SDC S6303FH Series Electrified Architectural Mortise Frame Actuator Controlled Exit Device
The SDC Spectra™ S6303FH Series combines architectural mortise exit hardware with SDC's proven HiTower® frame actuator technology, providing a unique electrified access control solution without requiring an electric hinge or wiring through the door. Designed for fire-rated commercial and institutional openings, the S6303FH uses a solenoid-controlled frame actuator to control the mortise exit device while keeping all wiring within the door frame.
HiTower® technology eliminates the need for electrical wiring in the door, helping reduce installation complexity, parts, and labor while preserving the integrity of fire-rated door assemblies. The door remains latched even when electrically unlocked, supporting fire and life-safety requirements for applications such as office doors, corridor doors, lobby doors, exit doors, and stairwell doors.
The S6303FH features a modern architectural appearance, quiet push pad operation, durable stainless steel construction, and ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 performance. Its fire-rated mortise configuration provides dependable egress and access control for demanding, high-traffic environments.

HiTower® Frame Actuator Technology
The S6303FH incorporates SDC's HiTower® frame actuator, a patented technology that electrically controls the mortise exit device directly from the door frame.
Unlike conventional electrified exit devices that may require wiring through the door, the HiTower® design keeps the electrical wiring in the door frame. This eliminates the need for an electric hinge and avoids wiring through the door, helping simplify installation and reduce associated labor and component costs.
The mortise exit device remains mechanically latched even when electrically unlocked, making the S6303FH particularly suited to fire-rated doors and life-safety applications where maintaining the latched condition is important.
