The lock body mounts to the door frame surface with screws through five fixing holes, and the 123mm x 70mm x 50mm body sits flush against the frame edge. When powered at 12VDC the lock releases, allowing the door to open. When power is removed or fails, the lock engages and secures the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFail-secure operation suits high-security applications where the door must remain locked during power outages, fire alarm activations, or system failures. The lock is typically paired with a door controller, keypad or card reader on the secure side of the door, with a mechanical override handle or push-bar on the exit side to meet fire egress requirements. The 340g body provides enough holding force for standard residential and light commercial doors without requiring heavy-duty frame reinforcement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe polished stainless steel finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance against both painted and powder-coated door frames. The lock accepts 12VDC input from a dedicated access control power supply or door controller with integrated PSU. The compact 123mm length allows the lock to fit within standard door frame widths without protruding past the frame edge into the door reveal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Net Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.34\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Gross Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.37\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Gross Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.65\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e123\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Width (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Height (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e400\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Width (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e290\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Height (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_A1SLS_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/manual_A1SLS.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does fail-secure mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFail-secure means the lock engages and secures the door when power is removed or fails. This is the opposite of fail-safe operation, where the lock releases during a power failure to allow free egress. Fail-secure locks are used where security must be maintained during outages, typically paired with a mechanical override on the exit side to meet fire safety requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat voltage does the lock require?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aperta A1SLS operates on 12VDC.
