Automated Lock Operation

If you need full remote door operation combined with access control to provide both entry and exit for a security door, Surelock McGill can supply single or multi-point locking solutions and automatic door operators that are interoperable with most commercially available access control systems.

These systems can:

Provide controlled entry and exit through a high-security door
Incorporate life-safety emergency or panic exit solutions
Include fail safe and secure functionality for the event of power failure, remaining secure on the exterior (with key override access) whilst allowing emergency exit from the interior

A variety of exit options are available, including panic to BS EN 1125 and emergency exit to BS EN 179. Additionally, we offer key access and a breakdome over thumbturn with a lever handle.

Automatic Door Operators (ADOs)

ADOs are available to provide automation for doors and particularly for entrance doors, building circulation paths, and escape routes. Surelock McGill ADOs are suitable for various weights and door sizes. These are ideal for integration with our electromechanical locks and can provide automated operation for secured entrances or internal security doors.

Siege Protection

An additional feature we offer is to prevent access control entry, even when the correct code is entered. Our internal “Siege Protection” feature ensures you can maintain a safe, controlled exit whilst stopping anyone else from gaining entry. This can be used in the event of a threat where an access card or PIN has fallen into the wrong hands.

Time-Delayed Exit

There has been a trend of retail attacks using escape doors to “grab and run” with high-value goods. Surelock McGill provides an emergency exit solution to combat this. The time-delayed exit includes a pre-set delay period prior to release, controlling exit from the building through escape doors. The unit interfaces with the fire alarm system and reverts to a standard emergency exit if the fire alarm is activated.

Controlled Entry & Exit – Failing Safe & Secure

What happens if the power fails when someone is in a secure area or an airlock controlled by an access control system? With some systems, you may become trapped, whilst in others, the security system may be disabled, allowing anyone to enter. With the Surelock McGill “Safe & Secure” multi-point lock, you can control entry and exit via access control. This provides a full audit trail of entry and exit activity. In the event of power failure, you can always exit but will require a key to gain entry.
