GEM EB300FR Fire-Rated Surface Mount Electric Solenoid Bolt

This is the fire-rated version of the GEM EB300 surface mounted electric bolt lock.   It features all the same benefits of the standard GEM EB300 bolt lock, but with the addition of having been tested under BS EN 1634 fire testing scheme for its 60 minute fire rating.   This means it can be fitted on FD30 / FD60 30-60 minute fire doors by a competent installer with sufficient understanding of fire doors and the requirements involved with fitting hardware to them.

One of the reasons the EB300 is such a popular choice is its ability to be surface-mounted, whilst not being bulky.  In addition to this, the lock features electronic monitoring outputs which you can wire up to indicator lights, buzzers, or a monitoring hub to allow you to keep an eye on whether the door is locked or unlocked.   This is classified as 'true' monitoring too, as it relies on the pickup of the reed sensor which is triggered by magnetism created between the lock and the keep.  So there are no false-positives here where the output may show it's locked even though the door may not necessarily be closed.  So no worries in that respect.

Running on 12v DC, these are a fail-safe solution.  This means in the event of power failure occupants would not be locked inside due to the access control system going down without power.  It does however mean that free entry would also be possible.  So it is always advised with a fail-safe solution to go for a power supply with a battery backup facility to tie you over until the power is back online.  We offer this in the list of options to buy with this solenoid bolt lock.

One of the distinct pointers that should not be overlooked on this, is the full 16mm bolt throw.  This is above average on a solenoid bolt and achieves the same projection of most 5 lever deadlocks out there.  This gives a good measure as a comparison, and certainly puts this model above others in that respect.  The bolt is also 16mm thick, which is a substantial size too.
