Frequently Asked Questions
What does “monitored” mean on the EM5700M-BLK?
The monitored version includes a built-in Hall Effect Sensor that outputs both Lock Status Sensing (LSS) and Door Status Sensing (DSS) signals. These connect to your access control panel to provide real-time alerts on whether the lock is energised and whether the door is open or closed.
Is the matte black finish durable in high-traffic areas?
Yes. The matte black coating is a high-quality architectural finish engineered for commercial use. It is resistant to everyday wear and maintains its appearance in high-traffic environments. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish.
What is the difference between the EM5700M-BLK and the standard EM5700M?
The EM5700M-BLK is functionally identical to the EM5700M but features an architectural matte black finish instead of the standard silver/aluminium anodised finish. Both are monitored models with LSS and DSS outputs.
Can I use this lock with a 12V power supply?
Yes. The EM5700M-BLK operates on both 12VDC (500mA) and 24VDC (250mA). Ensure your power supply can deliver sufficient current for continuous operation.
Is this lock suitable for fire-rated doors?
Yes. The EM5700M-BLK carries a 4-hour fire rating to Australian Standards, making it compliant for installation on fire door assemblies and designated egress paths.
What brackets should I use to match the matte black finish?
LOX offers matching matte black L-brackets and Z-brackets to maintain a consistent architectural look. Refer to the LOX Accessories Guide above or contact us for configuration-specific advice.
Installer Note: To maintain the all-black architectural look, pair this lock with LOX Matte Black Brackets (L-Bracket or Z-Bracket) suited to your door configuration. Refer to the Accessories Guide above for compatible options.
