The Dorset DG 906 (DG 906 GM) electronic digital rim lock is engineered for versatile deployment across commercial, institutional, and residential door assemblies. Featuring a vertical surface-mounted form factor, the DG 906 eliminates the need for deep mortise pocket cutouts, making it compatible with both standard architectural leaves and specialized narrow-stile door sections where internal lockcase clearance is restricted.
Door Thickness and Structural Profile Compatibility
The DG 906 accommodates standard door leaves with a thickness range between 30 mm and 60 mm. The surface-mount rim architecture distributes mechanical locking forces directly onto the inner face of the door and frame, ensuring structural compatibility across varied door cross-sections without compromising leaf integrity.
- Supported Door Thickness Range: 30 mm to 60 mm.
- Stile Dimensions: Narrow vertical profile engineered specifically for narrow-stile profiles and slim structural framing.
- Installation Format: Surface-mounted rim installation suitable for retrofit upgrades and new builds without requiring deep internal mortising.
Door Material and Leaf Configuration Compatibility
The locking system provides broad substrate adaptability, functioning across diverse construction materials and swing designs. It is suited for internal access-controlled commercial doors, office cabins, meeting rooms, and residential main entry doors.
- Wooden Doors: Compatible with solid timber, engineered wood, and flush composite wooden doors.
- Metal Doors: Mountable on hollow metal, sheet steel, and industrial metal door leaves.
- Narrow-Stile Profiles: Fits narrow-stile aluminum and metal profile framing.
- Double Door Assemblies: Supports double door leaf pairs with appropriate rim striking provisions.
- Sliding Doors: Adaptable to sliding door formats using the designated Dorset DG 906 SL sliding assembly configuration.
Electronic Subsystem and Accessory Integration
Beyond standalone operation using the integrated dual-credential keypad and RFID reader, the Dorset DG 906 supports peripheral hardware interfaces to fit into broader building access setups:
- Credential Capacity: Direct internal registration for up to 31 unique PIN codes and up to 30 unique RFID smart cards.
- Video Door Phone (VDP) Interfacing: Compatible with external video door phone systems for coordinated visitor verification and remote release.
- Wireless Remote Modules: Supports optional remote control receiver modules and RF remotes for wireless unlatching from reception desks or interior workstations.
- Security Logic Integration: Employs an anti-theft fake PIN code / password scrambling routine to preserve PIN confidentiality during manual entry.
Power and Emergency Interface Compatibility
The DG 906 operates on a decentralized power model, requiring 4 x 1.5V AA alkaline batteries. For uninterrupted operation, the electronic hardware incorporates built-in diagnostic warning alerts and secondary power connections:
