The Samsung SHS-P718 push-pull biometric digital mortise lock is engineered for integration across commercial facilities, enterprise offices, server spaces, and modern industrial or residential environments. Successful field deployment requires verifying physical leaf dimensions, structural frame tolerances, mortise pocket alignment, and electronic credential compatibility prior to site preparation.
Door Leaf and Dimensional Compatibility
The lock assembly installs on standard commercial wooden and steel doors meeting defined structural dimensions. To accommodate the mortise hardware, interior escutcheon, and exterior escutcheon, the door must satisfy the following dimensional criteria:
| Compatibility Parameter | Technical Requirement |
|---|---|
| Door Thickness Range | 40 mm to 80 mm |
| Minimum Stile Width | 115 mm |
| Backset Clearance | 70 mm |
| Door-to-Frame Clearance Gap | 5 mm maximum |
| Mortise Pocket Profile | AML320 two-way latch mortise |
| Door Swing Orientation | Universal / Field-reversible (Left-hand or Right-hand push/pull) |
| Credential Protocol | 13.56 MHz ISO/IEC 14443 Type A |
| Primary Power Interface | DC 6V via 8 AA alkaline batteries (they are not included) |
| Emergency Power Interface | External contacts for 9V battery (they are not included) |
Mortise Pocket and Frame Tolerances
The SHS-P718 utilizes an AML320 two-way latch mortise mechanism, rated for 300,000 opening cycles. The door leaf preparation requires a standard mortise pocket capable of housing the AML320 mechanism with a strict 70 mm backset (measured from the door edge to the center of the keyhole/handle axis). The minimum structural lock stile width must be at least 115 mm to accommodate the escutcheon footprint (exterior: 86 mm W x 387 mm H x 61 mm D; interior: 86 mm W x 354.8 mm H x 63 mm D).
The physical clearance between the leading edge of the closed door leaf and the frame strike plate must not exceed 5 mm. Excessive frame gaps beyond 5 mm prevent proper latch engagement and compromise the automatic deadbolt locking triggers.
Door Handing and Swing Configuration
The SHS-P718 features a universal reversible design. It is fully compatible with both left-hand and right-hand door swings without requiring factory-handed variants. Site technicians can configure the mechanical push-pull handle orientation during installation to align with inward-opening (push to enter) or outward-opening (pull to enter) operational workflows.
Credential and Reader Compatibility
The lock provides dual electronic credential support for identification management:
- RFID Credentials: Operates at 13.56 MHz utilizing the ISO/IEC 14443 Type A protocol. Compatible with Samsung RFID KeyTags and standard ISO 14443A contactless smart cards. The unit accommodates up to 30 registered user credentials (combined PIN and card assignments).
- Biometric Interface: Employs an integrated optical fingerprint scanner capable of registering and processing up to 100 individual fingerprint templates.
- Keypad Authentication: Supports programmable master and user access codes with PIN lengths spanning from 4 to 12 numerical digits.
Power and Emergency Interface Compatibility
Primary standalone operation is driven by DC 6V sourced from a dedicated battery pack requiring 8 AA alkaline batteries (they are not included). In instances of total power depletion, the exterior escutcheon features emergency jump terminals compatible with a standard external 9V battery (they are not included) to temporarily energize the circuit, as well as a concealed physical key cylinder compatible with the supplied emergency mechanical override keys.
