The FSH VE1260 is a premium, patented motorised drop bolt engineered for high-security access control environments. With an impressive pre-load/side-load release tolerance of up to 35 kg, this lock is ideal for swing-through doors and demanding installations. It features low current consumption, multi-voltage support, and advanced monitoring capabilities, including both lock status sensing and door position monitoring via a built-in reed switch.

Installable vertically or horizontally, the VE1260’s symmetrical bolt design makes it perfect for 180° swing-through doors, while optional strike plates allow for misaligned doors up to ±12 mm. Retrofit compatibility with Trimec/PADDE ES8000 (via the VE1260S version) makes it a flexible upgrade path for legacy systems.
