Electromechanical lock for the wicket can be installed manually.
A locking device of this type offers a number of advantages over a conventional bolt or latch.
Each owner of the estate needs a reliable and easy-to-use line of protection against unauthorized access.
To provide such protection, you can install a comprehensive protection system, which includes a door phone and a remote-controlled lock.
The system must provide a timely and rapid opening of the door when the control signal is applied. And in the same way to bring the mechanism into working state, when the door is securely fixed in the locked state.

Lock design
Today the market can choose and purchase the most modern and perfect security system for the house and manor in general.
Installation and maintenance of such systems are handled by specialized companies. Although much can be done with their own hands.
Electromechanical lock for the wicket is similar to conventional mechanical locking and externally and by internal mechanism. The main difference of this device is the presence of an electrical component.
The electrical mechanism provides lock control in many ways. You can unlock the lock with a key, a magnetic card or using the keyboard to dial a codeword.
The mechanism of the lock is simple and intuitive. In many designs, the position of the bolt is controlled using a solenoid.
When a control signal is applied, the solenoid pulls the lock bolt from the mating part of the lock. The bolt is fixed in this position with the aid of a lock.
Thus, the door "switches" to the open state. If a repeated signal arrives or the electric voltage is disconnected, the lock will no longer hold the bolt and, when the spring is applied, it will return to the "closed" position.
The video shows how the electromechanical locking device works.

This lock can be opened from the inside by pressing the button. Outside - the usual key.
Today there are two types of electromechanical locks on the market:
- mortise;
- waybill.
The first type of lock can be installed not only on the gate, but also on the entrance doors to the house. It is built into the inner cavity of the door.
It can be opened with a key or with a control signal. The appearance of the overlaid product does not differ from the usual lock.
From the inside, the device is opened by pressing a button, and from the outside with a key or a signal from the key fob. When buying a lock complete with a model of any type attached fasteners, the answer and keys.
Special features of
When it became necessary to purchase and install an electromechanical lock, it is advisable to approach this task without fuss and haste. The practice shows that locks, locking devices for all occasions are presented in the market.
In order not to waste money and choose the appropriate mechanism, you need to carefully read the technical and operational characteristics of the product.
Electromechanical lock is convenient to use. If necessary, it can be blocked from the inside, and then it will be impossible to open it even with a "native" key.
Electromechanical locks are highly reliable and can last for many years without replacement. This is important when installing a lock on a street gate with your own hands.
At the entrance to the estate many owners install a video intercom. It is used as one of the main elements of the security system.
The same system provides for the connection of the lock.
The elements involved in one circuit allow to provide round-the-clock control over the adjacent territory, and the possibility to open and close locks with the help of a remote control system.
The lock on the wicket can be installed in a horizontal and vertical position.
When choosing a particular type of electromechanical lock, you should also familiarize yourself with other designs that are offered to customers.
Depending on the way in which locking and unlocking of the locking mechanism is performed, the locks are divided into the following types:
- electrically interlocking;
- solenoid;
- motor;
- electric strike.
A doorphone is connected to any model. All mechanisms remain in working order in the absence of electrical energy, except for the solenoid.
Such a lock can be used only with reliable electricity supply to the house and the whole manor. On the video you can see the complete set and the device of the lock, which is installed on the gate.

Installing the lock with your own hands
Before installing the door lock on the gate, you need to carefully inspect and assess the quality of the gate as a whole.
The gate can not be skewed and must close and open without requiring great effort, smoothly and without a squeak.
Under these conditions, anyone who can handle a screwdriver and an electric drill can cope with the installation of the lock with his own hands.
You should first read the installation instructions. If in the future the lock and intercom will be switched into one complex, it is necessary to think over the way of their switching and connection to the electric network.
The first step is to identify the installation locations on the wicket door and on the frame of the gate. To do this, the lock is applied to the attachment point and markers mark the points at which holes need to be drilled.
The distance between the lock and the counterpart, which will be fixed to the frame, should not exceed 5 mm. After all the holes are drilled, the lock is installed into place and fixed with screws.
In the same way, the mating part of the lock is fastened to the frame of the gate. The next step is to check the accuracy of the lock installation. The wicket should also be closed, and the lock bolt freely enter the mating part.
The next step is to lock the keypad or the card reader on the lock. Then the cable is pulled from the electrical panel and connected to the terminals of the lock.
The wiring diagram should be simple, intuitive and reliable. After connecting, you can apply voltage to the lock. Practice shows that this is a crucial step and you need to perform all the actions with great care.
During the test connection, it is necessary to check the device operation for closing and opening. In the normal operation of the device, the lid is locked and the installation works are considered complete.

Operation features of
When installing the input and output control system from the infield, the mortise lock is rarely used. This fact is explained by the complexity and high labor costs for installation.
At the same time, the intercom and accompanying elements, as a rule, are mounted by narrow specialists.
The video presents a video, which describes the security system of a country house and the rules for setting up and maintenance.
Video intercom, along with an electromechanical lock, are considered the main elements of this system.
In order to maintain it in working order, periodic servicing is required.
Given the fact that the electromechanical lock on the gate is exposed to intense weathering, it must be protected and periodically inspected.
Experienced owners of the manor fix a metal visor or casing over the lock. These simple measures can significantly increase the period of operation without inspection and prevention.
The lock is inspected twice a year - in spring and autumn.
