[(619) 324-0356](tel:6193240356)[Talk to an expert](/contact/) ## Electric Strike & Maglock Installation in Dothan Electric strike and maglock installation is a specialized service that involves retrofitting existing door frames with electronic locking hardware. An electric strike replaces the standard fixed strike plate on a door frame, allowing the latch to be released remotely when a signal is sent from an access control system, keypad, or intercom. A magnetic lock, or maglock, uses an electromagnet mounted on the door frame and an armature plate on the door; when energized, it holds the door shut with strong magnetic force, typically used for high-security areas. The installation process begins with assessing the door’s construction, wiring pathways, and power supply. For electric strikes, the technician must cut a precise recess into the frame, run low-voltage wiring from the lock to the control panel, and ensure the strike aligns with the latch. Maglocks require mounting the magnet securely on the header and the armature on the door, along with wiring to a power source and a release device like a push-button or card reader. Both systems often integrate with existing fire alarm systems to unlock automatically during emergencies, a crucial safety consideration. In Dothan, these installations are common for commercial offices, retail stores, and multi-tenant buildings where controlled access is needed without compromising security. The work involves careful routing of wires through walls or conduit, especially in older Dothan properties with solid-core doors or metal frames, where retrofitting can be more challenging. Proper installation ensures that the lock functions reliably despite temperature and humidity changes common in the Wiregrass region, and that the door’s existing hardware, like hinges and closers, can handle the electronic lock’s weight. This matters because Dothan properties benefit from keyless entry, remote monitoring, and the ability to grant or revoke access without changing physical keys, which is especially useful for businesses along Ross Clark Circle or in strip malls. ## Areas We Cover in Dothan We provide electric strike and maglock installation throughout Dothan, including neighborhoods like Bell-Merrill, Brannon Stand Heights, Brentwood, Brown Estates, Cherokee Acres, and Cottondale.
