Abstract

Arrangement in a lock, especially an electromechanical locking system, comprising a lock casing, as well as an electromagnetic stopper which influences the door handle, and for the purpose of providing a locking unit which inter alia meets the requirements regarding inside panic opening in connection with guest room doors for hotels or similar, especially in connection with locks having battery operation with limited energy. The electromagnetic stopper means is arranged on the inside of the door, the room side, and is so adapted that it allows the inner door handle to open the door independently of whether the door is barred against being opened from the outside.
