Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ABH from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between ABH storeroom and classroom security paddle locksets?
ABH storeroom paddle locksets (e.g., LRF6658-US32) allow free egress from inside at all times, while the outside paddle is always locked, requiring a key for entry. Classroom security locksets (e.g., LRF6641-US3) allow the door to be locked from inside the room using a key or thumbturn, providing secure lockdown capability during emergencies. Both are ADA compliant and may be ligature-resistant depending on the model. Storeroom function is typically used for utility or storage rooms, while classroom security is designed for educational settings where quick lockdown is necessary.
Are ABH paddle locksets ADA compliant?
Many ABH paddle locksets are ADA compliant, meaning they can be operated with a closed fist or limited grip without requiring tight grasping or twisting. This includes models such as 6813-7-A-US32D-Q-CN, LRF6658-US32, and LRF6637-US32D. ADA compliance is critical for facilities that must meet accessibility codes, such as schools, hospitals, and government buildings. However, not all ABH locksets may be ADA compliant, so buyers should verify the specific model's specifications before purchase.
What does ligature-resistant mean in ABH locksets?
Ligature-resistant ABH locksets are designed to minimize protrusions or gaps that could be used for self-harm in behavioral health or healthcare settings. Models like LRF6658-US32 and LRF6641-US3 feature a smooth, contoured paddle and reduced attachment points. These locksets still provide the required security function, such as storeroom or classroom security, while meeting safety standards for at-risk individuals. They are commonly specified in psychiatric wards, detention centers, and other supervised facilities.
What are ABH power transfer units used for?
ABH power transfer units route electrical power or data from the door frame to the door, enabling electrified hardware such as electric strikes, card readers, or exit devices to operate. They are used in access control systems where a continuous electrical connection is needed across a moving door. These units are available in various configurations to suit different door types, hinge styles, and wiring requirements. They help maintain a secure and functional opening without exposed wiring that could be damaged.
Can 3G Electric supply ABH locksets with specific finishes like US32D or US10B?
