Electromechanical locks come in two main styles, electric strikes and drop bolts.

Electric Strikes work with the existing door hardware and mean you can always get out by turning the snib on the inside.

Drop Bolts are good where it is desired not to see any door hardware, the lock is also better protected from tapmering - especially where both sides of the door may be public.

Both of these locks can be specified "power to open" or "power to lock" also known as "fail secure" or "fail safe" respectively. This means you can decide if the door should stay locked or unlocked in a power cut and if any battery backup has failed or run down.

Green Tip: A "power to open" electric strike or drop bolt uses the least energy of all these locks.
