What is a Site Survey?
A site survey is an inspection of an area where work is
proposed, to gather information for a design or an
estimate to complete the initial tasks required for an
outdoor activity. It can determine a precise location,
access, best orientation for the site and the location of
obstacles. The type of site survey and the best practices
required depend on the nature of the project.

Note Problem Areas
• Check each door, frame,
and surroundings.
• Make note of possible
problems:
- Weak or sagging door
- Concrete filled
- Door closer in frame
- Getting wire to the
door, etc.
47
Take Necessary Measurements
Note at each door:
 Mounting surface,
 Distance of wire run(s),
 Width of door(s).

workmanship??
Not!!

wrong here? I

Locksets Designs
Designs that work with electric strikes
• Bored locks (cylindrical locksets)
• Mortise locks
• Panic exit devices
• Narrow stile latch bolts
• Unit locks
• Deadbolts
• Hook bolts
Latch bolt
Guard bolt
Bored Locks (Cylindrical locks)
A lock for a door prepared with one or more cross-bores & one or more
edge-bores, sometimes called “cylindrical locks”. Many functions, features,
trim designs and finishes are available with cylindrical locksets.
1/2”, 5/8” and 3/4” latch bolt depth
What else is important to know?
Not bad for
trying to fix a
bigger mess!
Mortise Locks
The term “mortise” lock describes how the lock case fits into a prepared
rectangular shaped recess (mortise) in the edge of a door. Many functions,
features, trim designs and finishes are available with a mortise lockset.
Comes with or with out a Deadbolt (up to 1”)
It’s all about the
application.
Proper alignment of
latch and deadlatch
to opening strike

Linear verses Switching Power
Linear:
Switching:
Block transformer (steel or iron)
decreases voltage by burning off heat!
Steps down power through diodes and
capacitors to smooth out and drop
voltage, reducing noise!
Switching
Linear

Linear Power – Dominant until
1970’s

Now : Consumer Products, Toys,
Cell, etc.

Uses diodes & capacitors for
smoothing out voltage - Quieter

Approx. 60% efficiency

Reliability – Higher

Conversion required for use
outside the US

Does not tolerate small losses of
power – can cause major issues

Handles voltage load changes
better

Switch Mode – Available in 1970’s

Diodes & capacitors smooth in high
voltage DC.

DC converted to low voltage by
small ferrite xtrmr and FET’s or
transistors.

Voltage is converted into DC output
by another set of diodes and
capacitors & inductors.

Approx. 80% efficiency

Reliability – Lower

Operate almost worldwide

Tolerates small power losses
How a PTC Works
•
Current flows thru the PTC and the circuit
generates heat.
•
As long as the temperature increase does not
cause a phase change, nothing happens,
voltage flows.
•
If the polymer’s crystalline structure
disappears, the volume expands and the
conducting carbon chains are broken –
resulting in a dramatic increase in resistance
or an open circuit.
•
When it cools off the polymer returns to its
crystalline structure, the volume decreases,
carbon particles touch, & the circuit closes
again – voltage flows.
