Sargent Energy-Efficient Lock

Life just got a whole lot easier, well at least when it comes to lock technology, thanks to the 8200 electrified mortise lock from Sargent / ASSA ABLOY. This new lock features what is called Ecoflex technology, and it is said to dramatically reduce energy consumption, resulting in lower operating costs and fewer power supplies. In addition, the company offers a reliable, flexible and versatile locking solution with a common lock for 12-24V applications that can easily be field configured to fail-safe or fail-secure operation. Now I’m talking certified energy reduction of 96%, wow! I also like Sargent’s ElectroLynx plug-in connector system that allows installers to quickly and easily connect the firm’s electromechanical locks with CECO and Graham doors & frames, McKINNEY hinges and other ASSA ABLOY products. Anything that can help for easy installation is a big plus in my book. — Dolph
