What is the difference between the previous version product and a Quik-Wire version?
The differences fall into three categories: connector, product packaging and instructions. The previous connector was a white, two-pin connector. For dual-voltage strikes, the default wiring was 12V. To change to 24V configuration, the connector had to be cut off and the wires had to be spliced or terminated as appropriate for connection to accessories or the electrical system wiring stubs. No pre-configured wiring pigtail was provided for 24V use. New Quik-Wire version electric strikes and accessories have a black, four-pin connector. Each electric strike package now contains 12V and/or 24V wiring pigtails and instructions for installation. A wiring diagram is also provided so wiring can be completed if the connector has been removed. Once the installer has selected the appropriate 12V or 24V wiring pigtail and connected it to the electrical system, the electric strike simply plugs into the pigtail connector. Quik-Wire electric strikes are plug-and-go. These changes are geared toward
