Electric Bolt Lock for Frameless Glass Doors in Oman

Description

An electric bolt lock secures a frameless glass door by dropping a steel bolt into a receiver. It suits doors where a magnetic lock has nowhere to mount. The lock can be set to hold either with power or without it. We stock the electric bolt lock for glass doors in Oman at our shop in Al Khuwair, Muscat.

Fail-safe or fail-secure electric bolt lock

This is the choice that matters. In fail-safe mode the bolt holds while powered and drops out in a power cut, so the door opens.

In fail-secure mode the opposite applies. The door stays locked when power is lost. That suits a strongroom or a stock room, but never an escape route.

Where a frameless glass door lock is used

Office suites, shopfronts, boardrooms, clinics and bank entrances. Any glass leaf that closes against a floor or a fixed side panel.

The bolt sits inside the frame line rather than across the top. Nothing breaks the clean look of the glass when the door stands open.

What’s included

The lock body, mounting accessories, connection wiring and a guide. The glass, the receiver cutout and the power supply are separate.

Powering a 12V electric bolt lock

The lock draws its highest current at the moment the bolt moves, then settles. Size the 12 V power supply for that peak rather than the holding load.

One supply usually runs the lock, the reader and the exit button on a single door.

Fitting an electric bolt lock to glass

The glass must be ordered with the bolt cutout already made. Toughened glass cannot be notched on site, so measure before the leaf is cut.

Set the delay timer once wired. A short delay lets the door settle closed before the bolt fires. That stops it striking the edge of the glass.

Common questions

Will the bolt fire while the door is open?
Not if the delay timer is set correctly and the door status output is wired in. Both exist to prevent that.

Bolt lock or magnetic lock for a glass door?
A bolt lock needs the glass cut but leaves a cleaner look. A magnetic lock needs no cutting but does need a U bracket over the leaf. On a framed door with a latch, an electric strike is cheaper than both.

Can I fit it to an existing glass door?
Only if the leaf already has the cutout. Otherwise the glass has to be replaced, which costs more than the lock.

Is it suitable for an office glass door in Muscat?
Yes. It is the usual choice on frameless office entrances, and we hold stock in Al Khuwair.

Does it work on left and right opening doors?
Yes. The same unit suits either hand.
