Reliable lock is not spoiled yet any garden // How to pick the lock on the gate: a review of 7 and relevant variants with specific examples

To date, pick the lock on the gate of corrugated board, wood or other material is both easy and difficult. In order for you to avoid this fate, I further describe to you all the existing variants of locking systems.

Option №1: Padlocks

Padlocks of different shapes

This is the easiest type of locking system, consisting of housing shackle springs directly against the closing mechanism:

Apparatus padlock

pros

• Easy to install their own hands. The only installation work that will be required - is the installation of loops: one on the door and the other on the fence. That they will be put, and bow before engage the locking mechanism after turning the key;

EXAMPLE operation padlock Intended

• Relatively low price. In general, the dispersion of prices in products of this type is very large, from very cheap models, opening up one hit with a hammer, to the more expensive and, therefore, reliable. So you can just pick up a copy of that best fit into your family budget.

Minuses

• Some of the disadvantages associated with the operation. In order to open and close a lock gates two hands must be used, which is not always convenient;
• Risk of freezing in winter. During the thaw water can drain directly into the secret of where her and crystallized a new freeze. As a result, the mechanism is simply because you do not open;

I can recommend the most simple and cheap, it's not very aesthetic, method of dealing with this problem. Take an empty plastic bottle of soda, cut a small hole in it, and winter wear such a device on the padlock. This will prevent liquid from entering the locking mechanism.

Not very nice, but cheap and effective

• enough Low level of protectionDue to the openness of the bow. That is, a potential attacker is not necessary to "fight" with a secret master key, will be enough to cut the very pieces with a hacksaw or special pliers.

In order to protect your site from such barbaric methods of hacking, I recommend to buy the so-called crab-locks. Their arrangement is such that they are its steel hull bow short shackle, to get to it is no longer possible. Although such samples are of course more expensive.

Option №2: Pinion

Rack lock for wicket

They represent such devices bolts, moving on to set the gate and fence hinges. Once very popular today, such locks are not practically used for the gates because of the following list of shortcomings:

Minuses

• The ability of the closure only on the inner sideThat significantly limits the operating capabilities products;
• Ease of hacking. The attacker simply insert the saw blade into the crack between the door and the fence to cut the bolt itself. After that enter the land he is already nothing to prevent.

Option №3: Mortice

Mortise lock on the gate

This copy cuts directly into the door leaf and has the following device:

The structure of the mortise lock mechanism

As a result, we get the next set of good and not-so sides:

pros

• serviceability. These types of locks are often seen as the input, and even interior doors in apartments and private homes. They are equipped with a handle and a latch in addition to the main beams, as can be seen from the scheme shown above. That is, the gate can be simply and firmly to cover, not closing, and to complete the lock by simply turning the key in one hand;
• The almost complete absence of the possibility of physical security. Once inside the body of the locking mechanism of the door leaf, then get to it from robbers did not succeed;
• Aesthetic appearance. Although correct to say his absence. Castle with this setting is hidden and does not violate the attractiveness of a wicket;

Simple elegant handle and keyhole - is, in fact, all that will be seen stranger eye

Minuses

• Low resistance to lock picking at the cheap models. Despite the fact that the physical access to such a device difficult to open it with the help of simple tools at hand for an experienced thief will not be difficult;

Classic set of burglar

• Relatively complicated assembly instruction. Even more than that, not even to each gate will attach the locking mechanism of the type in question, as its blade must have the necessary thickness and density sufficient to be able to locate it in currently.

Install mortise lock is performed in a specially prepared cavity in the door leaf

Option №4: false

Wicket door with lock Surface type

Mortise and overhead locking devices are very similar to each other, except for the installation. This variation is not mounted inside the door, and on it. This greatly simplifies installation and makes it possible to provide protection even thin doors made of profiled sheet.

The main advantages

• A sufficiently high level of reliability. Locks for installation on surface-gate type without using scrap or similar tool not vskroesh and quiet do not come out;
• Easy to install on the gate. Suffice it to apply for this drill or welder;
• Acceptable priceWhich is not much "hit" on the pocket.

Option №5: electromechanical

EXAMPLE electromechanical lock installed in wicket

Of all the varieties of the castles most impregnable. In fact, it is the modernization of overhead samples discussed above, rarely built, but there deadbolts are held by an electric motor. Outside such a device often called by dialing the correct combination or fed from a special remote radio.

pros

• Incredibly high protection against burglary. To open such a device is possible only by means of very expensive high-tech equipment that will allow to find the right code or recreate the desired radio;

External panel code instance

• serviceability. No need to rummage through his pockets or purse for the key. Just press the right buttons and open the way home. In addition, some samples and all are equipped with a remote control.

Open the gate can be even at a distance

Minuses

• Dependency on electricity. It is the scourge of modern times. Turning off the light leads to sinking house in the silent darkness, and considered locks for gates also can not work in these medieval conditions;

I recommend to buy only those models that are equipped with additional batteries. This is largely postpone the danger of jamming the door as a result of the accident at the power lines.

• High price. Over the same addition in the form of electric drive increases the cost of the product, but that, too, and reliability.

Variant №6: Electromagnetic

EXAMPLE gate, equipped electromagnetic lock

Surely, you are not just faced with such instances on the front door of apartment buildings. To open them, is required to the right place to bring a special magnetic key, on which the locking mechanism is configuredIt is also working on the electromagnetic principle.

And when such devices have just started to conquer the city, it was possible to speak boldly about their highest reliability. But to date, attackers have learned to simply pick up with special equipment required electromagnetic combination.

Option №7: Radio wave

These "guys" even more reliable electromechanical items as practically not subject to cracking. But they They are very expensive and are installed exclusively by qualified personnel. Such complexity is justified only for very important and expensive facilities.

conclusion

As a conclusion I can say that the most efficient in most cases in terms of cost and of the result set the waybill lock on the gate. Although other types of locking systems are also in demand in certain situations. If you have questions, ask and I will answer.
