Secure locking and convenient opening

Lock cylinders and profile cylinders are key components of many door locks, enabling doors to be securely locked and unlocked using the appropriate key. Profile cylinders are inserted into existing mortise locks and are available in various lengths and designs, allowing them to be selected to match the door thickness and hardware. Depending on the model, security cylinders feature additional safety elements and offer enhanced protection compared to standard cylinders. They are suitable for applications such as main entrance doors, apartment doors, side entrances, office doors, basements, and other lockable rooms, serving as a vital component of reliable door security.

 

In contrast, an electric door opener - often referred to simply as an electric strike - allows a door to be opened remotely. An electrical signal - triggered by an intercom, doorbell system, access control unit, or push-button - releases the door mechanism to allow opening. Depending on the installation requirements, models are available for left- and right-hand doors, along with various functional options. A standard electric door opener unlocks the door only while the electrical signal is active, whereas a model with a hold-open function (or memory function) maintains the release state until the door is physically opened. Door openers with a "daytime release" feature allow for temporary mechanical unlocking, enabling the door to be opened during that period without requiring a new electrical impulse. This versatility makes electric door openers suitable for everything from private homes and apartment buildings to offices, medical practices, shops, and other commercial properties.

 

Simple and effective security for windows and keys

The right strike plate is also crucial for the reliable operation of a door lock. Mounted on the door frame, it receives the lock's latch or bolt when the door is closed. Depending on the door frame, lock, and installation setup, either angled or flat strike plates can be used. While angled strike plates are designed to fit specific frame constructions, flat strike plates feature a straight, space-saving design. Additionally, lockable window handles enhance security for windows as well as balcony and patio doors. These handles can be locked with a key, preventing them from being turned once secured. This hinders both unauthorized and accidental opening, making them an ideal choice for easily accessible windows and doors.

 

A key safe - also known as a key vault or key box - offers a practical way to securely store keys in a designated location and make them accessible to authorized individuals. This eliminates the need for a personal handover of keys, which is particularly useful for vacation rentals, appointments with tradespeople, care services, property management, or shared spaces. The combination of profile cylinders, security cylinders, electric door openers, angled or flat strike plates, lockable window handles, and key safes allows for a tailored approach to door and window security as well as access control.
