What are two methods that can be used to mechanically override an electrified mortise lock?

Actuating the handle from the secured side is a valid method for mechanically overriding an electrified mortise lock. In many cases, electrified mortise locks are designed to remain secured while in a locked state from the outside. However, the handle on the secured side is often not disabled or can be manipulated directly to unlock the mechanism. This allows someone with access to the secured area to open the door, bypassing the electrical components.

The other methods listed do not provide a mechanical override in the context of an electrified lock. For example, actuating the handle from the unsecured side typically does not grant access unless the lock is already in an unsecured state. Using a wireless remote could control the locking mechanism electronically but does not constitute a mechanical override. Installing a secondary locking mechanism introduces an additional layer of security rather than providing an override to the existing electrified mortise lock itself. Therefore, the key aspect of mechanically overriding a lock is found in the ability to manipulate it from the secured side directly.
