EP 301 Cylinder Electric Rim Lock

The EP-301 Electric Rim Lock for Video Door Phones is a surface-mounted rim lock that releases when triggered by a video door phone or intercom handset, giving trade buyers a straightforward electric release for door entry installations.

Where it fits

This is a job for entry-controlled doors on flats, offices, and residential blocks where a video door phone or intercom handset already handles visitor verification — the EP-301 is the release mechanism that answers to it. It pairs naturally with an existing intercom or video door phone system rather than working as a standalone lock.

How it's fitted

It mounts to the door frame as a surface-fixed rim lock rather than being morticed into the door edge, which keeps installation straightforward on retrofits where cutting the door isn't practical.

Key point for specifiers

The lock retains a mechanical cylinder alongside the electric release, so residents or staff can still open the door with a physical key independently of the entry system — useful where a fallback to key access is a design requirement, such as during intercom faults or power interruption.

When quoting for entry-panel upgrades or replacement handsets, check that the mechanical cylinder and rim-lock mounting suit the existing door frame before specifying the EP-301 alongside the rest of the system.
