Securitron GL1-FS Electric Gate Lock (Fail Safe)

Securitron GL1 Mechanical Gate Lock

The Securitron GL1-FS Electric Gate Lock is a high-security fail-safe lock designed for a variety of gate applications. Unlike the fail-locked model, this lock ensures that the gate remains unlocked during power failure, which is ideal for situations where gate access needs to remain open in the event of a power outage. However, it requires constant power to operate and is not suitable for solar-powered systems.

Key Features

• Fail-safe model: Gate unlocks during power failure for emergency access
• 2,000 lbs holding force for secure locking when powered
• Requires continuous power to function (not compatible with solar applications)
• Similar to maglocks, where power is maintained until a power cut-off during gate operation
• Weather-resistant cast aluminum housing for durable outdoor performance
• Surface mount design for easy installation and integration

Technical Specifications

• Holding Force: 2,000 lbs.
• Power Requirements: 12-24VDC (constant power required)
• Dimensions: 2-3/4”L x 7-1/4”W x 3-1/4”D
• Material: Tamper-resistant cast aluminum housing
• Latch: Hardened steel latch and pin
• Installation: Surface mount for easy setup

Note:

Power supply and mortise override lock are not included.

This fail-safe lock is ideal for applications requiring automatic unlocking during power loss, ensuring smooth access control when security is paramount.

Conclusion

The Securitron GL1-FS Electric Gate Lock is an excellent choice for high-security applications where automatic unlocking is required during a power failure. With its 2,000 lbs holding force, weather-resistant construction, and easy surface mount installation, this lock ensures secure access control while offering the fail-safe operation needed for critical applications. It’s an ideal solution for those who need continuous power for reliable security, but it is not suitable for solar-powered systems due to its constant power requirement.
