Electromechanical latching uses an electronic signal to actuate the latch mechanism directly, providing the capabilityies of electronic latching and electronic locking in the same device. This delivers the combined benefits of control, convenience, safety, and security all in a self-contained unit.

The ability to function with signals from a wide variety of electronic sources lets users implement an access control method that works best in applications ranging from a simple glove box latch, to a heavy industrial enclosure, or sophisticated computer room security application.

Using an electronic signal to manage user access, and to power the mechanical action that opens or closes the latch, enhances access control security and user convenience at the same time. Versatility in how you generate that electronic signal enables you to provide the degree of security that suits your application � including taking advantage of the inherent sophistication of an existing building access security system, if desired.
