Frequently Asked Questions
Is the LOX ES20 fire rated?
Yes. The ES20 is fire rated to up to 4 hours in accordance with Australian Standards, and carries CE and RCM (C-Tick) approvals, making it suitable for installation on fire-rated doors in commercial and institutional buildings.
What is the difference between Fail-Secure and Fail-Safe?
Fail-Secure keeps the door locked when power is lost — best for security-critical areas. Fail-Safe releases the door when power is lost — required for fire egress compliance. The ES20 can be switched between both modes on-site with a screwdriver, no rewiring needed.
Why does the ES20 have a 10mm strike lip instead of 15mm?
The 10mm lip reduces the risk of personal injury and clothing snagging compared to standard 15mm lip strikes. The ES20 is also pre-drilled to accept extension lips in various sizes if a longer lip is required for your door hardware.
Is the ES20 compatible with my existing access control system?
Very likely yes. The ES20 accepts any DC voltage between 10V and 30V, drawing 250mA at 12VDC or 125mA at 24VDC, making it compatible with the vast majority of access control panels and power supplies used in Australia.
Does CCTV Guru ship the LOX ES20 Australia-wide?
Yes. We ship to all states and territories across Australia, including metro and regional areas.
