MORX Frameless Glass Door Bolt Lock, Fail Safe

Overview

The MORX Frameless Glass Door Bolt Lock is an electric bolt that clamps onto a frameless glass door, with a matching strike box on the opposite glass leaf or fixed panel, so there is no frame to drill. It locks while powered at 12 V DC (fail-safe), has an oval key cylinder for unlocking in a power cut or emergency, and relocks itself if the door is not opened within 5 seconds. It suits frameless glass office entrances, cabins and showroom doors.

Is it right for you?

• Suits frameless glass doors where a drop bolt or electromagnetic (EM) lock has nothing to fix to.
• Suits doors that must unlock in a power cut (fail-safe), with the key cylinder as a manual way in.
• Suits a simple exit button wired straight to the lock, since it has its own push-button input.
• If the door has a top frame, the MORX frame-mounted drop bolt is the alternative.

Key features

• Fail-safe: power to lock, so the door releases when power is cut.
• 12 V DC, with a start current of 900 mA and a standby current of 150 mA.
• Oval key cylinder for emergency or power-cut unlocking.
• Built-in photocoupler input for a door-open push button, so an exit button connects directly to the lock.
• Relocks automatically if the door is not opened within 5 seconds.
• Stainless steel lock body of 145 x 42 x 38 mm and strike box of 146 x 43 x 24 mm.

What else you need

• A regulated 12 V DC supply sized for the 900 mA start current, such as the MORX Box+SMPS (12 V, 3.5 A).
• An access controller or standalone reader to release it, and an exit button such as the MORX MS-1 on the push-button input.

Installation

A glass door installer or access control installer should fit it. Both units clamp onto the glass, so the glass must be in good condition and the lock body and strike box must line up closely. Plan the cable route to the lock body before fixing, then wire the supply, the controller output and the exit button.

Before you buy

• Size the supply for the 900 mA start current.
• Fail-safe only: the door is unlocked whenever power is lost, with the key cylinder for manual locking and unlocking.
• Check that both the door leaf and the opposite leaf or panel are glass the lock and strike box can clamp onto.
