operated mechanically by builders
hardware key cylinder. These locks offer
the convenience of remote, electric
unlocking or locking and automatic
deadlocking when the door is closed.
Non-Fail-Safe Models
Unlock when solenoid is energized
(1): by a momentary-contact switch.
Latchbolt remains retracted
mechanically until the door is opened.
Upon opening the door the latchbolt
extends. The latchbolt is deadlocked
mechanically when the door is closed.
Unlock when solenoid is energized
(2): by a momentary-contact switch.
Latchbolt is electrically held retracted as
long as control switch is tripped. (No
mechanical latchback). The door must
be opened while control switch is in
the unlocked position. The latchbolt is
deadlocked when the door is closed.
A maintained-contact switch will hold
the lock unlocked until the switch
is released.
