Fire doors come with a lock prepared for a cylinder. When a door also needs access control – locking out of hours, opening by card or push button – we supply electric and electromechanical locks and cylinders, chosen together with the door.
Electric lock – opened by impulse (push button, card reader, timer)
Electromechanical lock
Combined with a panic handle or bar
Cylinders with keys, security cylinders
How to choose
Only a lock approved by the door manufacturer may be fitted to a fire door – so we choose the lock together with the door, not afterwards. With an electric lock it matters what happens without power: on an escape route the exit must stay free, so the electric lock is combined with panic hardware that always opens from the inside.
Retrofitting
Existing doors
Only hardware approved by the door manufacturer may be fitted to an existing fire door. Send us a photo of the door and the label details and we will check what can be fitted.

Frequently asked questions
How is an electric lock opened?
By an impulse – from a push button, card reader, intercom or timer. The devices that give the impulse are not part of the lock, so we match them to your access control system or supply them separately.
What happens to an electric lock in a power cut?
It depends on the version. The electric lock we most often supply with fire doors stays locked without power, and the emergency exit is ensured by a panic handle or bar that always opens from the inside.
Can I add an electric lock to an existing fire door?
Only if the door manufacturer has approved such a lock for that door. Send us a photo of the door and the label details and we will check the options.
Other hardware
Panic hardware
Panic handles and push bars for escape routes – also for retrofitting existing doors.
