Abstract
An actuator controlled electric strike for operating in conjunction with a latch of a lockset. The strike comprises a keeper support bracket movable between first and second positions. When the bracket is in the first position a keeper is held in either a locked or unlocked position, and when the bracket is in the second position the keeper is movable to the other position. An actuating mechanism is operatively connected to the bracket and is configured to allow the bracket to move between the first and second positions. First and second biasing mechanisms apply a net force to the bracket. The first biasing mechanism applies a first force to the bracket in the first direction, and the second biasing mechanism applies a second force to the bracket in the second direction. When the bracket is in the first position, the net force of the biasing member is approximately zero.
