The Sentry E. Labs Fail-Secure Electric Drop Bolt Lock is an electronic locking system designed for commercial entry, exit, panic, and emergency exit doors. Its fail-secure, power-to-unlock design keeps the bolt locked when electrical power is unavailable and unlocks it when power is applied through an activation device. The lock features a built-in release delay, allowing it to operate as a standalone locking system without requiring an additional timing relay or control unit. It can function as a deadbolt on the side of a door or as a top or bottom latch on double doors.
The electric drop bolt operates using a normally open dry contact from a compatible activation device, such as a keypad, card reader, push button, or switched handle. Its built-in magnetic sensor detects when the door opens and keeps the bolt disengaged until the door closes and the magnet realigns with the sensor. The lock features a solid 13.5 mm bolt, a magnetic core designed to resist tampering with a metal-cutting saw, and an optional EURO cylinder key release for manual operation during power failures. It supports vertical or horizontal flush installation, features automatic power regulation, and has been tested for up to 500,000 uses.
