Southco slide bolt offers door, latch monitoring

Southco Inc., a provider of engineered access solutions, has expanded its line of electronic access control solutions with an electronic slide bolt that simplifies the upgrade from mechanical to electromechanical latching, according to a press release.

The EM-05 4 Series Slide Bolt integrates an electronic lock with latch bolt position sensing and door sensing, allowing for simple monitoring of door and latch status.

Southco's EM-05 4 Series electronic slide bolt features energy efficiency, requiring no power draw to maintain its retracted or extended position.

The electronic slide bolt can be installed in tight spaces and is adaptable to various mounting requirements.

The 4 Series uses a spring-loaded, gear motor-driven mechanism that provides an alternative to solenoid solutions in high-volume dispensing and storing applications.

«With integrated latch bolt position sensing and door sensing, the 4 Series allows simple monitoring of door and latch status for added security,» General Manager Steve Spatig said in the release.
