ABLOY EL560 Electric Lock EN 179/1125 Split Spindle 12/24V Single-Sided Access Control

Product Overview

The ABLOY EL560 electric lock is designed for use on steel profile doors in commercial and institutional buildings, providing single-sided access control. It meets both EN 179 and EN 1125 emergency exit standards for panic and evacuation doors and operates on 12V or 24V DC, with selectable fail-locked (NC) or fail-unlocked (NO) operating modes. The lock is suitable for doors requiring frequent operation and monitoring under demanding security and safety requirements.

A distinguishing feature of the ABLOY EL560 is its split spindle mechanism with system reduction (9/8 mm), enabling intuitive and secure lever handle operation for panic or emergency egress. This specialized design helps facility managers and installers meet project requirements for anti-panic escape while also supporting integration with modern access control systems. The lock is ideal for bulk procurement by commercial contractors, security system integrators, or large public safety facility projects demanding certified egress solutions.
