Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a fail safe electric bolt lock and how does it work?
A: A fail safe electric bolt lock (also known as an NC or Normally Closed model) keeps the bolt engaged and the door locked while power is supplied. When power is cut — either intentionally via access control or in an emergency power outage — the bolt retracts and the door unlocks automatically, allowing free egress. This is the required mode for most fire-rated and life-safety door applications.
Q: What does the feedback signal wire do on this 5-wire lock?
A: The feedback signal wire sends a real-time status signal back to your access control panel or alarm system, indicating whether the door bolt is currently in the locked or unlocked position. This allows your system to monitor door status, trigger alerts for forced entry, and log access events accurately.
Q: Is this electric bolt lock compatible with wooden doors?
A: Yes. The Asia-Teco B1L is specifically designed to work with both wooden and metal doors. Its compact aluminium alloy housing (160 × 39 × 24 mm) makes it easy to install as a surface-mounted mortise lock on a wide variety of door types and frame materials.
Q: Can I adjust the unlock time delay on this lock?
A: Absolutely. The B1L offers three selectable time delay settings — 0 seconds (instant unlock), 3 seconds, or 6 seconds — so you can fine-tune the door release timing to match your access control workflow or security requirements.
