Gents,
I'm attempting to put an electric door strike/keypad setup on my garage. Currently it has a standard cylindrical lock (no key) and a deadbolt above it.
I'm not much of a locksmith but if I put an electric strike on the deadbolt that's not going to work as the deadbolt wouldn't retract.
If I put one on the cylindrical lock, couldn't you just turn the handle to bypass it?
Do I need to change out my lock hardware for an electric strike to work?
Appreciate any input.
