How it works
This motorized lock retracts the deadbolt via an electric command from an access system or remote control. When the door closes, the mechanism automatically extends the deadbolt ensuring full security. The inside handle mechanically releases the lock at any time. A mechanical cylinder provides manual override if needed.
