The Electric Latch Retraction system is a specialized access control solution designed for secure door management, often integrating with exit devicesto balance safety and egress. An exit device, also known as a panic bar, ensures quick, barrier-free exit during emergencies while restricting unauthorized entry. When paired with Electric Latch Retraction (ELR), the system gains advanced functionality—allowing the latch to retract electronically, enabling remote or timed door unlocking. This is particularly useful for fire safety compliance, automated access, or controlled entry scenarios. ELR ensures seamless operation, where the latch retracts when triggered (e.g., by a push button or access card), facilitating smooth egress without manual force. Together, these components optimize security, comply with building codes, and improve user convenience in commercial and institutional settings.
