How it works
This mortise lock uses a mechanical split-spindle system so that from inside, turning the handle or pressing a linked panic bar retracts both latch and deadbolt simultaneously—even if locked—allowing immediate exit in emergencies. From outside, access requires a key when the deadbolt is engaged.[6][7]
