YALE YB18-12-M Electric Strike 10-24V AC/DC NC Mechanical Override Universal Mount

Product Overview

The YALE YB18-12-M electric strike is designed for access control systems in commercial, office, and residential installations where versatile mounting and emergency unlock are required. Offering a symmetrical structure for universal mounting?left or right doors, vertical or horizontal positions?the device operates on a wide 10-24 V AC/DC voltage range and features mechanical override for manual unlocking during power failure or emergencies.

The standout feature of this SKU is its integrated mechanical unlock mechanism, which allows manual door opening without electrical power. This eliminates procurement risk for projects that require compliance with partial-access control and ensures safety and usability during outages or system failures. It is recommended for facility managers and integrators seeking robust access control hardware for mixed-purpose environments with occasional manual override demands.
