Door Rim Locks

Surface locks allow easy and effective closing of doors without the help of a key

The products available in this group are very important security for any door. We offer a very wide selection of articles of the highest quality of workmanship and high security parameters of many well-known manufacturers such as Gerda, or Lob. Surface door locks perform better as an additional form of security in external doors. This is due to the fact that it is much simpler to balance a door that is protected only by a lock mounted on the surface of the door. Therefore, they do very well as hassle-free and effective locks inside the premises. This type of surface lock is recommended when the door you have is too thin, and a classic lock mounted inside the leaf could not fit into it.

Surface door lockas security for all kinds of lockers or workshops

Surface door locks come in many varieties of both color and functionality. In addition to classic products locked with a knob, there is a double cylinder top version, i.e. locked on two sides with a key - such models are used in situations where you want to prevent an unauthorized person from closing the door from the inside, for example, in a store, warehouse. Then the door can be locked only by a person with a key. The variant without a knob is used when access from the inside is possible, e.g. in grilles, doors with glazing. The surface cylinder lock colloquially known as "cyclops" probably owes its specific name to the fact that when we look at the door from the front, we usually see only a round cylinder, which we associate with one eye. Sometimes these types of locks are still installed in lavatories or basements, as well as in everyday rooms. Over the years, surface door locks have managed to dramatically change their appearance and become an aesthetic addition.

Turning the knob will quickly give access to the room to an outsider

The biggest advantage of buying a lock with a knob is that we never have to rely on a key. We know very well the situations when you need to open the door immediately, and the keys disappeared somewhere at the bottom of the bag. This security device is easy and quick to install, and is also very resistant to mechanical damage. A special variation of the patent lock has a built-in alarm system that sets off a siren in case of an attempted break-in. After all, their sturdy construction is why it is in safes, or armored safes, that exactly the same type of lock is used. Top locks are also good security for wickets, or gates as additional locking. When a very high level of security is required, we recommend the use of certified or pawn products, with the so-called pen key. Opening this type of security with ordinary manipulation methods is virtually impossible for an outsider. Thus, it guarantees very high efficiency, and you can feel safe in your home.

Attestation will show how high resistance to various parameters your lock has

Approvals are among the most important forms that will allow you to decide what parameters you will need in your own lock. On the packaging of the lock you can find a code that will confirm the degree of amenities of the lock and at the same time comply with European standards. Among them, you can find the resistance class - it motivates in which place the lock will find itself best. Durability - that is, for what number of cycles the lock has been tested and in no way caused damage or significant wear. Door weight and locking force: this describes the weight of the door expressed in kilograms and the force expressed in newtons. Another aspect is "suitability for use in fire doors"- the digit "0" placed next to it describes the lack of approval in buildings that must meet fire safety standards. This is because the next is safety - the digit "0" placed next to this standard corresponds to the lack of safety requirements. The fifth aspect will be resistance to corrosion and temperature, and this is something you should undoubtedly pay attention to when buying a surface lock that will be in contact with the direct atmospheric factor of rain, snow and strong sunlight. In the background appears "security and drill resistance", the scale abounds in 7 numbers, where the highest of them indicates a high level of protection against drilling. Type and application of the lock: this indicates the type of door for which the lock is dedicated, as well as the method of locking the lock. Next will be the "method of actuating and locking the lock" with next to it we can read whether it is a mortise lock and what is its application. The penultimate on the list is "type of handle or knob pivot" with it we can read whether the said lock has a walnut or not. For some models, the problem of key requirements is also addressed - here the minimum number of pledges is described and the number of possible combinations is included. It is worth remembering that when in our front door, which does not have a certificate confirming its anti-burglary when buying insurance, we can apply for discounts of up to 30%. It is enough to get at least two locks from the certified category. The higher the level or class of security, the greater the discount we can get.
