Product description
The IDH Max™, B.A.S.I.S.® G and B.A.S.I.S.® V (Magstrip and Smartcard versions) cylindrical and mortise electronic door lock products are often installed in college and university dormitories, schools and hospitals.
Reason for recall
In an extreme fire situation, it is possible for the electronic wires and mounting holes to become exposed, posing a fire hazard risk. There is no danger of latch failure, nor will this prevent normal egress during an emergency evacuation.
Remedy, what to do
Customers will be contacted directly by Best Access Systems to receive a replacement product. Products installed in non-fire rated applications and B.A.S.I.S. G mortise products installed in 20-minute fire rated applications will be modified or replaced if requested by the customer. Products installed in 3-hour fire rated applications will be modified or replaced.
