Retrofit Exit Device ELR Kits
The SDC LR100 Series Electric Latch Retraction Kit enables electric access control and dogging of mechanical exit devices.

Replacement Kit for Discontinued Locknetics 390+ Magnetic Lock Installation
The SDC E1200-390MP Retrofit Mounting Plate utilizes the same template and existing mounting holes for replacing the discontinued Locknetics 390+ with an SDC E1200 1200lb magnetic lock. There is no need to replace the armature. A new wiring hole is all that is required. The SDC E1200 magnetic lock is ordered separately and includes magnetic bond and door status sensors. The SDC 1511-390AMP Retrofit Armature Mounting Plate enables replacement of Locknetics 390+ with SDC Grade 1, 1511 1650lb and 1571 1200lb energy saver locks (sold separately). The 1511-390AMP retrofit kit permits use of existing armature through bolt hole. The new mounting plate covers the previous magnetic lock mounting holes. No drilling or tapping required, all 1500 series include self drilling and tapping screws. SDC 1500 magnetic locks are also available with optional magnetic bond and door status sensors and matching finishes.
