Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does "fail secure" mean for this electric mortise drop bolt lock?
A: Fail secure means that when power is cut off, the lock remains in the locked (secured) position. This is the opposite of fail safe (which unlocks on power loss). For security-sensitive areas like offices or server rooms, fail secure ensures your door stays locked during a power outage.
Q: Is this electric drop bolt lock compatible with my existing access control system?
A: Yes. The lock operates at DC 12V (with 24VDC available on request) and provides NO, NC, and COM dry-contact signal outputs, making it compatible with most standard access control panels, keypads, card readers, and intercoms.
Q: Can I open the door manually if the power goes out?
A: Yes. The lock includes a mechanical key override, allowing authorized personnel to unlock the door manually regardless of power status.
Q: What door types are compatible with this mortise lock?
A: This lock is designed for wooden doors, metal doors, and PVC doors. Its magnetic induction sensing works with a door gap of up to 8 mm.
Q: How durable is the lock core?
A: The lock core is made from solid 304 stainless steel and is engineered to withstand up to 1,000 kg of impact force. The entire unit is rated for 500,000 operation cycles, ensuring long-term reliability in high-traffic environments.
