Electromechanical locks - reliable guards

Electromechanical locks are reliable guards of any home. However, they will work long and reliably only if, when choosing a lock, all the requirements for the installation and operation of this model are taken into account.

As the name implies, electromechanical locks are hybrid devices in which mechanical and electrical circuits are used in parallel. The standard mechanical lock in this device is reinforced by the electrical circuit.

Like the usual mechanical, they can be embedded or overhead.

Purchasing mortise electromechanical locks, it should be taken into account that these are open-frame structures that are installed inside the door. Usually, the lock does not include a button for opening, so you can open it with a key or a signal given by the "doorphone pill".

When buying an electromechanical pad, it is necessary to check its complete set. It includes:

• Directly lock.

• His mate.

• Larva with a set of keys.

• Mounting kit.

Installation of the electromechanical lock of the waybill is carried out from the side of the apartment, and it opens in three ways:

• Keys included with the larva.

• A signal that is connected to the intercom.

• A mechanical button mounted on the lock case.

If the button is locked, the lock will open.

Such locks are produced for doors that can open in any direction (outside or inside), as well as for left-hand or right-hand doors.

Like any device, electromechanical locks have their advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of electromechanical locks:

• Very high reliability of the keys included in the kit.

• A simple installation that does not require the presence of a specialist.

• The possibility of opening the lock at a distance (remotely).

However, it should be remembered that in this lock there are rubbing parts. Over time, they can wear out and require the replacement of the entire castle or its components. This is the main drawback inherent in this type of constipation.

Types of electromechanical locks

• Electromotive. An electric motor moves a special bolt or a whole crossbar system. It is recommended to lock the doors at night, because the crossbars pressed by the motor can not be squeezed.

• Solenoid. Equipped with a powerful rod of durable metal. It slides inside the door when power is applied.

• Cours. The cheapest models. Outside, open with a conventional key, from the inside - with a button.

• Latches. These electromechanical locks operate on a different principle. They have two positions. The first is "normally open" (ie without voltage is in the open position), the second is "normally closed" (ie without voltage is in the closed state). The first are convenient for public places, ways of evacuation, etc.

Normally closed locks are used to ensure safety. They open only when the voltage is applied.

Most often, the latches are hung on a light-weight door. For the more severe, special models are required, which are also produced by different manufacturers.
