QUESTION: Do you have an electric strike with no wiring?
ANSWER: There are no wireless (battery powered) electric strikes that we know of on the market. While we do not know the full details of your installation, a battery powered lockset may easily fulfill your application needs.
Question: When the fire alarm system is deactivated because it is being serviced or altered: Does the delayed-egress lock continue to hold or does the lock fail-safe into unlocked condition?
Answer: This is a very good question and important concern for facilities responsible for patient care, such as Psychiatric Facilities, Hospitals with infant and child protection needs and Long Term Care facilities responsible for the elderly. Prior to your question SDC has not heard of any related problems.

Question: Please reply with links to SDC “stand alone battery powered lock-sets” for two applications:
Answer:
STANDALONE BATTERY POWERED DOOR LOCKSET WITH REMOTE CONTROL INPUT
While not shown in literature, all SDC E70 Series Battery Powered Locks are equipped with a remote release input. However, this remote control input requires the installation of 2 wires to be run through the door from the lock stile to the hinge stile and then to the frame jamb via a power loop or electric hinge which is then wired to the remote control device such as, button, keypad or keyswitch. Generally, residential entry doors are not fire rated and do not require inspection. However, residential swinging doors that provide access from the garage into the primary home/living area are typically fire rated (look for fire label on hinge stile) and may require inspection after installation to ensure fire door integrity is maintained.

Can we remove the components from the base plate and fabricate in to the header piece? If so, will this void any warranty? Any suggestions?
