YALE YB18-12 Electric Strike 10-24V AC/DC Universal Mount 16mm NC with Switch

Product Overview

YALE YB18-12 NC electric strike is used for access control in office, commercial, and residential buildings where secure entry and flexible installation are required. It supports a wide supply voltage range of 10-24 V AC/DC and features a symmetric body design, enabling universal mounting for both left- and right-opening doors, as well as vertical or horizontal positioning. The strike offers adjustable radially-latching functionality and is mechanically tested for durability with 3,750 N resistance and 250,000 operating cycles.

The standout feature of this model is its wide voltage compatibility (10-24 V AC/DC), which allows seamless integration with diverse access control systems and simplifies procurement by reducing the need for multiple product variants. This minimizes technical risks for installers and system integrators on mixed-infrastructure projects and is particularly suited for bulk procurement in commercial building retrofits or new installations requiring flexible, standardized door hardware.
