dormakaba has recalled approximately 2,400 Delayed Egress Locks, specifically model DE8310. These locks, sold between October 2019 and March 2021, are used on perimeter and fire doors to delay unauthorized exits while ensuring safety during emergencies. They were recalled because the firmware can malfunction, causing the lock to fail to open and potentially trapping people inside a building during a fire or other crisis.
The lockset's firmware can fail to release the door after the 15 or 30-second delay, posing a serious entrapment hazard during emergencies. While no injuries have been reported, dormakaba has received 56 reports of these locks failing to operate as intended.
Facilities using the recalled locks should contact the firm for instructions on receiving a free repair of the firmware by a technician.
