Electrically locking panic locks for timber and steel doors
With our electrically locking panic locks for single-leaf timber and steel doors, the installation of additional locking elements is not required. The combination of a self-locking panic lock and an electric escape door locking device provides a compact solution, offering significant planning and time savings for architects and fabricators.
The EVP lock features standard DIN lock case dimensions and can therefore be retrofitted at any time. Additional milling in the door leaf or frame above the strike plate is not necessary.
The integrated automatic latchbolt ensures that the door is always locked—manual locking is not required. By positioning the holding point of the electric locking device in the area of the strike plate, it is located centrally in the door, thus preventing warping of the door leaf.
