Hardware Installation

Stanley, McKinney & Securitron are but a few of the manufacturers who make these hinges used for transferring electrical service to an electronic locking mechanism for remote and/or coded activation.

Drilling through the lock-rail is but one of the techniques employed to get the juice to the lock. Electric Hinges are not the only option for getting power to a locking device, but it has become one of the most secure and popular.

Please note the Boring-Jig employed for keeping the 18″ long ½” drill-bit aligned. The 36″ wide door was drilled half-way through from one side, and then from the opposing side. It’s still much more difficult than it looks.
