What the EL560 is designed to do
EL560 combines controlled entry from the outside with mechanical egress from the inside. Access control devices such as readers, timers, keypads or push buttons can release the outside handle.
Mechanical egress
The inside handle remains mechanically operable for a clear exit function.
Cylinder override
Mechanical opening by a compatible cylinder remains possible.
Application and selection boundaries
The lock is intended for solid doors and medium-traffic applications. ABLOY documentation states that compatible configurations can be used for emergency, panic and fire-rated doors, subject to complete system approval. It is not suitable for door automation.
Typical directions
- Commercial and public-building internal doors
- Access-controlled doors with mechanical egress
- Compatible emergency or fire-door configurations after verification
Confirm before ordering
- Door preparation, backset and centre distance
- Power, fail state and control interface
