Key Capabilities
Designed for Narrow Stile Doors
The 23mm short backset design allows the lock to be installed in narrow aluminium or steel door frames where standard mortice locks are too large. This makes it particularly suitable for commercial storefronts, office entrances and other aluminium door systems.
Flexible Electric Lock Operation
The lock can be configured in the field for power-to-lock or power-to-open operation. This flexibility allows installers to match the lock behaviour with building safety requirements or access control system configurations without changing hardware.
Comprehensive Monitoring Outputs
Integrated monitoring signals allow the access control system to track door status, deadlatch condition, request-to-exit events and lock engagement. This helps improve security system awareness and provides valuable information for door management.
Multi-Voltage Compatibility
The lock supports a wide operating voltage range from 9VDC to 28VDC, enabling it to integrate with a variety of electronic access control systems and power supplies commonly used in commercial installations.
Motor-Driven Efficiency
The motor-driven design allows the lock to operate efficiently with reduced power consumption in certain configurations while maintaining reliable locking performance for everyday use.

FAQs
- What makes the 3782ELSS suitable for narrow doors?
The 3782ELSS features a 23mm short backset specifically designed for narrow stile door frames such as aluminium commercial doors. Standard mortice locks are usually too large for these doors, so the slimline design allows installers to fit an electric locking solution without modifying the door frame. - What does power-to-lock and power-to-open mean?
Power-to-lock means the lock remains unlocked until electrical power is applied, while power-to-open means the lock remains locked until power is applied to release it. The 3782ELSS can be configured to operate in either mode depending on the security requirements of the installation. - Can this lock be integrated with an access control system?
Yes. The 3782ELSS is designed for use with electronic access control systems and can be operated by push buttons, intercoms, key switches, card readers and keypad entry systems. This allows authorised users to unlock the door electronically while maintaining secure mechanical locking when not activated.
