Electro-Mechanical Locks

A reliable electromechanical lock or latch is critical to the overall quality of any electronic access solution. The EML design influences system electrical requirements, physical security, ease of installation and operation, and the industrial design of the end product. Simply put, it's the heart of the system.

Efficient Electro-Mechanics - A more efficient SOUTHCO gear motor drive uses less power and provides higher load capability than solenoid driven solutions. Built-in Intelligence - Versatile electronic control signal options easily interface with existing access control systems. Secure Locking and Latching - Heavy-duty versions provide high ultimate load with vandal-resistant performance. Mechanical Override Options - Latches can also be equipped with a separate manually operated mechanical override feature. Latch Status Monitoring - SOUTHCO EML solutions incorporate sensors and output signals for monitoring the status of the latch.
