The Abloy EL460 is a handle-controlled electromechanical solenoid lock case built specifically for narrow-profile doors, where a wide mortise lock simply won't fit. It's supplied complete with its mounting accessories, cable, and fixing screws, so installers aren't left sourcing separate strike plates or hardware to get it fitted; everything needed for a standard installation comes in the box.

Because it sits inside the door leaf rather than mounted on the surface, it gives a cleaner, more finished look than an exposed electric strike, while still offering the same electronic release. Like the rest of Abloy's solenoid range, it can be wired into an access control system or triggered through something simpler like a timer, keypad, or remote push button, which makes it adaptable whether it's going into a single office door or a larger building-wide access setup.

The EL460 is commonly specified for interior doors in offices, public buildings, hospitals, and educational premises, and it's rated for use on both exit doors and fire-rated doors when installed with the correct door furniture. The inside handle always operates mechanically for exit function, so occupants can always leave the building even if the outside is electronically locked, an important detail for anyone fitting it near an escape route.
