INTRODUCING THE NEW 3800 SERIES ELECTRIC CYLINDRICAL
LOCKSET!
Rutherford Controls Int'l Corp., April, 2010 -
Access control requires electrically operated locks. Choosing the
electric locking device that is best suited for the situation can
be challenging.
Electromagnetic Locks are a great choice for many applications;
however with ever changing and conflicting interpretations of
building codes, the Electromagnetic Lock often presents a hurdle
for specifiers and integrators not worth tackling. Similarly, an
electric strike is not always the best solution for the application
at hand. Applications wherein there are limitations related to
installation, or when higher security is a key factor, for
instance, are examples of applications not well suited for the
electric strike. In those and many other applications the solution
then becomes clear; an electrified lockset.
"We've long known that integrators are on the lookout for high
quality and reliable alternatives to the electromagnetic lock and
electric strike. With our New 3800 Series (Recently changed
to 3 Series) of Grade 1 cylindrical locksets, we are now able to
offer an electric locking product that meets their needs and more'
says Bob Lafrance, VP of Sales & Marketing
The 3800 Series (now known as the 3 Series), ANSI
Grade 1, Cylindrical Lockets have been specifically designed for
use in high traffic and/or high abuse applications such as high
rise office or residential buildings, factories, warehouses, retail
stores, schools, and public buildings. This lever set has a unique
clutch mechanism that radically reduces the wear and abuse
experienced with typical cylindrical lever sets. When locked, the
'clutch' disengages the outside lever allowing it to turn freely
without opening the latch.
With a cast stainless steel retractor and bronze roller bearings,
the 3800 Series (now known as the 3 Series) lever
set is ultra-strong, operates smoothly, and lasts far longer than
most. Endurance tested to over four million cycles, it can also
withstand 1800 inch-pounds of torque.
"We are so sure of its strength and durability, we've given this
product a lifetime mechanical warranty" says Bob Lafrance.
Easy to install and fits doors ranging from 1-5/8 to 1-7/8" in
thickness without the use of spacers or special tools, the Electric
Cylindrical series also features thru-bolting reducing vibration
and has been fire labeled for up to three hours.
The options too are numerous with various functions, request to
exit (REX), the popular American lever, and a 6-pin standard
core.
Known today as RCI, Rutherford Controls Int'l Corp. is a global,
solution based organization that provides the architectural
hardware, locksmith, and security markets with the best in electric
locks, door hardware and access control products. In or Out… We
Make it Easy!
