Continuous Duty Electric strikes will last longer than typical strikes and are often used on doors that will be unlocked during certain hours and lock on a timer or doors that are being accessed and used all the time. If they are energized for several hours a day as unlocked you need continuous duty strikes and they do cost more but will last longer. Strikes have moving parts so they will wear out faster than a magnetic lock but when maglocks are used they have to a a request to exit motion or button or both.
