Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does "fail secure" mean for this electric drop bolt lock?
A: A fail secure lock (also called a Normally Open or NO lock) means the door remains locked when electrical power is lost or interrupted. This is the preferred mode for high-security areas such as server rooms or restricted zones, where you want the door to default to a locked state during a power outage.
Q: Can I unlock this electric deadbolt manually if power goes out?
A: Yes. The LUCKING DOOR B9L drop bolt lock includes a mechanical key override, allowing authorized personnel to unlock the door manually even when there is no power — ensuring you are never locked out in an emergency.
Q: How do I adjust the time delay on this lock?
A: The time delay can be set to 0, 3, or 6 seconds (adjustable between 0–6 seconds). This controls how long the bolt remains retracted after an unlock signal is received, giving users enough time to open the door before it automatically re-locks.
Q: What access control systems is this lock compatible with?
A: This 12V DC electric drop bolt lock is compatible with most standard access control systems, including keypad controllers, RFID card readers, biometric scanners, and exit button systems. Its door status signal output contact allows seamless integration with alarm panels and monitoring equipment.
Q: What is the working voltage and current for this lock?
A: The lock operates on DC 12V with a working current of 80 mA and a starting current of 1,300 mA (1.3A). Ensure your power supply is rated to handle the starting (inrush) current for reliable operation.
