5 Way Staff Override System
More ways in when access matters most
Designed for higher risk applications, the 5 Way SOS gives staff five independent override methods to regain access, even if the lock has been damaged or the door has been barricaded.
For everyday use, the staff key provides quick, simple access. If a more determined barricade occurs, additional override methods give staff further ways to enter when it matters most.
1 Way Staff Override System
Simple, reliable access for lower risk applications
Designed for lower risk doors where tampering is unlikely, the 1 Way SOS provides a single staff key override.
Its direct mechanical design keeps the key and internal turn or pull independent. This means staff can unlock the door even when the internal mechanism is being held, without relying on more complex clutch or geared cylinders.
