe and Fail-Secure?
Fail-Safe (Power-to-Lock): The strike locks when power is applied and releases when power is cut — correct for most commercial and fire-rated door applications where safe egress during a power failure is required. Fail-Secure (Power-to-Release): The strike remains locked when power is cut and releases only when power is applied — correct for high-security applications where the door must remain locked during a power failure. The ES10M is field-selectable between both modes on site.
Is the ES10M suitable for fire-rated doors?
Yes. The ES10M is certified to AS Standards for use on fire-rated hinged door assemblies for up to 4 hours, meeting Australian building code requirements for fire-rated access control hardware.
Do you ship Australia-wide?
Yes. We ship to all states and territories including NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT, and NT. Contact us for bulk order pricing and project quotes.
