Prison Locks, Doors and Hardware

Operators - Cell Doors

Offers complete selective electric operation of sliding doors in a line or group from a remote control station.
Doors are operated by electric motors through a rack and pinion drive mechanism over each door.
System allows for emergency mechanical unlocking from a control cabinet at the head of the door line.
Doors are locked at top and bottom in both in both the open and closed positions by means of a concealed vertical lock bar at the rear jamb of each door, and the vertical lock bar is deadlocked at a third locking point inside the horizontal cover box above the door.
Standard clear door opening widths are from 2'4" to 3'2".
A remote switch activates a motor, which raises a vertical lock bar and propels the door open or closed.
Individual lamp indicators on the control panel show locked/unlocked condition.
Single switch provides group unlocking.
In the absence of electrical power, doors may be individually unlocked with a manual release tool.
Door movement is by hand and door will relock in either fully open or closed position.
In an emergency, all doors in a cell line may be simultaneously unlocked from a mechanical release cabinet at the end of the cell line.
Doors will not relock in any position while in emergency release mode.
Standard features include bottom door guide, door hanger, mechanical release cabinet, screwed on removable cover panel, slope-front cover box, and vertical lock bar assembly.
