Keyless Two-Way Locking

In pharmaceutical cleanrooms, hospital air-locks, and laboratory containment areas, personnel require rapid deadbolt locking from both sides without carrying contaminated physical keys.

Dual-Turnpiece Architecture

  • Thumbturns on Both Faces: Both interior and exterior sides feature solid brass thumbturn knobs.
  • Direct Drive: Rotating either turnpiece throws or retracts the deadbolt immediately.
  • Sizing Flexibility: Available in symmetrical and asymmetrical lengths up to 120 mm.
