ELYTE: the new slim-profile electromechanical lock from Dény Security

An electromechanical lock suitable for narrow aluminum profiles

The slim-profile version of the ELYTE lock is designed for window and door manufacturers and installers facing space constraints in aluminum profiles. The construction system is based on a stainless steel mortise lock, compatible with different axes in order to adapt to the varied geometries of the openings.

The standard 92 mm center-to-center distance corresponds to French market practices. The lock can accommodate:

• crutch plates or sets on rosettes,
• a square dowel of 7, 8 or 9 mm.

This modularity facilitates the work of design offices and metalwork companies when designing custom-made structures, particularly in the service sector or in public access buildings.

Example of a construction site application

On a curtain wall facade equipped with thermally broken aluminum doors, the integration of a narrow-profile lock preserves the slimness of the uprights while ensuring the continuity of the building envelope and access security.

A secure automatic locking mechanism

The lock's operation relies on a dual mechanism:

• deadbolt ejection,
• latch bolt locks when closed.

This mechanism ensures a automatic condemnation of the door and a two-point locking mechanism. It reduces the risk of forgetting to lock the door, a frequent problem in office buildings or public buildings.

"The ejection of the deadbolt and the locking of the latch bolt upon closing ensure automatic locking."

This principle is part of the access security requirements, particularly in establishments subject to significant traffic flows.

Dual voltage and operating modes depending on the application

The ELYTE lock works by dual voltage 12V or 24VThis facilitates its integration into existing installations. The electromagnet offers two modes:

• to power outage protection, promoting the safety of people,
• current emission, geared towards the protection of property.

This configuration allows project managers and integrators to choose the appropriate mode depending on the type of project:

• collective housing,
• offices,
• establishments open to the public.

One operational nuance remains: the choice of operating mode must be consistent with fire and evacuation regulatory requirements.

Reversibility and simplified implementation

The lock has a Right/left reversibility without disassemblyThanks to the symmetrical shape of the latch bolt, this feature reduces errors during installation and simplifies stock management on site.

Installation is made easier by:

• a connecting cable is supplied,
• a ready-to-use connected terminal block.

For installation companies, this type of design reduces intervention time and limits on-site adjustments, particularly in renovation.

Compatibility with access control and BMS

The ELYTE lock can be integrated into a system of technical building management (GTB) or access control. It transmits several pieces of information in real time:

• condition of the bolt,
• door position,
• use of the cylinder,
• action on the crutch,
• attempted sabotage.

"The lock allows for instant monitoring of its operating status and access-related events."

This data is used by operators to optimize flow management and enhance building security.

Regulatory compliance and requirements

The lock is certified:

• EN 179: 2008relating to emergency exit devices,
• EN 14846: 2008, regarding electromechanical locks.

These standards govern the emergency exit safety and the reliability of motorized systems. They are particularly required in public access buildings and commercial buildings.

Free exit is ensured by a handle or panic bar, in accordance with evacuation requirements. Additionally, a European cylinder lock allows for mechanical opening in the event of an electrical failure.

"In case of emergency, the door can still be opened from both sides thanks to the cylinder."

Technical limitations and points of vigilance

Integrating a narrow-profile electromechanical lock imposes certain constraints:

• limited space for cable routing
• need for a secure power supply,
• compatibility with existing aluminium profiles.

These elements must be anticipated during the design phase by fluid engineering firms and joinery manufacturers.

A response to access security challenges

With this narrow-profile version, the ELYTE electromechanical lock is part of the evolution of equipment access control integrated into the joineryIt meets the growing need for security while adapting to contemporary architectural constraints.

Its technical positioning makes it a suitable solution for projects requiring compactness, connectivity and regulatory compliance.
