Digital Door Locks

Digital locks are becoming an increasingly popular method of controlling entry with the added bonus that there are no keys to worry about.  Finding the right equipment and installing it at the right price requires familiarity with many different products and manufacturers.  We can find the best solution for your requirement.

Electronic Digital Locks/ Keypads

This is the solution for heavy indoor and outdoor use, or where looks matter. We can supply and fit a range of electronic keypads to suit your budget, with a choice of locking device.
 
Electronic locks that use swipe cards or key fob are secure systems that are already used by banks, hospitals and government offices. Add a computer link and you will be able to monitor exactly who entered, when and through which entrance.

These systems can be tailored precisely to match your own needs.

The locking devices on doors, which are opened by means of a keypad, keyfob, swipe card or intercom handset fall into three broad categories:

Magnetic Locks

Door-locking magnets are extremely hard to force open. Without much noise and without any easily worn-out moving parts, they are all in all a very secure locking device. A magnet will only lock if it is 'powered-up', i.e. if an electric current runs through it. Should the power supply be disrupted, a magnet can continue to operate if fitted with a back-up battery.

Electric Releases

Electric releases are the most widely used way of electronically giving access to a door. A mechanical lock simply locates into a release fixed onto the doorframe, and from a keypad code or an intercom handset, the release flap can be made to let go of the lock, and allow the door to be opened. Generally, electric releases are considered to be a means of access control rather than a deterent to buglars.

Other Electrical Locking Devices

One example of this is the Abloy electric lock, often used to work on communal or main entrance doors with intercom systems, where that extra bit of security is required.  The lock is also seen on gates and all sorts of commercial applications.
