Code-Compliant Release Of Electromagnetic Locks
ARTE™
Advanced Request-To-Exit

How Does It Work?

Moving the interior lever activates a switch or switches. This can release an electromagnetic lock, send a signal to an access control or alarm system or do both functions.
In addition, latch lock or cylindrical lock models provide positive latching to keep the door in place and meet fire code requirements.
