ABLOY EL580 Handle Controlled Electric Lock

The ABLOY EL580 Scandinavian Solenoid Lock is a handle-controlled solenoid operated lockcase designed for use on solid doors where electronic access control or remote door release is required. The lock can be electrically controlled by an access control system, keypad, timer, push button or other suitable control device.

Designed for medium traffic doors, the EL580 provides controlled access for internal door applications where electronic access control is needed. The lock can be configured for fail-locked or fail-unlocked operation, allowing the electrical function to be selected to suit the application.

The EL580 is commonly used on internal doors in offices, storage rooms, maintenance rooms, commercial buildings, public buildings, education sites and healthcare environments. As a handle-controlled lock, it is not suitable for use with door automatics.
