The main characteristics of the invisibility lock

A distinctive feature of the invisibility lock, which made the mechanism so popular today, is the absence of a keyhole. This makes it impossible to hack the door in all known ways.

A slotted electronic device is installed on any type of door. Depending on the manufacturer and design features, locks can be equipped with a motor drive with closures in the extreme positions, due to which it is practically impossible to open the deadbolts by force. Also, the product can be equipped with a locking mechanism with built-in electronics, which reliably fixes the position of the closed lock. But for all models of the design, there are common characteristics that the mechanism has.

Functionality of the

control unit The concealed electronic lock must provide the following functions of the control unit:

• key deletion by number;
• writing / overwriting a new key;
• receiving SMS-notification of the activation of the sensor system;
• adjustment of radio control functions;
• sound siren connection;
• opening / closing the lock via a mobile device;
• receiving notification of the beginning / termination of the device's power supply from the network;
• notice to the owner about recording a new remote key;
• automatic locking of the lock in case of a locked door;
• key blocking via SMS when the host needs it;
• connection of various sensors: emergency, fire, position sensor bolts, doors, etc.

Functionality of electromechanical device

• concealment of the area of ​​the lock-invisibility;
• provision of invoice / mortise unit;
• protects the device against intentional mechanical damage;
• provision of emergency opening of the lock manually from inside the premises, for fire safety purposes;
• secure fixation of crossbars in the required position;
• lock control.

Factors for selecting the lock

The door electronic lock of the invisible is mounted in a specially chosen place, after which no methods of spoilage such as hacksaws, clogging with foreign objects, glue, etc., do not threaten its performance. In particular, such a device is convenient in those houses where there are no separate partitions, halls, and the doors go directly to the flight of stairs.

The process of selecting an invisible lock can be greatly simplified if you adhere to the following requirements for the device:

1. Invisibility is quite an important criterion for an electronic product, while it is worth choosing the most non-standard type, so that attackers could not break it.
2. It is preferable to choose a lock with a lock without bolts or with an electric motor type key. This will allow the device to retain the ability to open / close, even with a strong skewing of the door.
3. The mechanism must be equipped with an emergency handle that will open the door from the inside if a fire alarm or other dangerous situation occurs.
4. Autonomous power supply is an important feature, since the lock operating from the network requires a complex installation, it consumes a lot of electricity and this entails financial costs.
5. The product must be equipped with a signaling mechanism that notifies the operating status.
6. In the event of a power failure or its disappearance, the mechanism should not be automatically blocked or opened.
7. Choose a proprietary product, because the patented mechanism of locking bolts in quality locks allows them to securely fix, withstanding a static load of 800 kg.
8. The lock must be suitable for any type of door leaf, vandal-resistant and reliable.
9. It is desirable to choose keys in the form of a plastic card, rather than a key fob, because when transmitting a signal over a radio channel, intruders can intercept it.
10. The device should quickly and easily cancel the lost key fobs.

Choosing a lock for the manufacturer

Today's popular invisible castle is easy to buy, because this segment of the market presents a wide range of products. Among the most famous and rating producers that offer such mechanisms, we can distinguish such:

• Aler;
• CISA;
• Flash lock;
• ML;
• Tantos;
• Policy;
• Fort.

Locks of the company ML and Aler

The products of these companies are represented by devices of electromagnetic type. The peculiarity of the invisibility lock from ML or Aler is that its opening / closing is by the action of an electromagnet. For such products is also characteristic of the conclusion of a round bulge on the outer part of the door leaf, which looks like a metal button. With this very little effort will be enough to rip it and the lock will be hacked. Therefore, these locks are desirable to install in the inter-room space, offices, offices, etc.

Advantages:

• low cost;
• easy to install the device;
• reliability of the internal locking mechanism;
• exterior aesthetic of the lock.

Disadvantage:

• is not suitable for installation on the front door, in view of the simplicity of the deliberate hacking.

Locks of Fort and Polis

The assortment of domestic manufacturers is supplemented with one more version of the device - electromechanical latches. Such door locks of the invisible are opened with the help of a built-in solenoid, and locking is performed by means of re-locking the bolt. They can be both overhead and crash inside the door leaf.

Advantages:

• low cost;
• the difficulty of opening the lock;
• high reliability of the mortise mechanism;
• products are made of durable material.

Disadvantages:

• overhead mechanism is inferior to the protective features, it is easier to crack;The
• lock automatically closes when the door is locked.

Locks by CISA

The hidden locks of the invisible Italian manufacturer are also represented by devices of a waybill, but in quality far superior to previous firms. Such products will reliably protect the premises by introducing the latest technologies.

Advantages:

• possibility of remote control of the device;
• control of the history of access to the lock;
• high quality of manufacturing materials;
• the possibility of biometric access to the mechanism.

Disadvantage:

• high cost of products.

Locks from Tantos and Flash Lock

These manufacturers offer electromechanical solenoid locks , featuring reliability, practicality, quality. The principle of operation of the device is extremely simple: the opening / closing of the valve occurs under the influence of a signal from the console. Such a lock is a powerful guard house, because such a mechanism is extremely difficult to detect and crack.

Advantages:

• the complexity of the mechanism, providing high reliability;
• invisibility;
• multifunctionality;
• integrated magneto-contact sensor;
• easy operation.

Disadvantages:

• difficulty in installation;
• high cost of the product.
