Description
Overview
The LOX ES20M is a commercial-grade, fully monitored high-security electric strike built for hinged doors in demanding Australian access control applications. Engineered with an Australian Footprint — a form factor designed to retrofit cleanly into standard Australian commercial door frames — the ES20M delivers a 1,000kg holding force from a solid stainless steel body. Triple monitoring via LSS (Lock Status), DSS (Door Status), and ATS (Anti-Tamper) sensors gives your access control system complete real-time visibility, while multi-voltage 10–30VDC operation and field-selectable Fail-Safe or Fail-Secure modes make it one of the most versatile and compliant electric strikes available in Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between an electric strike and an electromagnetic lock?
- An electric strike replaces the door frame’s strike plate and works with the door’s existing latch or deadbolt — the lock stays in the door leaf, allowing free egress from the inside at all times. A maglock holds the door closed magnetically and requires a separate egress button. Electric strikes are generally preferred for hinged doors where existing door hardware is retained.
- What is the difference between Fail-Safe and Fail-Secure on the ES20M?
-
Fail-Safe (Power-to-Lock): Locks when power is applied, releases when power is cut — correct for most commercial and fire-rated applications requiring safe egress during a power failure. Fail-Secure (Power-to-Release): Remains locked when power is cut — correct for high-security applications where the door must stay locked during a power failure. The ES20M is field-selectable between both modes on site.
- What does the ATS (Anti-Tamper Sensor) do?
- The ATS detects if the ES20M strike body is physically tampered with, forced, or removed from the door frame, and outputs an alert to your access control panel — a layer of security that LSS/DSS-only strikes cannot provide.
- What is the “Australian Footprint”?
- The ES20M is dimensioned to retrofit directly into standard Australian commercial door frame strike pockets without modification, reducing installation time and eliminating the need for custom routing or adaptor plates on most Australian commercial frames.
- Is the ES20M suitable for fire-rated doors?
- Yes. The ES20M is certified to AS/NZS 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.
