Mortice releases are designed for use with mortice locks and latches, the mortice electric release is fitted in place of the normal strike plate on the timber or metal door frame. Generally suitable for inward or outward opening doors.
Selecting the most appropriate release depends on many different criteria and their relative importance in each application. In general the following aspects should be considered:
Door Type - Fitting to wood or metal door frames
Release Type - Match the release type to lock type (i.e. rim or mortice version)
Fail Locked - does it need to be locked all the time and only powered when necessary, when the power is power the release will be locked
Fail Unlocked - does it need to be in the open position and powered constantly to keep it locked, this is normally used for fire safety aspects
American Style mortice releases have an additional lip on the opening face which protects the recessed edge of the door frame. It provides a cleaner appearance and smoother operation and designed to be used with mortice latches.
