The answer to that is, simply don't install a handle for it, then they
won't
be able to open it. You can't use a static bolt for these electric locks
because otherwise you won't be able to close the door again. It needs the
spring loaded latch so when the door is pushed closed, the latch will click
back into place over the electric lock. I myself just use a standard
cylinder lock (Normal front door lock) with the electric mortice. This
allows someone with a key to bypass the electric lock if they want to (Good
for power outage situations).

It's a hard thing to explain :D

All

Anyone got any bright ideas on this ? SimplyAutomate are selling a maglock
(mortice type -
http://www.simplyautomate.co.uk/productDisplay.asp?prodId=4635)
but are
struggling to comprehend my question when I ask - what goes into the door
?

A normal mortice lock is installed into a door itself, with a key of sorts
which turns a "bolt" and extends into a hole in the door frame. A
standard
lock type.

Now this is the opposite - it needs wiring, so needs to be installed in
the frame (which is fine - makes sense). When you apply 12v it prevents it
from "moving". When you turn off the power, it hinges and allows
a fixed
"bolt" to travel out. Imagine stoicking a screw into the door
itself - it
protudes into the gap of the mortice.

Anyway, I was scouring B&Q - I cant find anything that looks like a
static
"bolt" to install onto the door - closest is a "Tubalar
Mortice Latch"

Any ideas ?
