Dortronics Systems, Inc., the industry's leading provider of standard and custom finish access control products, has introduced a new communication-capable, fail-safe control system, ideal for public restroom applications. The 43211-CB Communicating Bathroom System provides power to operate most low voltage locking mechanisms including maglocks, strikes and electrified locksets, and is ideal for use in a two-door restroom facility such as those located in dormitories or healthcare facilities.
Either of the “privacy” push buttons will energise door locks for both doors and illuminate the “occupied” high intensity LED indicators outside the bathroom. The privacy push buttons also illuminate to indicate to the user when the doors are locked. Both doors must be closed in order to activate the privacy locks. Opening either door using the mechanical lockset hardware or activating the “emergency release” push button will unlock both doors immediately. For added convenience and safety, the system includes a fire alarm interface to redundantly unlock both doors for egress.
