Electrolock SCOT EB-180R mini tubular (reversible) with 300 kg holding force

SCOT EB-180R mini tubular electrolock is a compact reversible bolt-style locking device with a rated holding force of 300 kg. Designed for installation on doors, gates, cabinets and small access points, this unit supports both fail-safe and fail-secure configurations thanks to its reversible operation. The electrolock integrates with access control systems and is intended for residential and light commercial applications where a small footprint and reliable mechanical retention are needed.

Advantages

The EB-180R offers a combination of compact dimensions and a relatively high holding force, providing secure mechanical retention without requiring a large mounting area. Its reversible bolt mechanism allows installers to set the lock as either fail-safe or fail-secure to match system requirements. The tubular design simplifies alignment with strike plates and reduces protrusion, while electrical control enables remote operation from access panels or push-button releases.

Suitable for

• Entry doors in residential buildings
• Light commercial entrances and office doors
• Gates and small barriers with limited mounting space
• Cabinets and enclosures requiring controlled access
• Integration with access control panels, intercoms or remote release systems

When it may not be suitable

This mini tubular electrolock is not intended for high-security perimeter applications that require very high holding forces or resistance to heavy physical attacks. It may also be unsuitable where aesthetic concealment is required beyond what a small tubular bolt can provide. For very wide gates or doors with excessive lateral play, additional reinforcement or a different locking approach may be necessary.

Key specifications

• Lock type: tubular bolt (mini reversible)
• Holding force: 300 kg
• Operation: reversible for fail-safe or fail-secure wiring
• Suitable mounting: surface or frame-mounted on doors, gates, cabinets
• Control: electrically actuated for integration with access systems
• Application: residential and light commercial use

How to use

Install the electrolock on the door frame or gate post so the bolt aligns precisely with the receiving strike plate on the moving leaf. Configure the unit for fail-safe or fail-secure operation according to the access control design and wire the power and control lines following safety and local electrical codes. Test the bolt travel and holding force with the door closed, and adjust strike plate alignment if necessary to ensure smooth engagement. Connect to an access panel, intercom, or push-button release for remote unlocking, and include a manual override or emergency exit option if required by local regulations.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify door thickness and frame material to ensure compatible mounting and secure fixing.
• Confirm required wiring mode (fail-safe vs fail-secure) and compatibility with existing access control power supply.
• Check that the 300 kg holding force meets local security requirements for the intended application.
• Ensure strike plate and mounting hardware are suitable for the door/gate installation.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use proper mounting plates and fasteners matched to the frame material, perform periodic checks of bolt movement and electrical connections, and ensure the strike plate remains free of debris. When integrating with an access system, include surge protection and observe wiring polarity and voltage ratings to prevent premature wear.
