Each tGard stack has between one and ten slots for different elements which create an interlock that is configured for your specific application. Each slot can have a mix of different things, this page gives technical details about Entry Access
If you are not familiar with tGard we recommend you first read about the range in general on the tGard product page or look at our how to buy tGard page to understand the process of configuring the perfect stack.
Entry Access – Actuators
TAF – Fixed Actuator
✔ Fixed Actuator suitable for mounting on either sliding or hinged
doors.
TAH – Handle Actuators
✔ Handle actuators suitable for bracket-less mounting to either
hinged (TAH) or sliding (TAS) doors.
✔ 4mm misalignment feature.
✔ TAH actuator can be converted to a TAS actuator on site, and
vice versa.
TAS – Handle Actuators
✔ Handle actuators suitable for bracket-less mounting to either
hinged (TAH) or sliding (TAS) doors.
✔ 4mm misalignment feature.
✔ TAH actuator can be converted to a TAS actuator on site, and
vice versa.
THB – Handle Blank
✔ Blank handle (without actuator) for use on inside of doors.
TEN – Handle Actuators
✔ Intuitive handle actuator giving latching feature on hinged doors.
✔ 4mm misalignment feature.
✔ Rear of actuator can hold up to 8mm padlocks.
✔ Handing can be changed on site.
✔ Prevents interlock being used as mechanical stop as per
standard.
✔ TEH internal knob allows actuator to be retracted but not
extended.
TEH – Handle Actuators
✔ Intuitive handle actuator giving latching feature on hinged doors.
✔ 4mm misalignment feature.
✔ Rear of actuator can hold up to 8mm padlocks.
✔ Handing can be changed on site.
✔ Prevents interlock being used as mechanical stop as per
standard.
✔ TEH internal knob allows actuator to be retracted but not
extended.
TNH – High Level Coded RF Actuator
✔ RF actuator with tolerance for misalignment.
✔ To be used with tGard High Level Coded element.
📜 The internal knob on TEH handle only opens an already unlocked device and does not release the solenoid or lock mechanism. A TRX/Z (escape release element) must be used to deliver that functionality, in combination with a THM head element and selected actuator.
