SDC Z7500 Series Solenoid Frame Actuator Controlled Mortise Lock - 626 Dull Chrome

SDC 7500 Series HiTower® Solenoid Frame Actuator Controlled Mortise Locks

SDC’s HiTower® 7500 Series Solenoid Frame Actuator Controlled Mortise Locks provide a proven electrified locking solution for commercial, institutional, and high-traffic applications where dependable access control, fire-life-safety compliance, and clean installation are essential. Building on SDC’s original patented frame-actuator technology, the 7500 Series controls a modified mechanical mortise lock using an electric actuator mounted in the door frame.

Because the electrical components and wiring are contained entirely within the door frame, HiTower® locks eliminate the need for electric hinges and wiring through the door. This simplifies installation, reduces components and labor, and helps maintain the fire rating of fire-rated doors without requiring the door to be factory-prepped for electrical wiring.

HiTower® 7500 Series locks are designed for fire-rated office doors, corridor doors, lobby doors, exit doors, and stairwell doors. The heavy-duty mortise lock design provides reliable mechanical locking, while the solenoid frame actuator delivers hardwired access control without exposed electrical connections in the door.
