About this item
The Trine 002-12DC is a heavy-duty electric strike that releases a door electrically for access control, built for both new and replacement installations in wood and metal jambs. An electric strike replaces the fixed strike plate in the frame: energize it and the keeper releases so the door opens on a push, which is how a buzzer, keypad, or access control system grants entry. The 002 is part of Trine's proven 00 Series, with a 7-15/16" x 1-7/16" aluminum powder-coated faceplate, a 1000 lb holding force, and a design with only one moving part in the locking mechanism for long, trouble-free service. This version runs on 12VDC.
What the Trine 002 does and where it fits
This is a mortise-style electric strike sized to replace a standard mortise strike in a wood or metal jamb, which makes it a practical retrofit as well as a new-construction choice. It works with cylindrical and mortise locksets that have up to a 5/8" latchbolt throw (based on a 1/8" door gap), and it includes auxiliary lever ramps for use with locksets that have deadlocking levers (deadlatches), so the deadlatch plunger rides the ramp correctly and the lock stays secure. The mortise backset is 1-9/16", and the auxiliary ramp measures 2-7/8".
Wired to an access control system, intercom, or entry buzzer, the strike releases the keeper on signal so the door opens, then relatches when the door closes. It's non-handed, so one unit works on either hand of door, which simplifies ordering and stocking.
Built simple and strong
The standout engineering point on the 00 Series is right there in the spec: only one moving part in the locking mechanism. Fewer moving parts means fewer things to wear or fail, which is why the strike is rated for 500,000 life cycles and holds up in steady commercial use. It also delivers a 1000 lb holding force, so it resists being pushed open when locked, and it uses a heavy-duty latch spring for reliable latching. The faceplate is aluminum with a durable powder-coated finish.
Because it's designed for new or replacement work, the 002 fits cleanly where an existing mortise strike comes out, a real time-saver on retrofit and access-control upgrade jobs where you don't want to rework the frame.

Why choose the Trine 002-12DC
Trine has built electric strikes for decades, and the 00 Series is its dependable, value-priced workhorse. The 002-12DC gives you a 1000 lb holding force, a simple one-moving-part mechanism rated to 500,000 cycles, deadlatch-compatible auxiliary ramps, and non-handed fit in wood or metal jambs, all at a sensible price. For a straightforward access-control release on a standard mortise-strike opening, new or retrofit, it covers the job without overspending.
One thing to confirm before ordering: the 002 fits locksets with up to a 5/8" throw and uses a 7-15/16" x 1-7/16" faceplate in a 1-9/16" mortise backset, so verify your lockset throw, jamb prep, and faceplate size match. This listing is the 12VDC version; confirm your power supply voltage. Trine also offers radius-corner faceplate options (like the CRD8) if your prep calls for them.
