How it works
The EL466 unlocks its outside handle electrically when authorized via an access control system. Engaging the handle retracts all locking points simultaneously. The inside handle always opens mechanically, supporting safe egress even during power outages or emergencies. Monitoring contacts can relay status information to building management systems.
