FAQs

1. What does SCEC endorsement mean for this lock?
   SCEC endorsement indicates that the lock has been approved for use in secure area applications where higher levels of security are required. Products meeting these standards are typically specified for government, defence or other high-security facilities that must meet strict access control and hardware requirements.
2. What does a monitored electric mortice lock provide?
   A monitored electric mortice lock provides status signals that report what is happening at the door. These signals can indicate whether the door is closed, whether the lock is engaged, whether a key override has been used or whether a request-to-exit has been triggered. This information helps security systems track door activity and respond to security events more effectively.
3. Can this lock be integrated with an access control system?
   Yes. The lock is designed to integrate with electronic access control systems such as card readers, intercom systems, keypads and push button release devices. When connected to an access controller, it allows authorised users to unlock the door electronically while maintaining strong mechanical locking security.
