GK310LS / GK310MLS Electric Release Lock (ANSI-Style Electric Strike)
The GK310 Series Electric Release Lock is a versatile ANSI-style electric strike designed for use with access control systems, door entry systems, intercoms, and electronic locking applications. Suitable for commercial, industrial, educational, healthcare, and public sector environments, it provides reliable remote door release whilst maintaining secure access control.
An electric strike, also known as an electric release or latch release, is installed within the door frame and operates in conjunction with a compatible lock or latch. When activated, the strike releases the latch, allowing the door to be opened remotely without manual unlocking. Once the door closes, the latch automatically re-engages to restore security.
Designed for installation flexibility, the GK310 features selectable fail-safe or fail-secure operation and is supplied with both long and short faceplates to suit different frame configurations. Its ANSI-style design makes it suitable for a wide range of commercial door locking applications, while the GK310MLS monitored versions additionally provide door status output for compatible access control and monitoring systems.
