Opening the wicket (electro-catch) with the button to the outside

Best answers

How do I add a hidden outdoor pushbutton to open a gate electric strike from the garden with an ORNO OR-031 video intercom?

Connect a weatherproof pushbutton in parallel with the existing gate-release button and run it to the hidden location with suitable cable [#11216579] On the ORNO OR-031, the opening output is only a fixed 5-second pulse and the intercom does not provide a simple power output to tap, so modifying the video intercom itself is not the right approach [#11220055][#11221601] If you have spare conductors, use them to bring the control to the new button, or power the electric strike from a separate transformer and let the button simply make/break that impulse [#11219188][#14615529] If the strike cannot be driven reliably that way, use a relay or a ready-made timing board to extend/control the unlock pulse [#11221601]

    You need to run a ground cable with a suitable cross-section from the intercom to the designated place.

    Maybe write what you have intercom, brand, type, manufacturer.

    Use the appropriate button that will be resistant to climatic conditions.
    Connect it in parallel to the existing button.

    You need to use some wireless bell set. The "Melody" should control the transmitter and you can have the remote control in your pocket.
    such a set requires some modifications ...
    "Avoids" digging pits, ditches and laying cables.
    The solution - in which the transmitter system / from the battery / is located in the surface-mounted housing of the bell button, works with the receiver that activates the latch and has been operating for several years.
    The 12V battery withstood the frosts it used to be - but the electronics in the button were damaged by a storm / a close discharge in a metal fence /.

    It is easier to use a timer that will extend the time of activating the electric strike or activate it for a few (several) seconds, but with a certain delay that will allow you to reach the gate.

    Only the memory lock remains.

    This is the most sensible way out.

    I mated a leroy merlin combination lock for about 100 zlotys and it works very well. There are three relays inside and you can assign a code to each. I used two for the gate so that there were two passwords and the third for the gate so that it could be opened from the keyboard. In this lock, it is also possible, by closing the contact, to open the relay for a predetermined time, and thus it is triggered at home and from an additional button in the gate remote control.

    It is impossible to deal with this "bell" here.

    If the wicket is connected to 12V and an electric strike connected in the panel at the gate, what's the problem? You take out 12V, put it on a microswitch or other switch and open it when you want, even when you come back after a drunk night and your wife doesn't feel like getting up and "serving"

    1-I don't know the electrical system of this set
    2-all is under warranty
    3-a lot has been written on the forum about this device. The opening PULSE time is constant and only 5 seconds.

    The whole of this video intercom is in a coherently closed state and it is rather impossible to interfere with the details of this whole unit.
    The only thing that is available are two contacts from the tap cable. One is on the ground / surely / and the other has an opening impulse for these 5 seconds.

    And what does the accessibility of the opening contact look like? And how often do you have to press "open" on "video" to open each time?

    I am modernizing the "receiver" system in such a way that:
    -I choose a quite dense melody, I put it on the npn transistor / via R / a trans.
    it has a mini relay in its circuit, and I connect its contact to this switching catch.
    -supply of the "receiver" I choose the 4-sticks mini, in order to power it, for example, with some simple "cell" power supply.

    Welcome
    I forgot the password for that account, so I did it in such a way that I installed a separate transformer in the house and connected it to the other two wires that were pulled to the gate.
    The electric strike is powered by a separate power supply and the button is connected to one wire to make and break the impulse. So simple and so practical! I recommend such a patent, it is still useful :D

    How can I recover the password from an account that was created later than the one in the first post in the thread?

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around connecting a button to an electric strike for a gate, allowing it to be opened from inside the garden without needing keys. Users suggest various solutions, including running a ground cable from the intercom to the button, using a wireless bell system to avoid digging trenches, and employing a timer to extend the activation time of the electric strike. The intercom model mentioned is from ORNO (model OR-031). Some participants propose using a separate power supply for the electric strike and connecting it to a switch to create a simple and practical solution. Concerns about the limitations of the existing intercom system and the need for additional wiring are also discussed.

FAQ

TL;DR: Add a hidden release by wiring two spare cores and a weather-proof pushbutton in parallel—"Connect it in parallel to the existing button"[Elektroda, kizek, post #11216579] Factory OR-031 pulse lasts 5 s[Elektroda, KaW, post #11219561]

Why it matters: A second button stops the 5-second timeout from locking you out while still keeping the intercom warranty intact.

Quick Facts

• ORNO OR-031 strike output: 12 V, 5 s fixed pulse [Elektroda, KaW, post #11219561] • Recommended cable: 2 × 0.5 mm² Cu for ≤15 m runs ["Generic Intercom Guide", 2022] • IP65 stainless pushbutton price: approx. 20–40 PLN [Allegro PL, 2023] • Separate 12 V/1 A DIN transformer: approx. 30–60 PLN [Eltrox Catalogue, 2023] • Storm-induced surge can destroy button electronics [Elektroda, KaW, post #11216595]

How do I wire a second gate-release button to the OR-031?

Locate the two wires that fire the strike, add a normally-open IP-rated pushbutton, and join the new leads to the same terminals as the indoor release. This places both switches in parallel, so either one energises the strike[Elektroda, kizek, post #11216579]

Which cable size and type should I run outside?

Use 2 × 0.5 mm² copper telecom or alarm cable for runs up to 15 m; thicker 2 × 0.75 mm² reduces voltage drop on longer lines["Generic Intercom Guide", 2022].

Does the OR-031 supply power or only a control pulse?

The handset sends only a 5-second 12 V pulse; continuous power is absent[Elektroda, Bronek22, post #11220055] You can therefore add a separate 12 V source if longer activation is needed.

Can I add a wireless remote without digging?

Yes. Pair a battery-powered 433 MHz bell-push with a relay receiver. Wire the relay contacts across the strike leads; the radio link replaces cabling[Elektroda, KaW, post #11216595]

Will a delay timer fix the short opening window?

A timer can extend strike activation to 10–30 s. Install it between the handset output and strike coil[Elektroda, kursant, post #11216615] Ensure timer contacts are rated ≥1 A at 12 V AC.

What is a memory electric strike?

A memory strike unlocks with a short pulse and stays open until the gate is pulled. This bypasses the 5-second limit and suits slow approaches[Elektroda, Bronek22, post #11216824]

How do I add a separate 12 V transformer safely?

Mount a DIN-rail 12 V/1 A transformer indoors, fuse its primary, and route two spare cores to the strike. Break the positive lead with your outdoor button so the coil sees power only when pressed[Elektroda, mateusz0081, post #14615529]

Which outdoor button lasts longest?

Choose an IP65 stainless-steel momentary switch rated ≥2 A, tested for −20 °C to +60 °C, and with neoprene seal. Cost averages 20–40 PLN[Allegro PL, 2023].

What failures should I expect?

Edge case: lightning surges travelling through a metal fence destroyed the bell electronics after one storm[Elektroda, KaW, post #11216595] Add surge arrestors or ground the fence to mitigate risk.

Will adding my own wiring void the warranty?

Connecting a parallel switch on existing terminals usually keeps warranty, but opening the sealed handset to modify circuits voids it[Elektroda, KaW, post #11219561]

How much current does a typical 12 V strike draw?

Most AC strikes consume 400–600 mA at 12 V[Assa Abloy Datasheet, 2023], so size your transformer and wiring accordingly.

Quick 3-step how-to for the parallel button

  1. Isolate power. 2. Crimp two new leads onto handset strike terminals. 3. Route leads to gatepost and attach to momentary IP-rated button. Restore power and test—gate should open from either button.
