ABLOY EL560 Electric Lock Split Spindle 9/8mm EN1634-1 Fire Rated Single-Sided Access

Product Overview

ABLOY EL560 is an electric lock designed for internal steel doors, offering single-sided access control and compliant with emergency exit standards PN EN 179 and PN EN 1125. The lock interacts with handle-handle hardware and is suitable for fire-rated or standard doors in commercial and institutional environments. Multiple European certifications, including CE, EN1634-1 for fire resistance, and EN61000-6-1/EN61000-6-3 for electromagnetic compatibility, ensure reliable performance and legal compliance in safety-critical projects.

The most distinctive feature of the EL560 is its split spindle with system reduction (9/8 mm), maximizing compatibility with a wide range of handle sets and facilitating quick adaptation for left- or right-handed doors. This eliminates compatibility risks and simplifies installation for fit-out contractors handling diverse door configurations. The product is particularly well-suited for bulk procurement in office complexes, hospitals, or public-sector buildings requiring centralized access control and evacuation compliance.
