ABLOY EL560 55/20 Electric Lock Split Spindle One-Way Access Control EN 179/1125

Product Overview

The ABLOY EL560 55/20 is a robust electric lock for flush doors featuring a split spindle mechanism and supporting one-way access control. Commonly installed in commercial and institutional settings, it accommodates both lever/lever hardware configurations and provides an intuitive user experience. The lock is certified with CE marking and conforms to emergency exit standards PN EN 179 / PN EN 1125, ensuring suitability for use on fire-rated and non-fire-rated doors. Multiple international standards, including EN1634-1 fire resistance and EN61000-6-1 EMC, are met.

A distinguishing feature of the EL560 is its dual-mode operation (Fail Safe/Fail Secure, NC/NO), selectable during installation, which allows integration with both security systems and evacuation requirements. This flexibility significantly reduces project risk for installers serving facilities with mixed fire and evacuation zones. Facility managers, security integrators, and contractors seeking compliance for access-controlled emergency exits will find this lock well-suited for high-occupancy commercial and public buildings.
