Plain-English summary

Stanley Convergent Security Solutions is recalling about 6,500 connector kits used with electronic door lock control modules. The recalled pin connectors were distributed in installation kits (part number 8Z-40010751) for use with Sonitrol-brand ACCESS4-S and ACCESS4-SULC four-door access control modules. The recalled connectors include two-pin, eight-pin, and 17-pin models, all of which have "EB560" imprinted on the end.

The pin connector can fail and prevent a door from being unlocked from the inside, posing an entrapment hazard to consumers. This failure can lead to the inability to vacate a location in an emergency. Stanley Convergent Security Solutions has received three reports of the pin connectors failing, but no entrapments have been reported.

The kits were sold at Stanley Convergent Security Solutions' branch offices and Sonitrol franchised dealers nationwide from August 2008 through October 2009 for between $50 and $70. Owners of the kits should contact Stanley Convergent Security Solutions or their Sonitrol franchised dealer to schedule an appointment to have the pin connectors replaced free of charge. For additional information, consumers can contact Stanley Convergent Security Solutions toll-free at (866) 792-5276 between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firms' websites at www.stanleycss.com or www.sonitrol.com.
