The Asec Release collection offers a comprehensive range of electric releases (also known as electronic strike plates) designed to provide secure, convenient remote door access control. Built by Asec - a trade-focused brand established in 2003 to deliver high-quality, reliable everyday security hardware - this collection replaces standard mechanical strike plates to integrate seamlessly with your access control systems.
This versatile range includes:
- Mortice Releases: Ideal for flush-fit installations on timber or metal doors, including ANSI-style and deep-jaw models.
- Rim & Surface Releases: Perfect for outward-opening doors or surface-mounted applications.
- Accessories: Including replacement faceplates and extension lips to ensure a perfect fit.
With options featuring adjustable jaws, delayed action, hold-open functions, and dual-monitoring, as well as both fail-locked (fail-secure) and fail-unlocked (fail-safe) configurations, the Asec range provides dependable, trade-tested solutions for any commercial or residential access setup.

Asec
ASEC is a trade-focused security hardware brand built around the “everyday kit” locksmiths and installers reach for, with a big emphasis on breadth, availability, and value rather than boutique-only spec pieces. The brand was established in 2003 and was created specifically to support independent retailers and security professionals with products that “would never become available through the large multiple retailers.”
Where ASEC gets especially interesting (and why it tends to become a “default stock brand”) is the scale of the range:
-
ASEC positions itself as having a portfolio of 2,000+ individual products, described as one of the largest ranges under a single security brand name in the industry.
-
Coverage is intentionally broad across the core trade categories: Access Control, Architectural Hardware, Key Cutting, Locking Products, UPVC, Tools & Accessories.
ASEC is exclusive to Aldridge Security (whom we distribute) in the UK trade ecosystem (Aldridge explicitly calls itself the exclusive distributor of ASEC Security Products worldwide). That exclusivity is a big part of the brand’s identity: it keeps the range aimed at the trade channel rather than getting diluted into mass retail.
