Functional Details

This device uses Electric Latch Retraction to electrically pull the latch bolt in, allowing the door to be released remotely or momentarily held in a retracted state for push/pull operation and automatic door operator coordination. When power is removed, the device returns to its secure latched condition while always permitting free mechanical egress from the inside.
