Electric Latch Retraction (ELR)

Since 2012, when SDC launched QuietDuo™ – the first Motorized ELR Kits to convert mechanical exit devices – we’ve been “quietly” leading in electric latch retraction (ELR) upgrades for access control. This includes retrofit solutions for most brands of exit devices as well as innovative SDC exit devices & mortise locksets with factory-installed ELR and automatic door operators with a built-in 1 Amp+ power supply to power them. Discover the transformative potential of electric latch retraction technology in revolutionizing security systems and enhancing protection.

Enhancing Security with Electric Latch Retraction 

Electric latch retraction (ELR) technology has the power to greatly enhance security systems, providing improved protection and peace of mind. By utilizing motorized technology for retraction and dogging, security systems can be made more efficient and effective. The electrified latch retraction feature for exit devices and mortise locksets allows for quick and quiet operation, ensuring smooth and seamless access. With electric latch retraction, security systems can be easily controlled and monitored, providing enhanced security measures for both residential and commercial properties.

In addition to improving security, electric latch retraction technology also offers convenience and ease of use. With motorized technology, users can easily retract latches and operate locksets, without the need for manual effort. This can be particularly beneficial in areas where quick access is required. Motorized ELR simplifies the process of securing and accessing a space, making it a valuable addition to any security system.

Overall, the use of electric motor technology in security systems offers numerous advantages. From enhancing security measures to providing convenience and ease of use, electric latch retraction technology is revolutionizing the way we protect our properties. 

Retrofitting Existing Security Systems

One of the major benefits of electric latch retraction is its compatibility with existing access control and security system devices. This means that businesses and facility managers can easily retrofit their current access control and security devices with electric latch retraction technology, without the need for a complete overhaul. Retrofitting offers a cost-effective solution for upgrading security measures and enhancing protection.

Retrofitting is a relatively simple process that can be carried out by security professionals. It involves integrating electric latch retraction into the existing hardware, such as exit devices and mortise locksets. The retrofit solutions are designed to be compatible with a wide range of brands, making it accessible for businesses and facility managers with different security system setups.
