Magnetic Door Latch Control

Application

Release the magnetic door latch on doors in conference rooms, offices, hospital rooms, and classrooms.

Scenario

A large institution with hundreds of offices wanted the occupants of their offices to be able to release the magnetic door latches on their office doors from their desks. The building wasn’t originally designed to accommodate such a requirement.

Solution

Administrators identified Illumra self-powered wireless controls as a viable solution. Self-powered switches were mounted on the underside of the desk, within reach of the person sitting at the desk. Wireless relay receivers were connected to the magnetic latch, thereby allowing control of the door from a seated position. Installing these controls increased worker efficiency and convenience.
