FAQs

1. What does SCEC approval mean for this lock?
   SCEC approval indicates that the lock meets strict security requirements for use in secure government or high-security environments. Products with this endorsement are typically specified for secure areas where strong physical security and reliable locking performance are required.
2. What does a monitored electric mortice lock do?
   A monitored electric mortice lock provides feedback signals that tell the access control system what is happening at the door. This may include whether the lock is engaged, whether the door is closed and whether a request to exit has been triggered. These signals help security systems detect issues such as doors not fully closing or unauthorised access attempts.
3. Can this lock work with access control systems?
   Yes. The 3579ELM0SC is designed to integrate with access control equipment such as card readers, keypads, push buttons and intercom systems. When connected to a controller, it allows doors to be securely locked while still enabling authorised users to gain access electronically.
