Strikes and Doors.

Ok so I spent the weekend cutting holes into my doors (and door frames). Â I have wired up the front door and garage door now, including the the RTE buttons. Â All that remains now is for my alarm panel modules and readers to get here. Â Once they arrive I can install them to finish off the job *yay*.
For the front door I used a Padde ES200 strike lock.  I don’t need sensors or the like so this will do the trick just nicely.  For the garage  door I purchased a PGS-701B (for use with a deadbolt).  The only problem here was that the deadbolt I happened to have in my door had a 25mm throw and was to thick for the strike lock. 🙁  So I was on the phone to a few locksmiths and managed to find a place in Balcatta who was extremely helpful (http://www.actionlock.com.au/).
So after I replaced that and hacked up my doors I ran the cable, puttied/filled the holes and wired it up to a 12Volt battery backed PSU. Â It is currently wired so that you can open the door with a flick of the RTE.
Mad Props to Welvis for helping source bits etc.
