GK760 / GK770 Electric Release Lock

The GK760 and GK770 Electric Release Locks are versatile electric strikes 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, they provide reliable remote door release whilst maintaining secure access control.

An electric strike, also known as a 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 in both wood and metal door frames, the GK760 and GK770 feature selectable fail-safe or fail-secure operation and long-life solenoid technology. The GK760 monitored version additionally provides a door status output for integration with compatible access control and monitoring systems, while the GK770 is the unmonitored version. Both models are suitable for use with DIN standard lockcases, making them ideal for a wide range of commercial door security applications.
