Key adaptor

Fortress Interlocks has added its
new E1, Extracted Key Adaptor, to
the amGard range of modular safety
gate switch interlocks.

Fortress has designed a
mechanism that traps the actuator in
the head until the key is removed
which then allows the gate to swing
over the keyhole. While the actuator
remains out of the head, the gate
remains over the keyhole preventing
the key being returned to the lock.

E1 ensures a specific sequence of
operation and can be stacked or
combined with other adaptors; up to
5 key adaptors can be used in one
configuration. It also provides a link
to the mechanical mGard range of
interlocks.

E1 works with access key and
safety key adapters, amGard LOK or
STOP bodies and is suitable for
either hinged or sliding door
applications. The modular
arrangement of amGard allows
customers to configure products to
suit their application.
