STI KIT-KL1 Key-Lock Assembly HID Credential Strike
Overview
The STI KIT-KL1 is a key-lock assembly strike rated for 9VDC operation, designed for access control installations where mechanical key override and HID credential authentication must coexist on the same door. This hybrid strike type addresses the common requirement to maintain a physical key-backup path while deploying credential-based access — useful in facilities where cardholders or credential readers fail and staff need emergency manual access without destructive entry.
Compatibility
The KIT-KL1 integrates with HID-based credential systems (card readers, fob readers, proximity systems). Verify that your access control panel, power supply, and reader infrastructure operate at 9VDC before specifying this strike. Confirm mechanical fit with your door frame, strike pocket depth, and latch type — strike assemblies are form-factor-specific and cannot be retrofitted across different door hardware families without modification.
Installation Notes
Mounting requires standard strike-pocket preparation and alignment with the latch mechanism. Position the strike assembly in the frame and secure with the fasteners provided. Verify polarity on 9VDC supply before energizing — reversed polarity will damage the solenoid. Ensure cable entry points are sealed against water ingress if the door is exposed to weather. Test manual key operation and electronic strike release under power before placing the system in service.
