@iteles thinking of ordering samples in the next couple of days so that we can test them.
Are you interested in pairing on this, or should I just proceed and "own" this?

[iteles]

I’m super interested in pairing on this (as in, I want to learn how it works and test them when they arrive) but only one of us should own this (and it should be you, because you know what you’re talking about here).

Let’s totally order these today though.

The first one says it’s suitable for a small glass door?
For the second one I assume we want the version which is locked when the power is ON (for the internal doors).

@iteles we have 17 e-access doors as outlined in #1

The most affordable supplier on ebay appears to only have 4 units in stock:

my question is: should we order all units from the same supplier to simplify installation,
or should we save a few €'s by ordering from two different suppliers?

[iteles]

In the long run, we will save more money by ordering them all to be exactly the same 👍

Ordered electric strikes. 📦 ✅
Should take a few weeks to arrive... ⏳
Need to work on basic electronics next.

@nelsonic 🎉
Does the basic electronics category include ordering transformers and door handles too or is that the next step after that?

The Electric Strikes ordered from China arrived and have already been used as a reference by the carpenter and electricians; they finally "understand" how the system will work and are working with me instead of displaying _blank faces when I try to explain it to them verbally.

Meanwhile this supplier in Ireland appears to have a much better product description:

The dimensions are almost identical (2mm wider) and the anti-backlash diode is a good plan.
Thinking of ordering the remaining units from this supplier. (have requested a shipping quote to PT)
