ABLOY EL420 Electromechanical Lock EN 179/1125 35/24 Single-Sided Access, Emergency

Product Overview

ABLOY EL420 electromechanical lock provides secure access control for profile doors, with automatic bolt engagement powered by an internal motor and spring mechanism. Compatible with single-sided access control installations in commercial and institutional buildings, it is certified to EN 179, EN 1125, EN 1634-1, EN 61000-6-1:2001, EN 61000-6-3:2001, and IMP class A?ensuring compliance with emergency exit and fire safety requirements.

Its built-in information signalling, including internal handle press detection, eliminates the need for a separate exit button and simplifies integration with access systems. This feature reduces wiring complexity and streamlines door monitoring, making the EL420 especially suited for bulk procurement in facilities requiring clear evacuation routes, such as offices, schools, and healthcare institutions.
