Latch

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

To ensure that the new lock is compatible first, you must determine the setback of the doorjamb with an instrument such as a tape measure. The setback is the distance from the edge of the doorjamb to the center of the hole that will be used for the faceplate of the latch. Setbacks for standard latches are 2 3/8 to 2. 3/4 inches. If you have a greater setback, you may need to purchase a more substantial latch from a hardware store or locksmith.

Strike

An electric strike is the metallic piece where the latch and deadbolt engage when the door is shut. It is a vital part of the lock's overall security because it prevents the door from opening and provides additional resistance to force or kick. If a door is equipped with an electronic strike, it can be opened only by an entry key and a control unit that regulates its electrical impulses.

In the past, putting in an electronic strike was as simple as cutting off a part of a doorjamb, which would remove the latchbolt on a cylindrical lock from the pocket within the strike. This modification can be a drawback in regards to the appearance of openings as well as exposing the keeper mechanism and latchbolt to any unauthorised users.

Recently, a number of electric strike manufacturers have created a new type of electric strike dubbed the "No Cut" strike that doesn't require an opening in the doorjamb to function. The strikes have a unique design that allows the latchbolt and keeper to slide into the pocket without causing damage to the doorjamb's faceplate.

The strike is equipped with an internal ramp that raises the latchbolt and keeper whenever it receives an electrical impulse from a reader or controller. The keeper and latchbolt are pushed higher up the ramp due to retraction. When the door is closed, the deadbolt stays extended and the latchbolt is retracted into the keeper.
