Description
Reliable Access Control with the Dc-N512G Mortice Electric Release
Managing high traffic commercial entrances while maintaining reliable safety standards is a challenge for facilities managers and installers alike. Standard manual latches require physical keys that can be lost or copied, which causes regular disruption to busy offices, communal residential developments, and commercial properties. The Dc-N512G 12V Dc Mortice Electric Release Grey Fail Unlocked provides a robust answer by modernising timber or metal door frames into electronically controlled access points without demanding a complete overhaul of your existing latch hardware.
Configured for fail safe operation, this mortice electric strike automatically unlocks when electrical power is removed or interrupted. In high occupancy spaces, having a door release on power cut ensures unhindered egress during emergency evacuations or power disruptions, aligning neatly with modern fire safety routines. The powder coated grey faceplate allows the unit to blend discreetly into industrial, aluminium, or contemporary timber door jambs, providing a neat visual profile that stands up to regular daily use.
Engineered for low maintenance and seamless compatibility, this 12V DC mortice strike integrates directly with standard intercom systems, card readers, digital keypads, and push to exit buttons. By replacing standard mechanical strike plates, you gain automated perimeter management that protects your occupants while streamlining daily foot traffic through shared communal entrances.
Step by Step Installation and Operational Stages
Stage 1 Preparation and Mortice Rebating
Accurate timber or metal frame preparation guarantees smooth operation. Mark the latch position carefully against the door frame before cutting the pocket rebate. Ensuring clean internal clearance prevents the internal solenoid from binding against adjacent timber fibres or framing screws.
Stage 2 Low Voltage Electrical Routing
Route your regulated 12V DC power lines through the frame cavity with generous slack to prevent pinched wires. Terminate the connections securely using quality crimps or terminal connectors, ensuring clean polarity so the continuous duty solenoid operates smoothly without voltage drop.
Stage 3 Faceplate Fixing and Alignment
Fix the grey faceplate securely into the door jamb using countersunk screws. Align the keep perfectly with the existing mechanical latch tongue so that closing the door does not apply resting preload pressure onto the moving release jaw, which ensures effortless unlatching.
Stage 4 Access Controller Commissioning
Connect the circuit to your access control relay or timer module. Trigger test cycles across access cards, push buttons, and simulated mains cuts to confirm the fail safe mechanism immediately unlocks the jaw when power drops, guaranteeing safe exit during emergencies.
Key Operational Advantages
Selecting the correct hardware for electronic door releases requires balancing daily durability against life safety requirements. The Dc-N512G 12V Dc Mortice Electric Release Grey Fail Unlocked delivers several practical benefits for commercial property owners and security installers.
- Fail Safe Protection The internal mechanism automatically releases when power is lost, allowing occupants to exit freely without obstruction during building evacuations or main line electrical faults.
- Continuous Duty Solenoid Designed to remain energised during regular operational hours without overheating, providing long service life on busy communal doors.
- Neutral Grey Finish The durable powder coated grey finish matches aluminium shopfronts, industrial steel frames, and modern painted timber door sets.
- Seamless Intercom Integration Works alongside standard 12V DC door entry systems, digital keypads, proximity tag readers, and remote reception release buttons.
- Mortice Concealment Sits flush within the door frame to protect the internal electrical components from tampering, vandalism, and environmental dust.

Best Practice Maintenance Tips
To keep your electric release operating reliably over years of continuous use, regular inspections should be scheduled alongside routine door closer checks. Make sure the latchbolt enters the release jaw cleanly without rubbing the top or bottom edges of the opening, as any vertical sag in the door hinges will introduce side load friction that could prevent the release from tripping smoothly.
Keep the moving release jaw free of heavy oil or thick grease, which tends to attract airborne grit and dust that can gum up the internal pivot points. A light application of dry PTFE lubricant once or twice a year is sufficient to preserve smooth mechanical operation. Additionally, check wire terminals inside the frame annually to confirm screw fixings remain tight and corrosion free.
