Securitron -u.s. MKAN2 Mortise Key Switch Dpdt Narrow Gang

Product Description

The SECURITRON -U.S. MKAN2 is a mortise-style key switch designed for access control and exit device applications. It operates with an alternate action mechanism, meaning each key turn toggles the switch between states rather than returning to a default position. The switch features a double-pole double-throw (DPDT) configuration, providing two independent sets of contacts for flexible wiring in control circuits. Built in a narrow gang form factor, it fits standard narrow-stile door hardware cutouts. Licensed electricians and access control technicians are the primary installers of this device.

The MKAN2 is suited for commercial door access control systems where a maintained key-operated switch is required. Its narrow gang profile makes it appropriate for installation in narrow-style door frames and panels. Typical applications include controlling electric strikes, magnetic locks, door holders, and other low-voltage access control equipment. The DPDT contact arrangement allows the switch to drive two separate circuit legs simultaneously, which is useful in systems requiring both a latch signal and a status signal from a single key operation.

• Designed for access control and exit device integration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style mortise key switch for commercial access control and exit device systems requiring a narrow gang, alternate action DPDT switch.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified access control technician. Disconnect all power to the access control system and any connected electric hardware before beginning installation. Follow all applicable NEC requirements for low-voltage control wiring. Verify the DPDT contact wiring matches the control panel or device input requirements before restoring power.
