The Abloy EL560 is a handle-controlled electric solenoid lock built for doors that see steady, everyday traffic, office entrances, plant rooms, storage areas, and general commercial access points. Unlike a standard electric strike that latches automatically, the EL560 releases through the door handle itself once power is applied, so people open the door the same way they always would, with the electronic control working quietly in the background. That makes it a comfortable fit for offices and public buildings where you don't want staff or visitors fumbling with unfamiliar hardware.

It connects to most access control systems, and it's just as happy running off something simpler like a timer, keypad, or push button, so whether a building has a full card-access network or just needs one door on a basic remote release, the EL560 covers it. It's non-handed, so the same lock works on left- or right-opening doors, and it's rated for use on both exit doors and fire-rated doors, meeting EN 179 and EN 1125 where the right door furniture is fitted.

The lock fits both wooden and metal doors, and because it keeps a mechanical key override, facilities teams always have a manual way in if the power ever drops. It's a dependable, well-proven choice for medium-traffic commercial doors, and it's one of the more frequently specified Abloy models across UAE office fit-outs and public buildings.
