ABLOY EL402 Electromechanical Mortice Lock

The ABLOY EL402 Solenoid Mortice Lock is an electromechanical locking solution designed for suitable narrow style doors where electronic access control or remote door release is required. It provides a cost-effective electric locking option for applications such as offices, storage rooms, consulting rooms, educational buildings and commercial premises.

The EL402 includes a special double action bolt for quick and convenient push or pull operation. The symmetrical trigger bolt allows the lock to be used on double swing doors, while the adjustable backset provides flexibility for a range of narrow style door applications.

The lock can be controlled by a variety of electrical impulse generating devices, including access control systems, card readers, keypads, timers and suitable remote-control equipment. Mechanical opening by key or thumbturn is always possible, and the bolt deadlocks automatically when the door closes.
