Features and types of mortise electromechanical locks

The lock is considered an important part for the doors in every house, because without such protection the door simply cannot protect the home from intruders. Electric types of locks for entrance doors or at the gate are in great demand and are considered to be an excellent alternative to ordinary mechanical locks.

The locking mechanisms equipped with an electronic drive do not differ much from an ordinary lock by external parameters, but the design itself, like the principle of operation, reliability and a high degree of security, reliably protect an office space, a summer house or a house. You can close the lock with a special valve. When closing this valve is included in a special holding groove.

The security system may include one of the following elements:

• video intercom;
• keypad with a set of special password or code;
• ordinary intercom;
• the alarm.

Electric locks on metal doors are selected according to the type of installation: there is a mortise installation and invoice. To control the lock, you can use the tablet, fingerprint readers, special magnetized cards, electronic or ordinary keys. There are models that can be closed using a remote control. The electromechanical type of system is characterized by the presence of a lock in the design, for example, of an element such as a mounting bolt, which is called a solenoid.

If you need to connect the security system to the lock, then it is purchased separately.

The following elements are included in the set:

• keys set;
• counterpart;
• metal housing;
• lock cylinder.

Electromechanical locks can be classified according to certain characteristics.

By way of installation locks are:

• Mortise electromechanical locking mechanisms for door designs with handles - installed inside the door structure;
• overhead electric locks mounted on top of the boxes and door panels on the inside.

By the number of bolts. The standard model is equipped with one or several locking mechanisms, which are distinguished by a high degree of protection. The improved version is equipped with at least three protective mechanisms. The advantages of this model are that, regardless of the number of locking devices, not all can be used at the same time, but only those that meet the goals of using the door structure.

According to the principle of work.

• Normally closed types of locks. At the time of the use of such models, even with a power outage, the doors will remain locked. But the opening of the lock can be performed only with a special key. This type is used in the door structures of residential buildings.
• Normally open type lock mechanisms. This model of the lock differs in that when the voltage is turned on it will remain open. This type of application is limited: it is installed only where people usually gather the most, and at the time of a power outage the doors must always remain open. It can be any public institution: a hospital, a school or a street entrance to a high-rise building entrance.

By type of construction.

• Motor. In a similar lock in closed form, the bolt is fixed by an electric motor located inside the mechanism. Open this type of device allows the valve, which can be adjusted in some individual products. The bolt electromechanical type of the door lock possesses multipoint locks. In this system, each of these locks is equipped with a personal electric motor, which allows you to fully regulate the operation of the entire lock.

• Electro-blocking. This is a locking mechanism with a latch and a tight spring that creates an obstacle to opening the doors. When electricity is supplied to the power supply, the lock starts to work, and at this moment the bolt automatically plunges into the mechanism.Using the key, the latch will move, opening the lock at the time the knob on the door is turned. To ensure excellent durability of the bolt with the daily impact of the elastic spring, it is made with special carbide lining.

• Solenoid The bolt of such a lock will be fixed by the solenoid in the presence of voltage. Solenoid locks are quick to respond to received signals. Such locks are durable. Most of these products are equipped with an internal handle connected to the mechanism, which makes it easy to open the door to leave the building.

Of the features of such devices, the positions described below are distinguished.

• Electric locks are convenient and easy to use.
• The compatibility of electricians with mechanics allowed us to create the highest level of security.
• When the lock breaks, it can be repaired. This suggests that repairing these electromechanical locks is in fact not difficult. It is better, of course, to do this, contact a special master and do not carry out repairs yourself.
• Most products can be excellent protection due to technical features. When attempting to open, the attacker will not be able to find out exactly where the mechanism is located at such a lock.

• The hidden mechanism has the advantage of simple installation. The external attractiveness of the entire door structure will remain intact and safe, since during installation the surface of the door does not deteriorate at all, and you do not need to drill holes for keyholes.
• The mechanism of such locking devices is several times more reliable and stronger than ordinary ones, and the operating period is much longer.
• Electrical mechanisms can be installed on completely different door designs.
• The presence of a remote control allows you to install locking mechanisms in buildings with a high level of permeability of people, which is quite practical and convenient. Remote control allows you to open the door at a distance.
• Among the models there are those that do not create any noise at the time of opening the doors. This is important when there are small children or people in the house who are irritating to the knock of a mechanical structure.
