The normal method of controlling a door is to use a reader. The reader has a call button and the person answering the call can also release the door.

If this is something that is occurring when no one is there to answer the call, then you could install a keypad and wire the contacts in parallel with the ESI reader's relay contacts. It doesn't matter to the door strike where it gets it's voltage.
