The hollow metal door, frame and cylindrical lever hardware shown inapplication images are not included with this package.
Cylindrical lever locks are one of the most common types of locking hardwareused on commercial hollow metal doors.
When the cylindrical lock is latched, the latchbolt engages the strike areain the hollow metal frame and prevents the door from opening until the latchis released.
That creates an important consideration when adding an automatic door operator:the automatic operator should not attempt to open against a latched door.
This Maverick HA8LP package addresses that requirement by including acylindrical lock electric strikefor compatible commercial cylindrical locking hardware.
When properly installed and configured, the electric strike releases thecylindrical latch before the automatic operator begins moving the door.
One of the primary advantages of this package is the coordinatedautomatic unlock-and-open sequence.
The electric strike and Maverick HA8LP work together so the compatiblecylindrical latch can be releasedbefore the operator applies opening force to the door.
This provides acoordinated automatic unlocking and automatic opening sequencerather than having the HA8LP attempt to open against a secured latch.
A cylindrical lever lock normally secures the door by extending its latchboltinto the strike opening in the hollow metal frame.
For automatic operation, the latch must be released before the automaticoperator can move the door.
Acylindrical lock electric strike provides an electrically controlledrelease point at the frame.
When the automatic door system receives an authorized activation signal,the electric strike releases so the latch can clear the frame withoutrequiring the pedestrian to manually turn or operate the lever.
The Maverick HA8LP can then begin the automatic opening cycle.
One of the goals of an accessible automatic entrance is to minimize themanual steps required to open the door.
Without electric unlocking, a locked or latched cylindrical lever couldrequire the pedestrian to operate the lever before the automatic operatorcould open the door.
This package is designed so that a compatible electric strike canrelease the latch automatically as part of the HA8LP opening sequence.
Once the strike releases, the user does not need to manually retract thecylindrical latch before the automatic operator begins opening the door.
Selecting the correct electric strike package depends on the locking hardwareinstalled on your hollow metal door.

This hollow metal automatic door package includestwo wireless handicap activation push buttonsfor automatic door activation from both sides of the opening.
A typical installation placesone activation button on each side of the door,allowing pedestrians approaching from either direction to initiate theautomatic opening sequence.
When either button is pressed, its wireless transmitter sends an activationsignal to the receiver connected to the Maverick HA8LP.
The system can then initiate theelectric strike release followed by the automatic door opening cycle.
The included activation devices use4.75" x 4.75" commercial stainless steel handicap push plates.
Running activation wiring to both sides of an existing hollow metal openingcan add time and complexity to an automatic door installation.
The included wireless system allows the handicap push buttons to communicatewith the HA8LP receiverwithout requiring activation wiring to be run from each push buttonlocation back to the automatic door operator.
This makes the package particularly useful when converting anexisting manual hollow metal door into an automatic entrance.
