      What is an Electrified Lockset?

      Fail Safe vs. Fail Secure

       There are two basic types of electrified locks from a safety standpoint: Fail Safe and Fail Secure.

      • Fail safe locks can be opened for exiting when power is not on
        • Ex. Magnetic Locks or Electrified Panic Hardware
      • Fail secure locks cannot be opened for exiting when power is off.
        • Ex. Electrified Mortise Locks or Electrified Cylinder Locks / Deadbolts
