VERTICAL DEADBOLT CONTROL
Easy Single-Point To Multi-Point Conversion
VC Option
How Does It Work?
The VC Option consists of a modified Securitech automated deadbolt multi-point mechanism and a surface-mounted housing with a sliding lever on the interior of the door. When the lever is up, the lever functions as a single point lockset. Sliding the lever downward (when the door is closed) instantly projects the top and bottom deadbolts. These deadbolts will continue to project each time the door closes until the lever is slid back up, at which time the lock will operate in single-point mode.

SEVERE WINDSTORM DOOR APPLICATION
Many severe windstorm doors are also high-traffic doors. Constant multi-point locking is not required or desired. The Vertical Deadbolt Control would be used during an emergency to provide multi-point protection.
SAFE ROOM APPLICATION
Safe rooms are frequently used for other purposes. The lever would be depressed during an emergency. At all other times the single-point locking is sufficient.
Sliding the lever downward instantly shoots out the top & bottom deadbolts

ORDERING INFORMATION: Must Be Ordered As An Option With Lockset. Conversion In Future Would Require New Lock Mechanism.
EMPLOYEE ENTRANCE DOOR APPLICATION
Employee entrance doors also serve as emergency exits. The Vertical Deadbolt Control allows single-point operation during high usage periods and simple conversion to multi-point protection for nights and weekends.
