CPSC, Best Lock Corp. Announce Recall of Electronic Door Locks
02534 · Recalled 2002-05-06 · CPSC page
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.
Hazards
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.
Reported injuries
CPSC and Best Lock have not received any reports of incidents. This recall is being conducted to make sure that products installed in fire-rated applications meet industry standards.
Remedy
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.
