The Securitron UnLatch eliminates the necessity to perform a routing operation on the door frame for installation. The motor driven Securitron UnLatch also presents a fully concealed appearance on the door which not only enhances the architectural appeal of the installation but improves security over a conventional electric strike as an intruder is less able to determine the type of security device present on the door. The Securitron UnLatch functions with cylindrical dead latches or springlatches and includes a latch status output which reports when the door is in latched (secure) condition or is open.
