Escape Mortise Lock EN72EL

Product Description

Our 72 series mortise locks are designed for high-frequency use and potential misuse applications, meeting the requirements of EN 12209 Grade 3. This CE marked euro profile mortise sash lock features 72mm centres and is designed as a reliable DIN style mortise lockcase for commercial and public building applications.

Manufactured from high-quality materials, the lock delivers dependable strength, stable operation, and long service life. It is suitable for timber and steel fire-rated doors, making it ideal for shopping centres, hospitals, schools, airports, and office buildings.

The lever handle operates the latchbolt, while the euro profile cylinder operates both the latchbolt and deadbolt. The reversible latchbolt allows easy handing for left-hand and right-hand doors, helping simplify installation and reduce inventory requirements.

The EN 12209 Escape Mortise Lock is a reliable euro profile escape mortise lock designed for classroom doors, office doors, corridor doors, apartment entrance doors, healthcare doors, and other commercial building applications requiring controlled entry and permanent free egress. The inside lever always remains active for single-action escape and immediate exit, while the outside lever is controlled by key and euro profile cylinder for secure access control. A key advantage of this commercial mortise lock is its field-configurable design: the latchbolt can be easily reversed for left-hand or right-hand doors, and the escape function can also be switched during installation, giving installers greater flexibility, faster setup, and reduced inventory complexity.
